Our take

Based on the ratings of 5,830 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in November 2019. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a 15-hour English speaking course built around everyday situations. The syllabus runs through 30 short sections on topics like ordering in a restaurant, booking a hotel, meetings, writing emails, giving a presentation and debating, with tricky tenses and quantifiers mixed in. Luke Priddy teaches American English, and the description promises an assignment in each section. It is aimed at learners who already have the basics and want to sound more natural, not at absolute beginners. Native speakers are told to skip it.

Reviewers keep coming back to how easy he is to follow. People mention simple words, a clear voice, a speed that suits learners, and examples in every lesson. Several reviews are written in Portuguese and Spanish. The complaints are mild. One three star reviewer found it a bit basic and wished it went further, and another wanted more feedback on the work they submit. The course has no quizzes, and the assignments need you to record yourself.

The course was last updated in November 2019, so some phrasing may feel dated. That matters less for grammar and travel English than it would for a technical topic. With about 29,000 students and a 4.7 rating from more than 5,800 reviews, it has a solid track record, and fewer than 150 of those ratings are one or two stars. It suits steady daily practice. If you are past the intermediate stage, look for something more demanding.

Best forIntermediate learners who want clear, easy-to-follow American English for hotels, meetings, restaurants and emails.
Skip it ifYou are already advanced and want fast, demanding material, or you need a tutor who marks every recording.

Pros

  • Simple vocabulary and a clear, steady voice that reviewers find easy to follow
  • Practical scenarios: hotels, restaurants, meetings, emails, presentations and debates
  • Short lessons in 30 sections, easy to fit into a daily routine
  • Reviewers say the instructor answers questions and explains with examples

Cons

  • Last updated in 2019, so some phrasing and examples may feel dated
  • One reviewer found it too basic and wanted more advanced material
  • No quizzes, and one reviewer wanted more feedback on their assignments
He doesn't use difficult words so i can follow and understand better what he says.
Gracia Ormskirk, a student

Intermediate learners fit best. One reviewer says it works up to intermediate and wished for more advanced material.

Course Description

Hi. I'm Luke!

If your goal is to become fluent in English, this is the course to take. I've been working on the lessons in this English course for over 10 years, and have seen them help many students master the key skills they need to really understand how to use English at a high level. This course contains everything you need to start using the English language naturally, and feel confident in your English skills. The course will guide you step-by-step. Also, each lesson is filled with natural English examples, which is the best way to learn. 

Each section of the course includes an assignment so that you can practice everything you learn. This is really essential! Input is great, but if you're not using the English language as you learn, it won't stick. The course starts out with an intensive focus on how to describe things clearly in English. Explore the examples other students have made (along with my feedback) in addition to adding your own.

Also, if you need help along the way, just ask in the Q&A. I'm here with you on your English learning journey!

Some of the things you will learn in this course include:

  • Essential English grammar, including difficult tenses, quantifiers, and more

  • English used in common social situations, like inviting, giving advice, talking about movies, etc.

  • English skills necessary for descriptions, comparisons, explanations, etc.

  • Assignments for each section to practice what you learn and gain confidence

  • Pointers on specifically American English phrasing and language usage

  • Common English idioms and expressions for handling travel situations in English

  • Hundreds of native vocabulary and expressions needed for fluent conversation

  • English knowledge for challenging things, like writing emails, giving presentations, and debating, etc.

  • Practice exercises to help you start thinking in English and improve your English speaking habits

  • Much more!

By Mariam Al Ethawy on 2/12/2026

It's a good course for beginners to intermediate speakers. I wish it were a little more advanced. I still learned, though. Thank you

By Anonymized User on 10/6/2025

There were so many lectures in this program. There were so many opportunity to listen to English. Any explanations from the teacher were easily audible, clear voice, pronunciation and speed. At the end of the program, I understood to improve my listening skills. That was the good opportunity, absolutely!

By Sara Patricia Ruiz on 10/7/2024

Estoy satisfecha con el curso hasta el momento. He aprendido varios temas y otros los he reforzado. Me gustaría seguir recibiendo comentarios del trabajo que voy realizando y así estar motivada para continuar con el curso hasta el final. El profesor Luke es muy metódico y sus explicaciones son claras y con ejemplos. Agradezco su disposición para responder los mensajes.

By Kutay Ecevit on 1/8/2022

I hesitated to purchase this course and think that it will be inadequate and may be a little easy for my level. (I am upper intermediate but not on the conversational level that I want to be.) When I go through the course, I came across lots of different assessments which makes the course very interactive and as you progress you re-do the assessments and get the most of it. Luke really invested lots of time and effort and I believe it is worth every money that you pay for it.

By MD TX on 2/14/2021

I highly recommend this English course for everyone who wishes to improve English. I really enjoyed the class, and my English has been improved. The way I use this lecture is by shadowing immediately what Luke said in the class. For now, I have been learned this course three times. I think his English pronunciation is the most suitable to learn American English. I will continue to watch this course until I can speak English as Luke does in the course completely. Thank you, Luke!

By Zefie Chatzopoulou on 12/6/2020

This course is simply amazing and very clear with a lot of examples.It's exactly what i was looking for and i am so glad i bought it. It is really obvious that Luke has put a lot of work into it and his energy is the same from the begining to the end. Each and every topic is interesting and you never get bored actually. Thank you so much Luke!

By Hugo Alexandre Lima de Almeida on 11/14/2020

Luke is a great teacher. I'm enjoying the course a lot. For several years I spoke some English as a foreign language and consider my level upper intermediate, but it's missing something. Watching him gives me the confidence to achieve the progress I aim. He speaks with precise pronunciation and mouth articulation in a pace that respects who is on learning mode. Sure, we'll make an excellent job thriving to the next level of my skills on English!

By Hoomat Baghkhasti on 11/14/2020

His way of explanation is wonderful and this course totally looks like a class. I really enjoy it so far.
