4. You want to speak naturally without having to think about the language.

5. You’re looking for an enjoyable, step-by-step plan to help you improve your English.

If you answered yes then you know how bad it feels when everybody gets the joke, but you.

Introducing "The Academy"!

Improve your British English in a fun and effective way.
Based on a method that has helped over 30,000 learners, our membership program provides new learning resources every week. Stay entertained while building healthy study habits.

Here's How it Works

We've developed a learning process that is simple yet powerful and has been designed to allow non-native British English speakers to make real progress, fast. 

Follow our roadmap for tangible results or learn at your own pace. Engage with our exercises, and you'll achieve great progress.

STEP 01

Listen, read & enjoy an episode.

The starting point is always an ad free, full length episode of the podcast. Listen and read along with the online interactive transcript so that you get used to a native speed of English and conversations that include idioms, phrasal verbs and slang terms.

STEP 02

Practice the language

Next up we break it down into the bits of language you should know as a student. We do that through a fun and interactive approach where you're not asked to simply memorise but instead practise the language. You'll find various tools to do that such as exclusive videos, audios, quizzes, glossaries, flashcards and fun writing assignments.

STEP 03

Get LIVE personal feedback

Revise what you've just learnt during a 45-60 minute live small group class on Zoom where you'll get PERSONAL feedback from Charlie or another talented teacher. Plus you'll get to have fun doing the speaking exercises with passionate, like-minded learners.

My big problem has always been fluency but now I can tell proudly that I'm much more confident and I'm not more afraid to talk.

Eight months ago when I started this amazing journey I never imagined that today I would record this video and put myself out there without feeling pure cringe.
What I like most about The Academy is the live classes where you can apply what you learnt from The Academy. He breaks down difficult concepts easily but the best part is that he teaches English in real life that you can easily use in your daily conversation.

Frequently asked questions

How long will it take me to complete a Season?

This will depend on how much time you have. The activities are designed to give you something new everyday. So each lesson in a Season will take 2 weeks to complete for the average learner.

What currency is the payment in?

£ – British Pound Sterling / Quid 😉

What if I just want access to the full length episodes, transcripts and glossary, but not the academy lessons?

I’d say you’re missing out on a lot of amazing content but we all learn differently so I have created The Premium Podcast Membership for this reason.

Will this course help improve my english?

Yes! I’ve been teaching English for years and know that this course is going to improve your English significantly.

What's the difference between the monthly membership and the annual membership?

Great question. The Academy monthly membership is billed once a month at £40. Whereas The Academy annual membership is billed once a year at a discounted price. So if you know you will love The Academy then you can save yourself £120 by purchasing the Annual Membership.

What is the difference between The Academy Membership and The Premium Podcast Membership?

The Academy Membership includes the "lessons" from each Seasonal episode. The lessons have exclusive explainer videos, pronunciation practice audio files, quizzes and much more interactive content + Weekly Speaking Classes with Charlie and the teaching team.
Whereas The Premium Podcast Membership is for students who only want the full episodes, transcripts and glossaries.

What are the Bitesize Episodes?

The Bitesize Episodes were made for you to complete quickly if you don't have as much time. They come with full transcripts, extended glossaries and flashcards.

What are the Bonus Episodes?

The Bonus Episodes are the same length as a Seasonal Episode and as all Academy Members get to hear the exclusive extra parts to the episode. Bonus Episodes also come with full transcripts, extended glossaries and flashcards. They do not have videos, pronunciation practice files or quizzes.

Even more student reviews

Charlie is very good at showing people when the new words and phrases can be used. It helps me to really apply the phrases in the future. The rise and fall of his voice also makes the content more interesting as I can feel the different emotions from him.
Judy, Lawyer in Taiwan
It's evident that Charlie has put so much effort into The Academy and I will definitely recommend The British English Podcast to anyone wanting to improve their English and to my subscribers on Instagram! The Academy is really easy to use and it has a lot of useful tasks.
Anya, Teacher in Russia
Charlie's podcast and academy is easy to follow and helps me remember every word he teaches by following the quizzes and exercises. He is such a good teacher with specific plans for his own lessons who knows the difficulties of a non-native english learner like me.
