For English learners who already know 'give up' and 'look after'

You're in a conversation, understanding everything, and suddenly the native speaker uses a phrasal verb and you miss the meaning completely.
Conversations, series and podcasts are full of advanced phrasal verbs like 'come down with', 'mull over', 'splash out', 'pull off' and 'wade through'.
They're difficult to understand and they're difficult to learn! But they are absolutely critical for high-level English.
1: They are confusing! 'Give up' ,'give in', 'give away', 'give back'. It's really difficult to keep all the different meanings separate.
2: The meanings aren't logical at all. If you translate each part, it doesn't help. Sometimes it's even hard to find the meaning in the dictionary!
3: There are thousands of them. And many are regional, slang or even rude. How do you know which ones to study?
4: They are difficult to memorise. It feels like you have to spend years learning them by heart, repeating them again and again and again.
5: You can avoid them (at lower levels). It's often easier to choose the formal word and say 'discover' instead of 'find out', so you never really master them. But they are 100% necessary to reach advanced levels.
But, I promise you, phrasal verbs don't feel hard because they're impossible.
Instead, it's because they need a bit of focused attention, which usually we don't give them.
And they also need a few serious learning techniques to make them stay separate and stay in your memory.
The good news is that it really doesn't take much to make this happen.
They're not difficult to understand once you have clear explanations.
They're not difficult to remember once you have a proper review plan.
In one month, imagine if you could:
1: Understand fast, natural speech more easily
You’ll understand far more of the phrasal verbs that native speakers use constantly in conversations, series and films.
2: Hesitate less when you speak
You’ll use our phrasal verbs naturally and confidently in conversations or meetings, without translating or freezing.
3: Feel like a serious English speaker, not a tourist
You’ll sound more fluent and confident when you speak in meetings, give presentations or have fast conversations.
4: Get closer to native-level English
You’ll have a deep and automatic knowledge of phrasal verbs that will help you pass your exam, get a new job, or live abroad.
I made this challenge for upper-intermediate and advanced learners who want to understand and use the phrasal verbs that we use daily in real English.
You already know the basic phrasal verbs (like ‘look up’ and ‘give up’), and now you want to go further.
Over 30 days, you’ll learn 150 very useful advanced phrasal verbs (things like ‘mull over’, ‘butter up’, and ‘splash out’) through daily practice, in just 15 minutes a day.
Every day follows the same simple pattern. You watch a short, clear video where I teach you five new phrasal verbs, then do an exercise immediately while you still remember them.
After that, you return for the spaced reviews: the following day, five days later, and once more at the end of the course.
Each review shows you the phrasal verbs again at exactly the moment your brain needs to see them, so they stay in your memory.
“The reviewing is really useful. I realised that I am actually able to use the phrasal verbs when speaking and writing. They just keep coming to my mind.”
“Finally I understand how to use them and managed to remember them.”
“The game changer was your Anki deck. Without it I would not remember most of them.”
Hi, I'm Seonaid Beckwith.
I'm a British native speaker with a Master's degree (MPhil) from Cambridge University in English and Linguistics. Together with the Perfect English Grammar team, I've helped tens of millions of students improve their grammar.
I've been teaching English for many years, and I'm passionate about finding better ways to explain grammar - ways that actually make sense and are backed by research.
I created this challenge because most phrasal verb courses don't help you remember what you learn. This one uses carefully planned review and spaced repetition so the phrasal verbs actually stay in your memory.

“My speech is richer because I know lots of phrasal verbs and, very important, I know how to use them. I feel more confident in meetings at work.”
“Awesome results. My US clients are bowled over by my improvement. Using these verbs has made our conversations more natural.”
“I have conversations with native speakers every week and they gave me a lot of compliments about how I often use phrasal verbs speaking.”
“I’ve started using these phrasal verbs and my conversation took a higher level, especially with my UK colleagues.”
“I run my own business and your course definitely helps me sound more confident and natural in English.”

Along with the Phrasal Verbs Challenge, you also get this bonus - absolutely free.
“I want to understand native speakers.” This is how you do it.
Normally only available inside our membership.
This is a complete 30-day challenge, separate from the Phrasal Verbs Challenge, designed to train your ear to understand real, fast, native English.
Every day for 30 days, you listen to a real conversation between Seonaid and another native English speaker. Not slowed down, not simplified. Then you work through a full transcript and a short dictation exercise that is incredibly effective at improving your listening.
Separate the words in fast speech, instead of hearing one long noise.
Understand connected speech. The shorter words, dropped syllables, and different sounds native speakers use when talking quickly.
Recognise slang and everyday expressions that don’t appear in textbooks.
Catch the filler sounds (uhh, um, er, right, you know) that native speakers use constantly.
“I have been watching movies for five months with English subtitles. But after the course, I don’t feel to check what’s written in the subtitles.”
“It is really a well planned course. Apart from listening, it also improved my speaking and writing.”
“This course is great! In the last few days I’ve realised that I have more confidence and fluency in my English.”
