8-Week
Comprehension
Workshop
Upper Intermediate Listening Comprehension, Vocabulary Expansion, and Pronunciation.
A structured, step-by-step system to understand native speakers in real conversations.
🤔 Does this sound like you?
You’re an upper-intermediate English learner and you understand traditional learning materials:
🟢 Grammar rules
🟢 Classroom and textbook explanations
🟢 Simplified learning videos with subtitles
These were helpful as a beginner, but now they feel boring, repetitive, and unnatural.
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
However, when you listen to native speakers, you feel lost.
🔴 People speak too fast and they don’t pronounce every word clearly.
🔴 You know the words, but you freeze or ask native speakers to repeat themselves in real conversations.
🔴 You can’t enjoy movies, videos, or podcasts without subtitles.
This can be frustrating and can cause many learners to stop making progress or to give up completely.
The problem is… the gap.

Real Conversations
Most traditional learning materials stop too early, without showing you how to bridge the gap.
This course was created to solve this exact problem.
✨ Introducing the 8-Week Comprehension Workshop
Better understanding. More confidence. Real progress.
Learn real English intentionally from content created for native speakers,
with feedback and support every step of the way.
📋 8 weeks of structured, step-by-step lessons (a new lesson unlocks each week).
▶️ Train your listening with real, authentic English content, not simplified textbook material.
🎧 A new listening & pronunciation skill every week — each lesson includes a detailed explanation of a key concept (ex. connected speech, sound changes, etc.), so you understand exactly why native English sounds the way it does.
📚 Expand your vocabulary in context, with explanations, interactive flashcards, and practice activities.
📖 A weekly reading & listening activity — each week includes a short text with audio about an aspect of American culture, connected to that week's topic
🧭 A method you can keep using after the course: Gina teaches you how to train your listening on your own.

🎓 About Your Teacher:
👋 Hi, I’m Gina! I’m a certified English teacher with over 13 years of experience. I’ve taught hundreds of students in large classrooms, small groups, 1-on-1 settings, and on my
YouTube channel, Your World In English.
Just like you, I’m also a language learner! I studied Korean while living in South Korea, and I’m currently learning Spanish. So I understand what it feels like to hear a language and think,
“I know these words… so why can’t I understand this?”
This course is built on both my professional teaching experience and my personal experience as a learner, so you can finally start understanding English the way it’s actually spoken.

Yes, of course! Improving your listening is one of the fastest ways to improve your speaking.
When you can clearly hear how native speakers connect words, reduce sounds, and use natural rhythm, it becomes much easier to repeat and use those patterns yourself.
-
This course does not include personal feedback, but it still provides clear guidance and practice.
