The speaker, Maddie from POC English, discusses how to improve English language skills effectively. She emphasizes the importance of grammar and vocabulary as the foundation of the four main skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. To learn English, one must study grammar and vocabulary simultaneously, and a good online course should provide a topic-based approach, exercises, quizzes, and teacher support. Maddie introduces her online English course, which offers three levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced), with a focus on grammar, vocabulary, and a topic-based approach. The course is self-study and self-paced but includes direct teacher support through email and potential live webinars. She also offers a free placement test, a 7-day refund policy, and a 40% discount for her YouTube subscribers.
