Write English Like a Native: 12 Phrases, 3 Habits, Fix the business English phrases that mark you as non-native, and rebuild the sentences underneath them.
Course Description
Your English is correct. It still sounds foreign.
Not because of grammar mistakes — a grammar checker cleared those years ago. It’s the phrases. “Kindly find attached.” “Please revert back to me.” “It’s worth to mention.” “I am agree.” Every one of them parses. Every one of them tells a native reader that English is not your first language, and half of them make you sound like a 1985 fax rather than a colleague.
This course is 35 minutes long and covers exactly two things.
First, the twelve patterns. Dated business English that textbooks still teach and nobody has written since the fax era. The prepositions and verb patterns that no rule explains and you simply have to know — “depends on”, “discuss the plan” with no “about”, “look forward to hearing”. The grammar four: “since” versus “for”, the uncountable nouns that refuse to take a plural, “I am agree”, and double comparatives like “more better”.
Second — and this is the part that other courses skip — the layer under the words. Three structural habits that separate native writing from correct writing:
– Verbs, not nouns. English builds serious writing out of verbs; most other languages build it out of nouns.
– The actor first. “It was decided” hides who decided, and in business writing that reads as evasive, not polite.
– End-focus. Open with what the reader knows, close with what’s new, chain forward.
Plus the loudest tell of all: overcompensation — asking one question three different ways because you’re not sure you were understood.
Every lecture ends with a quiz, thirty-six questions in total, all built from real sentences rather than textbook drills.
Who this is for: anyone who writes English at work but didn’t grow up in it — engineers, founders, marketers, support agents. B1 and up. If you translate from Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian,
French, or Italian, the specific interference errors from your language are named directly.
Who this is not for: beginners, and anyone preparing for IELTS or TOEFL. This is workplace writing — emails, Slack, LinkedIn, docs.
You need no textbook and no prior study. Bring an email you sent last week and rewrite it by the end.
Who this course is for:
- Non-native English speakers whose grammar is already correct but whose writing still reads as foreign
- Engineers, freelancers, and remote workers writing emails and Slack messages to US/UK clients and colleagues
- Anyone who has been told their English is “very good” and suspects that isn’t a compliment
