Hi everyone!

I\\u2019m Georgiana; founder of SpeakEnglishPodcast.com. My mission is to help YOU speak English fluently.

In this episode:

  • I will discuss about certificates and real progress in learning English.
  • After that, you can practice your speaking with a Question & Answer story.

Ok, let\\u2019s get started!

As you may know, certificates in English are something important. For example, everybody knows about the Cambridge University Certificates. The First Certificate is probably the most famous one.

If you prefer American English, you have the TOFL certificate, which is also quite popular.

You\\u2019d be amazed about how many students prepare themselves to get one of these certificates.

The problem here is people tend to confuse having a certificate with the real level of English they actually have.

For example, for someone who has gotten the First Certificate\\u2026 Can you be totally sure that this person can speak fluently?

According to the\\xa0advertising\\u2026of course! That\\u2019s what you have paid for, and that\\u2019s why you have spent so\\xa0many hours doing all kinds of boring exercises.

(END OF THE EXTRACT).
