Take the short-cut to mastering English: Master the 5 Core English Tenses and Speak with more Confidence.
„Once you know all about the 5 core tenses, you’ll have the solid ground you’ve always been looking for when you talk.“ (Birgit)
People are insecure – when they lack vocabulary and when they are unsure about the tenses. You can get rid of feeling unsure about how you structure your sentences – once and for all – because knowing how to use 5 core tenses correctly will get you onto another level.
-Because you will be able to navigate Past, Present and Future for your listeners in a truly correct way.
-Because you will be able to use Present Perfect Tense – the one tense almost all German natives struggle with.
-Because this is the basis for any other tense. These 5 are the first step towards true English Confidence.
You will pick up and learn vocabulary along the way.
Confidence is not only about a lack of vocabulary, but also about insecurity of using the structure of the language.
I can promise you: Feeling more secure with the 5 core tenses will get you involved more, which will lead to more focus on English, more vocabulary, more engagement etc.
Step onboard and this upward-turning experience!
This has nothing to do with how you were taught English at school.
Speak Confident English
This book teaches a different way of grammar. It focuses on the five core tenses: Simple Present, Present Continuous, Simple Past, Present Perfect (and Continuous) and Will-Future. It is for non-native speakers of English, who lack confidence and feel insecure in using the tenses. It is for people who seek fluency in English. Recommended for B1-B2 / IELTS speaking communication and everyone interested in the Big-5 method.
„Take a chance with English. Clear and correct English might become just the door opener you need when the time is right.“
The author stresses on the fact that a vast majority of all communication in English uses five tenses. The message is: to become familiar with these core tenses before mastering the rest (another seven tenses). In the book, you will also learn what these other tenses are, but also understand why the focus is on the Big-5.
The book offers -on under 80 pages – a well-thought-through strategy how to gain confidence, clear goals which learners can quickly achieve and a lot of motivation for more involvement for learners. The approach is: strategic language learning. You will also learn about the Linguistic Fluency Model = Identity, Authority, Clarity, Emotional Regulation, Strategic Expression – another important aspect for more English confidence.
At the end of each chapter, there is one page with some exercises and QR-Codes to more learnings.
