The secret to sounding fluent in English isn't more vocabulary - it's knowing how to join your ideas together. In this lesson, you'll learn the linking words and connecting phrases (however, as well, instead, if so, and more) that turn correct English into fluent English. This lesson is for students at B1 (intermediate) level and above.
This is one lesson from inside my Club, an exclusive community for English learners who want to excel.
Every Friday in the Club, we release a foundational lesson like this one, with notes and exercises so students can practise and brush up over the weekend. Then, on Monday, we take it further — live, in the room, with students — extending the same material to an advanced level.
We call it Friday Foundations → Monday Momentum.
If you want to see where this lesson goes next, join us live inside the Club on Monday, where we'll build on everything covered here.
Beyond the weekly lessons, the Club runs events every single day: speaking practice, vocabulary building, and real conversation with other serious learners. It's a hub for people who don't just want to learn English, but need to excel at it for their career and life.
