Recommended courses for upper intermediate / advanced:
Luca Lampariello’s Become a Master Language Learner (Level 2) “Overcoming the Intermediate Plateau” is my top recommended general methods training course.
Olly Richard’s “Uncovered” upper intermediate courses are a great launchpad for the journey to advanced. Available in a range of popular languages. The golden thread running through each course is an enticing story, which keeps you engaged from unit to unit and helps you to absorb the language without realising it. He calls it “StoryLearning”. Here are the links to the courses:
=> Spanish Uncovered (Intermediate)
=> German Uncovered (Intermediate)
=> French Uncovered (Intermediate)
=> Italian Uncovered (Intermediate)
=> Japanese Uncovered (Intermediate)
I’m proud to partner with Luca and Olly and if you sign up for one of their courses using my link, a small commission will help my work here at Howtogetfluent.com (at no extra cost to you).
