Introducing English Enjoyed Extra
Don’t settle for ordinary English. Make it Extraordinary.
Dearest reader,
Over the last few years, more than a few of you have said some version of:
‘I love your videos… I just wish there were more of them, and that they were all in one place.’
You also said something else:
‘Please don’t give me a huge, overwhelming course I’ll feel guilty about not finishing.’
So I’ve decided to do something in between.
In English, the word ordinary means ‘normal’ or ‘average’. But when you add a little Extra to the front of it, the meaning changes completely.
English Enjoyed Extra is the new members-only section of this publication designed to transform your English from ordinary to extraordinary.
Think of this as the ‘Director’s Cut’ of my lessons. Instead of a big, intimidating programme, it’s a small weekly ritual for people who enjoy their English as much as their novels.
Each week inside Extra, you’ll get
2 members-only publications
Programme notes and light quizzes with every lesson
So you don’t just watch—you actually remember and can use what you’ve learnt.
A focus on elegant grammar, vocabulary, and formal expressions
The sort of English experience that feels as if Netflix and Duolingo had a baby.
You’ll also get a new episode of:
A Murder of Mistakes
This is my murder-mystery series that quietly teaches you English through 40 episodes—not lessons. A classic whodunnit, set in a rather splendid house and a rather dubious social circle.
Each instalment comes with notes and a short quiz to see what you’ve spotted.
All of this will arrive where you’re reading this now: in your inbox (or in the Substack app if you prefer).
Coming soon…
I shall soon be adding my entire audio narration of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens.
59 Chapters
Over 20 hours of listening
With obscure, archaic vocabulary and definitions selected for you (the kind that textbooks don’t teach!)
A Murder of Mistakes gives you a modern mystery. Great Expectations gives you a timeless one.
What about the free emails?
Those stay.
You’ll still receive:
The occasional publication,
plus updates about books, live events, and other projects.
English Enjoyed Extra is simply for those of you who would like more structure, more episodes, and gentle accountability, without anything too heavy.
How the membership works
The pricing is currently set to the introductory rate of:
£4 per month,

For anyone feeling particularly generous, there’s also a special Patron of the Arts rate which directly supports more writing, filming, and editing for the Extra content.

If you’ve ever wished for a way to keep your English moving forwards—a little more polished, a little more precise, and occasionally a little more outrageous—I’d love to welcome you inside.
Thank you, as always, for reading.
