Best British English guide ever

I have used the first edition of Teacher Tom's book since 2020 and I can say this guide is second to none when it comes to British English. So whether you're moving to the UK, already live there or you’re passionate about British culture, accents and slang, look no further. The course videos are the perfect complement to the second edition and you can keep the e-book always in hand in your mobile. Get everything wrapped with Teacher Tom's deep knowledge, professional style and, above all, lots of humour added to it.

I'm loving this course and the book!

I got these two last week, and I've been loving them!
I'm only a few lessons in, but I've learned so much, even though I've been living here for nearly seven years! And the book is so cool, the section "What Brits Say and What They Actually Mean" has me in tears, so accurate and after so many years here, I catch myself saying sorry way too much 😂
