Hello, everybody.
Welcome back to the Let's Master English podcast.
But this is a completely different version of the podcast.
I'm actually making a video and there is no news.
Country Shane is busy.
It's the holiday season.
Uh, not going to really talk about birthdays and stuff, and there's not going to be a music version.
I apologize.
Don't worry.
We'll get back into the full on let's master English podcast in 2026.
This is the end of 2025.
It is Sunday night, December 28th, 8 PM.
Um, 801, finishing up the year is what we're doing.
I'm already working on 2026, the lessons.
My team is working very hard too.
And yeah, I know many of you are excited about starting the new year with new lessons.
So I wanted to say Happy New Year to everybody.
I know for some people, the start of a new year is really cool and really exciting.
And for others, it's like, whatever.
It's just another day.
So for me, starting a new year is exciting.
Starting a new month is always exciting to me.
Starting a new year is I'm looking forward.
I'm looking forward to 2026.
I want to grow our community.
That's my biggest goal for 2026 right now.
And I'm showing you on the screen.
We have three thousand three hundred members in our community now.
Do you think we could get to 10,000 in 2026?
That would be so cool.
It's free.
It's free.
You can see the URL is school.com slash LME.
That's it.
It's really simple.
Can you see that?
SKOOL.com slash LME.
Please tell your friends, anybody interested in English, to join.
But I want to talk about what is our community.
It's a place where mostly people outside of the United States who are interested in English come to play, come to hang out, come to talk, come to learn, come to share.
It's really an amazing community.
We have members from basically every country in the world.
We're all over the place.
We have lots of live events, live classes.
I'm going to show you the calendar here so you can actually join us and talk and ask questions.
This is our calendar.
This is December.
If you look at the calendar, you'll see that some, these are all live events.
All of these are live events every day, right?
You will see that some of these live events have pictures, right?
If you see a picture, you can join that live event, even if you're not a paying member.
If you're a paying member, depending on your membership, you can join all of them.
AMA, these are ask me anything questions.
They're basically one-to-one.
You have a question, me or one of the other coaches will answer your question.
We like to focus on pronunciation, but other questions are possible too.
You'll see something with a globe, right?
This is LME Friends.
This is a chit chat.
This is where people just get together and talk about anything.
They learn, laugh, and love together.
Seriously.
This right here that you see these books, this is a book club.
Coach Mila hosts a book club.
It's free.
Right now they're talking about don't sweat the small stuff.
Every week they get together and they talk about this book.
They learn about this book.
Right here you see this speaker icon, a guy speaking.
This is a speaking class.
And you can join it for free.
And people get together and they practice an assignment.
They learn.
They ask questions.
It's amazing.
You see this flame?
This flame is LME Navi.
That's a live class where you can find out what our community is.
You can find out what you should be doing.
You can ask questions about the community, about English, about learning, about each other.
It's a fantastic community.
And these little weird ones here, I have them like Christmas tree.
These are live classes with me.
And we usually go an hour, sometimes two hours.
I answer questions, whatever people want to know.
Looking at the calendar right now, I will have – so you see this here?
This is actually me.
These are – by the way, these live classes –
All you have to do is click on the time and it shows you a link.
Again, all you have to do is click on this link and it takes you to the live room.
It's a very simple process.
So today is December 28th and these times are all New York.
If you log in in your country, it will show your country time.
Okay, so don't worry.
So New York.
At 9 p.m., there is a live class.
Who's it with?
It's with Coach Vinny.
Hi, everyone.
Coach Vinny, if you watch this, fix your everyone.
It's not everyone.
It's everyone.
I make these mistakes, too.
But he's hosting a one on one class where you can ask your questions and get answers.
That's tonight in less than an hour.
Tomorrow we've got AMAs.
Personally, me, I will be adding to this schedule.
And you'll see so right now.
You see three on the 30th, three on the 31st, two on the 1st, three on the 2nd.
For sure, I will be doing a live New Year's Day event.
And most likely on the 2nd, I will also do a live event.
And probably on New Year's Eve my time.
New Year's Eve in Asia, that would be New Year's Day.
I will do a live event too.
And I hope you come.
Once again, you'll see it here.
There'll be a picture.
I need to find some sort of New Year's icon.
And you'll see it.
You can click on it and you can join me.
And I really hope to see you.
So this is one thing, live classes.
We have a classroom too.
And a lot of these classes are free.
Start here.
I want everybody to start there.
Try for free.
You can try some lessons for free.
We got pronunciation with Coach Shane.
Fix your pronunciation.
So we have lots of different.
If you click on this, you'll see T-H sound, L-N-B-V.
Lots of different.
The 24 American vowels.
The seven T pronunciations.
Stop sounds.
This is for Chinese students.
Sometimes they add an R to their pronunciation, so we take care of that.
What else is in the classroom?
Oh, this is wisdom for learning English.
And this is free, of course.
Easily learn and remember more vocabulary.
This is such an important lesson.
It's a video.
You need 743 words to understand 90% of friends. the Friends TV show.
So we talk about these words and things that you need to know.
The eight steps to mastering English, and this is for adults.
LME course recommendations.
It's Mox's recommendation.
The seven T's.
I got to move that.
That's in the wrong place.
I love this.
This is from Coach Mila highlighted this.
You can't start speaking without what?
Check it out.
How to practice speaking.
Yeah, it's amazing.
So this is the classroom.
It continues.
We have an LME speaking course and an LME listening course.
You can sign up for these.
You get both for $7 a month.
Okay, as of right now, as of the end of December 2025, it's $7 a month.
The price will go up.
But right now, it's $7 a month, and if you join, it will never change.
And in a year, you get 125 lessons.
It's amazing.
It's self-study, but you can upgrade to AMA.
Oops.
AMAs right here.
Now some of the AMAs are free, but we do have an upgrade to get all of the AMAs one-on-one coaching.
We have English Camp.
This is so great.
Every not every, but on Sundays, Sunday morning it's my time we do live classes and we do speaking and we do listening classes.
So today, this morning, I had a live class, and we did speaking.
We learned so much.
It's amazing.
Next week, we'll do a listening class.
In the English camp, for listening, we do a lot of the TV show Friends.
Now, whether you like Friends or not, it doesn't matter.
It is an excellent show to study.
Why?
Because the English they use in Friends is actually usable for everybody, for every age range.
It's actually very, very usable.
So in a year, I do at least 35 live lessons a year, and I think it's like $500 for the entire year.
Our eight-week speaking course.
This is a tremendous course.
If you need to improve your speaking, especially pronunciation fast, this is probably the best course that we have.
It's very intensive.
It's eight weeks.
Don't worry.
You can do it nine weeks or ten weeks.
We're flexible.
But it's amazing.
You get feedback on all your lessons.
It's great.
We have Perfresh.
It's 25 lessons, and you get feedback on every single one of your lessons.
Of course, AMA.
You get AMA, too.
So not only do we tell you what your problems are, you're going to have a chance to fix them.
This is a fantastic course.
I think the price is $350 for six months, 25 weeks.
You can do it much cheaper.
It's the same course, but you only get one feedback.
But then you can join some of the AMA classes.
And it's $49.
I think it's $49.
And you get the same 25 lessons per fresh.
These are all speaking lessons.
We have DDM Fresh.
And you actually get 26 lessons.
The first 26 lessons of DDM, they're all listening.
This is an excellent place to start if you want to improve your listening skills.
There are 26 lessons, the first 26 lessons, and the price, again, is $49.
You can study all of them in one day if you want.
I don't care.
It's up to you.
We have DDM Elite.
This is a very small group of students.
It's very expensive, but we have four live classes a month.
DDM Elite members also get all the benefits of DDM VIP.
I'll talk about that in a second.
Action English.
This is with Coach Clive and Coach Richard.
It's kind of a free talking class.
They present a subject, and you talk about it.
It's for high-level people.
The Let's Master English podcast, that's this.
Normally, the Let's Master English podcast is different, but you can find them all right here.
We have videos.
If you have children, we have videos for kids.
Yeah, it's fantastic.
We've got Land Before Time.
This is about dinosaurs.
Children love this.
We've got Johnny Quest.
This is an adventure series.
It's really exciting.

Everything planes, trains and automobiles, groundhog day, forrest gump, die hard, the breakfast club, high fidelity, they live inception karate kid, throne of blood my goodness, it's amazing stuff.
We really do have amazing stuff.
Uh seinfeld, this is what we study in ddm vip.
Very difficult, but in my opinion, it's the best English TV show to study in order to master English.
Recreating Seinfeld, this is our members, led by Serge.
We should start calling him Coach Serge.
And they remake Seinfeld, the students.
It's tremendous.
Curb Your Enthusiasm, a fantastic TV show.
If Seinfeld is easy for you, this is the next level.
Mind Your Language.
This is a gift to everybody.
It's a British sitcom about people who study English.
It's very funny.
We have friends, all of it.
And it's all in English.
And, like I said, this is the absolute best TV show to start with to build your listening skills and American English understanding.
We got books, audio books, e-books, video, entrances and exits.
We've got Never Split the Difference.
Small Brevity, The Shining Little Match Girl, The Catcher in the Rye.
We've got so many excellent books that you can enjoy.
Audio, e-books, and video.
We've got documentaries.
We're just kind of starting this.
The Great Hack, The Last Soviet.
This is actually really good.
Anyway.
And then finally, this is brand new.

Is it on Netflix?
I think it's on Netflix.
Look at that.
We got seasons one, two, three, four.

That's the classroom.
There's so many different things.

All of these are excellent.
The calendar for Perth classes, again, you can see that we have so many live classes.
All PERF members and DDM members can also join all of the AMA classes.
So actually, the live class schedule you have is massive.
It's huge.
Different times of the day, every day of the week.
It's fantastic.
Again, if you go to the lessons, you'll see right now we just finished DDM 456.

Right now, because we just started the $7.
I think we have the same number of students who pay $7 a month.
It's the same number of students who pay $1,000 a month.
It's not that many, because we just started.
I think we have about 10 people paying 7 a month and we have, I think, a little bit more than 10 people paying 1000 a month.
It's crazy, right?
Do not join.
It's executive English.
It's 24-7, 365, phone numbers.
