Vocabulary Builder Course

Do you like to work out? That means to exercise.

I usually work out at the gym, and the gym has lots of different types of exercise equipment. You might not know the names of these in English, so today we’re going to learn 20 gym vocabulary words with pictures.

Remember, becoming fluent in English is just like reaching a high level of fitness – you need to exercise and practice consistently!

My videos will definitely help you do that… and you can make even faster progress when you join my courses – like the Vocabulary Builder Course, which will teach you 1,000+ words along with exercises to help you practice them.

As a teacher, part of my job is to teach you English, and the other part is to encourage you not to give up – you are getting better every day and you will reach your goals if you stick with it – that means keep going 🙂
