About the Author

Hello there! My name is Christopher Hill.

I have been an international English professor for more than 25 years, during which time I have taught at all levels, and many age groups from High School up to young adults. I have taught at a few big organizations in Japan, Vietnam, Germany and Taiwan, Universities, and technical colleges.

I have extensive experience teaching Business English in addition to General English. I also help ESL students prepare for English exams such as TOEFL iBT, IELTS, TOEIC and BEC.

I was an official examiner for IELTS, Cambridge Assessment and TEA. This allows me to assess my students level and give my students a more custom and tailor-made approach for learning how to speak English more fluently.

I love helping others reach their language goals. I want students to feel confident, to have fun and to find relevancy in what we are doing!

I am extremely blessed to able to teach and support all of you in reaching your individual goals. As English has become such a crucial skill for connecting with the world at large - be it for business, education or pleasure

Introduction

T he ability to speak fluent English will revolutionize your life in ways you simply cannot see yet. Not only will you be able to travel to English-speaking countries and immerse yourself in the culture and way of life far easier, but you will open countless doors in terms of business and your career.

I am going to be the one to help you achieve fluency.

Let me introduce myself.

I am Christopher Hill and I am a highly experienced English professor of more than 25 years. Throughout my career, I have specialized in English speaking, helping many people, just like you, go from zero fluency to being able to hold a fluent conversation with an English native, without nerves or mistakes.

I have taught at several large educational institutions across Japan and China predominantly, as well as Open Universities, technical colleges, and even high schools. Throughout that time, I have taught a huge range of different students, all of whom managed to learn English as a second language.

They did it, and so can you.

I dont know your background, I can only assume that you are from a country which isnt English speaking, but you have a desire to learn fluent English in order to help you in your career, or because you simply want to take advantages of the many perks of being able to speak this most international of languages as fluently as possible. I should also point out that this book isnt for beginners , it is for those who already know a sufficient standard of English, but wish to speak more fluently.

Whatever your motivation, the key thing to remember is that if you put in the work, if you dedicate yourself to practice and understanding English at its very core, you will be able to achieve the holy grail - Fluency.

What is Fluency?

F luency in any language is the ability to be able to hold a conversation with confidence, to use the correct words and combinations accurately, and to do it all with easy confidence. You are fluent in your native language, and you dont consciously think of which words to use and how to group them together because of its second nature to you. That is the core definition of fluency.

Whist learning a second language will probably never mean youre quite as confident or fluent as you are in your native language, you can aim for as close as possible. In ESL (English as a Second Language) terms, thats what were going to be working towards in this book.
