The Missing Link
There’s a moment when it hits you:
It’s not more lessons you need.
It’s not more grammar drills, more app streaks, or another textbook chapter.
It’s conversation coaching.
That’s the missing link between what you know in English — and what you can actually use with confidence, across real life and your creative career.
Why conversation matters
1:1 coaching gives you something no lesson, app, or self-study method ever can:
A live, responsive space to practise being yourself in English.
Not just answering questions or rehearsing dialogues, but speaking freely, confidently, and with clarity.
It’s not just about building vocabulary.
It’s about building the muscle that lets you access what you already know in the moment you need it.
And getting help building the patterns, finding the right path – and above all, immediately weeding out errors.
But isn’t conversation practice enough?
Conversation practice is brilliant. It builds fluency, confidence, and the ability to go with the flow.
But without guidance, it can also do two dangerous things:
-
Ingrain mistakes (because no one is gently correcting or rephrasing you),
-
And worse — build fear, if you’re constantly guessing and hoping you’re saying things right.
That’s where coaching comes in.
It’s not just more speaking — it’s smarter, safer, more targeted speaking.
What if I’m not surrounded by English?
If you live in an English-speaking country, great.
You can build on your real-world encounters with lessons, grammar work, or Duolingo
But if you’re not surrounded by English, lessons and apps will only get you so far.
You need fresh, real language:
→ books
→ podcasts
→ conversation clubs
→ workshops…
Ideally something you can take part in.
But even passive exposure to authentic, interesting content helps.
It keeps your ears sharp and your motivation alive.
Word Drop helps shift your English from classroom to fit-for-life — one word at a time.
What if I’m not ready for 1:1 coaching?
If you’re not quite ready for full coaching — whether because of time, money, or confidence —
that’s okay.
That’s exactly why we created Word Drop.
