Your Fast Track to Fluency

Fluency Concepts are online course activities focused on using ONE English grammar point with multiple language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking).

  • Interactive PowerPoints
  • Vocabulary Games
  • Recorded Speaking Assignments
  • Quick Writing Tasks
  • Smart Quizzes
  • Interactive Videos
  • Community Challenges


NO TIME is wasted on memorizing grammar rules you'll never use, and NO TIME is spent looking through endless flashcards or listening to outdated CD recordings.

Imagine having access to several of these online courses and weekly small group lessons all at once for as long as you need them.

Gain English fluency by learning from natural English spoken in context. Listen first, break it down, learn the fluency concept, and apply it.

Consistent, short and effective practice is key!

Are we right for YOU? Schedule your FREE call!

You shouldn't have to buy lots of courses, textbooks, and tutoring hours to reach English fluency.

Yes, hours of practice are necessary to become fluent. BUT, memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules is not an effective way to reach English fluency.

You can use English like a native if you have the right strategy.

That's why we built Fluency Fast Track -- to give you everything you need to finally reach English fluency (at an affordable price).

With the right tools, sufficient practice, live opportunities, and an efficient study/practice plan, you will be on your way.

Ready to get onto the fast track to English fluency? We can't wait to see you there!

Learning Program Courses & Challenges

Everyone works through a speaking challenge together every month, but you only work on the assignments and courses
YOU NEED to improve YOUR English.

Fluency Fast Track Phases

We have designed our courses to progress along the English language learners' path. From initial assessment to correcting weaknesses to building new English skills to refining your abilities, you will always know what to do next instead of drifting aimlessly through tons of content.

Phase 0
Phase 1
Phase 2
Phase 3
Phase 4
Phase 5
Onboarding and Assessment

Take our in-depth assessment to figure out exactly where your English is! Meet with one of us for a conversation evaluation, review your results, set a measurable goal, and create an action plan (your Fluency Roadmap).
Warming Up

Take your new plan for a test drive! Use this phase to set a solid study habit, learn the ropes of FFT, and learn how to participate in American Small Talk culture.
Strengthen Your Foundation

Now for the real work! Phase 2 is all about hammering out intermediate weak points and setting better habits. Return to those areas you breezed over the first time in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
Build on Your Foundation

Gain advanced comprehension and grammar skills as well as real-world vocabulary and knowledge for navigating life in America.
Use It or Lose It!

Phase 4 is about testing your mettle! Apply advanced comprehension strategies, grammar, and vocabulary to native material to fill out your cultural understanding and build out your vocabulary network.
Refine Your Skills

This phase is the long haul! Discuss and engage with native material from various disciplines, regional accents, and contexts to push your English beyond its limits. Learn vocabulary and idioms to depths you've yet to reach!

Is FFT right for me?

Fluency Fast Track is NOT for everyone. Membership is for motivated high-intermediate and advanced English language learners who are ready to take action to improve their English for fluency.


If you want to become fluent in English in a few weeks, Fluency Fast Track is not for you. As a member, you will learn real American English in various nuances and contexts efficiently and effectively. BUT it is going to be hard work, and it is not going to happen in a couple of weeks.


Are you looking for real American English spoken at a natural speed with exercises to ensure you comprehend the meaning well? Then Fluency Fast Track is designed for you!


What will I learn?

Fluency Fast Track is about exercising the English you know now, strengthening your weaknesses, giving you a new strategy for learning English, and helping you practice real English as you reach for fluency.


Each Fluency Concept is a step toward fluency. You will achieve some of the following:

  • Use English verb tenses and moods comfortably
  • Understand and use minor sentences in speaking
  • Know lots of English idioms and when to use them
  • Use acceptable English
  • Understand how to read the situational context
  • Comprehend reading material with the same strategies native speakers use
  • Learn new English like an advanced speaker
  • Listen to natural English easily
  • Speak the way we speak
  • Know the difference between proper and spoken grammar -- and use it well!

How much does it cost to join?

Fluency Fast Track is a high-touch membership coaching program designed to make you grow efficiently, without overwhelming you with extras you don't need.


We spend hours on each student every week grading, logging feedback, creating custom exercises, answering questions, and meeting online. So, to ensure each student gets our best, we only allow 15 students in FFT at the same time.


Price comes down to the package you choose (with private tutoring or without). To find out if FFT is right for you, sign up for a FREE call.

How long will it take?

We build your fluency plan in 6-month blocks. After completing the first 6 months, you may switch to a monthly subscription that you can cancel at any time or pay for the next 6 months at a discount.


Honestly, the time it will take for you to reach your desired level of fluency depends entirely on you and the time you pour into live discussions, assignments, and exercises. However, we have done the work to ensure you are not wasting your precious time learning old grammar rules or words we hardly use.


We do not want you to stay forever -- we want you to finish the Fluency Concepts, practice real English, think like a native English speaker, and graduate Fluency Fast Track as quickly as possible.


We love our students, but we want to see them reach their English goals so that they don't need us anymore as teachers (we'd love to stay in touch as friends!).


So, you do not have to stay for a long time, and you can cancel your membership at any time. Just send us an email at amber@waiguofriendsenglish.com, and we will help you out. After you cancel, you will continue to have access until the end of the period you paid for.

I am not a high-intermediate English speaker yet....is it too early for me to join?

Well, that depends on you. Are you willing to spend more time on the foundation lessons before moving into the more complex ones?


Our foundational lessons begin at an intermediate level but quickly progress to high-intermediate and low-advanced. This design ensures students have a solid intermediate foundation before learning advanced and fluent material.


However, if you struggle to understand this answer to your question, Fluency Fast Track is probably not right for you yet. We don't want you to feel frustrated and overwhelmed at the level of English we use. Once our free resources at waiguofriendsenglish.com and the WaiGuo Friends English YouTube channel are relatively easy to understand, you will be ready to join Fluency Fast Track. We hope to see you around!

Is FFT only for high-intermediates? I am an advanced English speaker.

Fluency Fast Track is a high-touch coaching program loaded with live practices, challenges, lessons, exercises, and practices for advanced English speakers!


You will gain valuable insights into your own English and contextually appropriate idioms, phrases, and spoken grammar.


If you are a high-advanced English speaker who only struggles with the occasional mispronunciation or misunderstanding, then consider our 1-on-1 tutoring services instead.

Will the price increase over time?

Yes. As we add more content, class times, and classes, the price will increase to cover our expenses. However, by joining now, you will lock in a lower price for as long as you are a member! Rest assured -- as long as you are a member, we will not raise your rate.

How do I join FFT?

First, sign up for a FREE time to speak with one of us. We will ask a few questions to get to know you, your goals, and your situation to determine whether FFT is a good fit for you.

What happens after I join FFT?

If FFT is a good fit for you, and you want to join, we will get you ready for onboarding and your English assessment.

The program starts on the first Monday of the month, but you will be able to attend Office Hours and Hangouts, meet with us, and access FFT's library and exclusive podcast before the official start date.

In Month 1, you will attend Orientation classes with your peers, take a detailed English assessment course, meet with one of us privately, and complete Phase 1's 14-Day Speaking Challenge and short Study Efficiency course. We will set up your study tools, discuss your goals, and create your personalized Fluency Roadmap.

In Month 2, the real work begins!
