The Fluencers Community - What is this place?
Welcome to the Fluencers Community! 🌍💬 I’m beyond excited to have you here! Together, we’re building something that’s about much more than just learning English or preparing for the IELTS exam. This is a place to grow, support, and influence each other in ways that will reshape not only our language skills but our confidence and mindset. 🌟 Our Mission: The Fluencers community is grounded in these core principles: 1. Growth: We’re here to improve—not just in language but as individuals, growing stronger and more confident every day. 2. Support: This is about us, not just you or me. A movement for change happens when we speak in unison, not when one person speaks louder than the rest. Your voice matters here, no matter how small you think it is. 3. Consistency: Real progress takes time. This is where we hold each other accountable and build the habits that lead to success. 🔑 Community Guidelines: 1. Add Value: Share your knowledge, give feedback, and help others. This is a space to give, not just take. If you’re here to only receive without contributing, this isn’t your place. 2. Engage: Support others by liking, commenting, and contributing to discussions. Together, we make change. 3. Be Patient: Growth doesn’t happen overnight. Stay kind, offer support, and allow time for yourself and others to evolve. 4. Stay Positive: Celebrate each other’s victories, learn from setbacks, and spread encouragement. This community is about more than individuals—it’s about us, speaking together, creating change, and taking back our confidence from the limits of traditional education. Your voice matters. Let’s build something great together and challenge the status quo! 💥

The 10 Steps to Speak English Confidently
Never Forget Vocabulary You Can Actually Use When Speaking English 🧠💬 Let’s face it—you’ve been there. You study new words, cram them into your brain, and feel like you’ve got it. But when you actually need to use them in a conversation… poof! They vanish. 😓 That’s because most people are memorizing vocabulary in a way that doesn’t actually stick. They’re learning words in isolation, repeating random phrases, and hoping they’ll somehow show up when it’s time to speak. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t work that way. 🚫 Context is King 👑 Building your language is like constructing a house—piece by piece. You can’t just throw up a few walls and expect them to stand forever. You need a solid foundation, strong beams, and careful alignment. Otherwise, when you try to have a conversation about a topic for 2-3 minutes, your language will collapse. 🏚️ Many people memorize thousands of vocabulary words, but their language skills are like a house full of holes. Without the right materials—like cement, structural beams, and proper alignment—those walls will crumble. Random learning approaches leave most learners lost and confused, ultimately leading to frustration and giving up. Here’s the Game Changer: The Smooth Fluency System 🌀 With the Smooth Fluency System, you’ll never forget vocabulary again—and more importantly, you’ll use it confidently when speaking in English. This system integrates the three essential levels of vocabulary (active, expanding, and passive) to make sure those words don’t just sit in your brain… they come out when you need them. 🎯 Here’s How It Works: Step 1: Identify a Topic and Stick to It 🎯 Choose a topic where your vocabulary is weak. Why? This gives your brain a clear focus and ensures every word you learn is actually useful to you. Step 2: Learn Vocabulary in Context 🗣️ Stop memorizing lists of random words. Focus on phrasal verbs, collocations, and power verbs—the words that native speakers actually use. Learn them in real-life contexts, so you know when and how to use them.

You’ll be able to share your progress, exchange tips, and encourage each other along the way. Together, we can achieve our pronunciation goals and make a real impact on our IELTS performance. 🎥 All videos will be uploaded to the Skool platform so you can access them if you miss the live class. Plus, you'll get daily practice sounds to work on! 📱 Join the WeChat/WhatsApp Group! In this group, you can post your daily practice videos (1-2 minutes max).

Are You Bad at English? My English is Bad
The Real Problem: Why You’re Stuck and Not Fluent in English 🤯 Let me lay it out straight for you. You’re working hard, right? Memorizing vocabulary, going through endless lists of words 📝. You feel like you’re making progress. But here’s what happens next... You go to your English class 📚, and the listening exercise is on a completely different topic. None of the words you memorized show up. 😤 Then, you’re asked to do a reading on that same topic. And what do you get? 1-3% of the vocabulary from the listening exercise overlaps with the reading 🧐. So now your brain is juggling all these new words that have no connection to what you just studied. But wait, there’s more. You go home, watch a movie or a YouTube video 🎥… and NONE of the vocabulary you’ve been trying to remember shows up. Instead, you’re bombarded with even more new, random words. 🤦‍♂️ Then, it’s time to actually talk to someone in English 💬, and you feel completely stuck. You can only think of the random words you memorized last week, but they’re useless in this conversation. Your brain is drowning in disconnected information 🌀, and you can’t form the right links between what you’ve learned and what you need to say. And to top it off, next week your school moves on to another topic without ever revisiting the words you just tried so hard to memorize. All that effort? Gone. Wasted. 😔 Your Brain is Stuck in Stage 1 and 2 🧠⛔ Here’s the truth: you’re not stupid, and you’re not bad at learning languages. The problem is the system you’re using—it’s working against how your brain actually learns. Let’s talk about the four stages your brain needs to go through to learn vocabulary: 1. Unconscious Incompetence: You don’t even know what you don’t know. 🤷‍♂️ 2. Conscious Incompetence: Now you realize what you don’t know, and it’s frustrating. 😬 3. Conscious Competence: You can use the words, but it takes effort and focus. 💡 4. Unconscious Competence: You can use the words without thinking—it’s automatic. 🏆
