This page is my lesson handout — coach me through it one stage at a time (①–④) in American English. I turn the pages, so when a stage is done don't jump to the next one on your own — wait for me to turn the page. Speak at a natural, unhurried pace (B1); stay in English and push fluency. Lots of speaking with instant pronunciation & grammar feedback. No filler — just start stage ①.
