In movies, books, fast conversations between native speakers… English seems a LOT harder. 😵💫
You understand most of your English lessons… but when you encounter English in real life, there are words, expressions, and conversations you can’t quite follow.
There’s a reason for this:
💡 English lessons are designed to help you understand.
🌎 But real-world English is NOT designed for English learners.
The vocabulary is NOT simplified.
The speed of speaking is NOT slowed down.
Nobody is stopping to explain new idioms or expressions.
That means it’s more difficult – and more frustrating. 😖
But if you want to become more fluent and confident, you need to go beyond English lessons and get comfortable with the language that native speakers ACTUALLY use.
That’s exactly what the Real-World English Challenge can help you do!

Read or listen to a piece of real-world English and learn key words and phrases

Do the exercises to review the new vocabulary and practice using it yourself

Share your ideas and opinions on the topic inside our private student WhatsApp group

Start the cycle again with a NEW piece of real-world English to learn & practice different things!
Native speakers understand and use English in many different contexts:
During the challenge, we’ll learn the language in a variety of ways, using REAL sources such as:
These are are created by native speakers, for native speakers! The Real-World English Challenge helps you become comfortable and confident with native-level English.
You won’t be doing this challenge alone – you’ll be together with me and with other students inside our private WhatsApp group, where we can interact and chat!
I’ll give you questions related to the topic, and you can share your thoughts, respond to other students, and practice communicating naturally in English.
There’s no pressure to be perfect – the goal is to use your English to express your ideas and connect with other learners around the world.
You can participate whenever it’s convenient for you – there’s no need to be online at a specific time.
Real conversation is fantastic for improving your fluency!

Hi! I’m Shayna – the teacher here at Espresso English. More than 100,000 students like you, from all over the world, have become more fluent through my clear and practical lessons.
With more than 10 years of teaching experience, I know how to help you reach your goal of fluent English.
My online lessons are quick and powerful – just like an espresso coffee – so you can improve your English fast.
The Real-World English Challenge is designed for intermediate to advanced English learners who want to understand and use English more confidently in everyday situations.
If you already understand English lessons but sometimes struggle with real articles, videos, conversations, or informal expressions, this challenge is for you!
That’s completely normal — and it’s one of the reasons I created this challenge!
Even advanced English learners encounter unfamiliar words and expressions when reading, watching, or listening to real-world English.
But you don’t need to understand every single word to understand the overall message.
Plus, I’ll teach you the most useful vocabulary and expressions, explain what they mean in context, and give you opportunities to practice them.
If there’s something else you don’t understand after reading/listening to my explanation, you can always ask in the WhatsApp group and we’ll be happy to clarify!
Plan on spending approximately 15–20 minutes a day, although some lessons may take a little longer depending on your English level.
We work on each piece of real-world English for three days, so you’ll have time to fully understand the material, practice the vocabulary, and use what you’ve learned.
During the challenge, we’ll explore 10 different examples of real-world English, including articles, videos, interviews, reviews, and informal conversations.
For each one, we’ll follow a simple three-day process:
Day 1 – LEARN: Read, watch, or listen to real English, and I’ll explain useful words and expressions.
Day 2 – PRACTICE: Complete exercises to review the vocabulary and help you remember it.
Day 3 – CHAT: Share your thoughts, opinions, and experiences in our WhatsApp group.
Then we’ll move on to the next topic!
No problem! The three-day structure gives you some flexibility.
For example, if you don’t finish the vocabulary exercises on Day 2, you can catch up on Day 3, since we won’t introduce a new article or video that day.
And you’ll have lifetime access to the lessons and materials, so you can review them whenever you want.
The WhatsApp group will be active during the challenge from November 1-30.
You don’t NEED to participate in it, but I strongly encourage you to join! The WhatsApp group gives you an opportunity to put your English into practice in addition to just studying it. Plus, you’ll get to interact with other students from all over the world who are doing the challenge together.
The WhatsApp group is primarily for practicing communication, sharing ideas, and learning from one another. It’s not an individual correction or coaching program, so I won’t be correcting every message.
Instead, the focus is on helping you become more comfortable using English to express yourself.
The VIP option includes all 30 days of challenge lessons plus four live group conversation sessions!
During these sessions, you’ll practice discussing the challenge topics in real conversations.
The group conversation sessions will be hosted on Zoom (I’ll send you a link) on Mondays at 11:00 A.M. in U.S. Eastern Time (check your time zone) on November 9, 16, 23, and 30.
It’s a great option if you want extra speaking practice, more personal interaction, and a little additional motivation to use your English!
Most English courses teach you using lessons specifically created for English learners.
In this challenge, we’ll start with English that’s actually used in the real world — articles, videos, interviews, online discussions, and more.
This makes it more advanced, more challenging, and better for improving your fluency, since you’ll be working with material that is created by and for native English speakers.
You’ll have lifetime access to the challenge lessons, vocabulary explanations, exercises, and downloadable materials.
The live WhatsApp group is only available during the challenge dates, so I recommend participating while the group is active November 1-30.
But even after the challenge ends, you can return to the lessons and continue reviewing everything you’ve learned.

I know you'll love the Real-World English Challenge! But if you try the first 7 days of lessons and decide it’s not for you, just email me for a full refund - I’ll send your money back within 24 hours.
