Words Worth Knowing — Advanced Reading and Vocabulary for Fluent English Learners (C1–C2)You already speak English well. You read the news, handle meetings, and hold your own in conversation. What you want now is range: the precise word instead of the near-enough one, the structure that makes a sentence land, the confidence to write and speak at the level you actually think at.This course is built for exactly that.WHAT'S INSIDE50 original stories — mysteries, histories, journeys, and character studies written specifically for advanced learners. Each is professionally narrated in American English so you can listen, read along, or both.750 vocabulary words, every one of them different. No lesson repeats a word taught in any other lesson, so all 50 lessons move you forward instead of covering old ground.50 grammar points, one per lesson, each drawn from the story you have just read. You will work through inversion, cleft sentences, reduced relative clauses, the agentless passive, concessive clauses, litotes, and forty-four more — the structures that separate fluent English from advanced English.HOW EACH LESSON WORKSEvery lesson is fully interactive and takes around 30–40 minutes:- Listen to the story, then read it with tap-to-hear vocabulary support- Build the 15 new words through definitions, examples, and gap-fill practice- Sharpen precision with Word Choice — real confusable pairs like affluence and effluence, suppress and repress, uncharted and unchartered- Study the grammar point with worked examples and five practice transformations- Test your ear with dictation from four different speakers- Practise pronunciation with read-aloud exercises- Answer open speaking questions and get AI feedback on your response- Check your comprehension with five multiple-choice questions- Reinforce everything with a word search and crossword built from that lesson's vocabulary- Finish with three Useful in Life phrases you can start using immediatelyWHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENTThe vocabulary is genuinely cumulative. Most courses recycle the same advanced words across lessons; this one does not, so 50 lessons means 750 distinct additions to your active vocabulary.Every Word Choice question includes a register item — choosing the sentence that belongs in a report, a statement, or a professional note rather than the one that merely sounds impressive. Advanced English is as much about judgement as vocabulary.The stories are written to be worth reading on their own. You will want to know how they end.WHO IT'S FORFluent English speakers at C1 or C2 who want to close the gap between understanding everything and expressing anything. Especially suited to professionals who need their written and spoken English to carry authority.WHAT YOU'LL NEEDHeadphones or speakers, and about half an hour per lesson. No prior coursework required — lessons can be taken in any order.

Fifty original stories that build advanced vocabulary, grammar, and reading confidence for fluent English learners at C1–C2. Every lesson teaches 15 unique new words that are worth knowing.
