🎓 Back to School: Why Your English Isn’t Working – Even Though You’re “Doing Everything Right”
September is like a second New Year – fresh goals, new courses, big plans.
And yet, many learners find themselves facing the same frustration:
“I’m studying, reviewing, doing exercises… but I still can’t say what I really want. What am I doing wrong?”
The answer might surprise you: you’re doing too much of the wrong things.
So how do you start fresh this autumn with habits that actually work?
Start by downloading our free guide and hit the reset button on your English 👇
Here are 3 key mistakes that block real language progress – and what to do instead:
Mistake #1: Focusing on materials instead of real communication
It’s not about how much you read or listen to. It’s about how often you open your mouth and speak.
➡️ At Couch English, you start speaking from day one – and always in real-life contexts: talking to a client, handling a difficult meeting, making small talk in the elevator.
Mistake #2: Memorizing words you’ll never actually use
That list of 30 advanced idioms might look impressive – but will you ever say them out loud?
➡️ We teach the language you actually need, tailored to your work, life, and goals. No wasted time, no fluff.
Mistake #3: Waiting for the “perfect moment” to speak confidently
That moment won’t come on its own – you have to create it.
➡️ In our courses, you learn through experience: roleplays, targeted feedback, and supportive coaching. You speak, even if you’re nervous – and the fear fades with every session.
This September doesn’t have to be “just another try.”
It could be the moment your English finally starts working the way you need it to.
Check out our upcoming courses and join a group that matches your real-life needs – not just your level.
