Sound native, not translated.
Clear English Studio is an independent studio making practical language-learning products for adults: study materials you download once and keep, and one subscription tracker with new content every day.
Store status: Our store is reopening on a new payment platform — checkout opens as soon as our provider finishes its review. Everything below is our current catalog with final prices.
The studio's editing, shown as an example: “Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further assistance” becomes “Just let me know if you need anything else.”
This edit is Sound Native at work — 60 prompts that teach you to make it yourself.
A prompt pack — a print-ready PDF plus a copy-paste edition, with a working example for every prompt — that polishes workplace English: emails, reports, and applications.
Free sample: a 10-prompt sample is available before buying.

Email supportSixty prompts you paste into your chatbot together with your own draft. Each one teaches a single editing move — cutting padding, choosing the verb a native would choose, fixing a sentence's rhythm — and shows a worked example first, so you learn the move instead of just receiving a correction.
Checkout opens when our payment review finishes — this list hears first.
Prompt 14 — Cut the padding
Rewrite the draft below. Remove every phrase that only sounds formal — throat-clearing openers, hedges, and words that repeat a meaning already there. Keep my facts and my meaning exactly. Then list what you cut, one line each, and why.
A real draft, before
“Please be advised that your application has been successfully received by our office and is currently being processed.”
After the prompt
That is the whole method: the prompt does the edit, and the cut list teaches you to spot the padding yourself next time.
Prompt 31 — Say who is acting
English hides the actor when a writer wants to sound official: “It was decided that the deadline would be extended.” A native puts the actor back: “We've extended the deadline.” Shorter, warmer, and nobody has to guess who decided.
Why it works: readers trust sentences with people in them. Every prompt in the pack follows this shape — the move, why it works, a worked example — before you run it on your own draft.
One purchase covers one person's use, and past buyers receive improved editions at no extra charge.
The prompts work with the chatbot you already use — nothing to install.
A self-contained offline web app for the Spanish people actually speak — the idioms, fixed phrases, and everyday shortcuts textbooks skip. Flashcards, quizzes, 33 short readings with a retelling exercise, and spaced review, all in one file that runs in any modern browser.
Checkout opens when our payment review finishes — this list hears first.
Every idiom in the app arrives like this — the phrase, what it literally says, what it really means, and a sentence you might actually hear — then spaced review brings it back until it sticks.
Lectura 7 — En el mercado
El sábado por la mañana, el mercado está hasta arriba. Lucía regatea el precio de los tomates —«¿A dos euros el kilo?»— y el vendedor sonríe: «Para ti, guapa, te lo dejo a uno cincuenta».
Retell it: ¿Qué compra Lucía? ¿Cuánto paga al final? ¿Por qué sonríe el vendedor?
On Saturday morning, the market is packed. Lucía haggles over the price of the tomatoes — “Two euros a kilo?” — and the seller smiles: “For you, love, I'll let you have them for one fifty.”
Estar hasta arriba — literally “to be up to the top” — is how you say a place is packed. It is one of the 61.
It runs in any modern browser — no account, and no internet needed after download.
Download once and keep it; improved editions go to past buyers at no extra charge.

Q1On which day does the photography class now meet?
Correct. And notice the trap: the old leaflet said Tuesday. Listening tests plant the wrong answer first, then correct it — the book trains you to wait for the correction.
Not quite. Tuesday is what the old leaflet printed. The speaker corrects it: the class now meets on Thursday evenings.
Q2Where should people sign up for a class?
Correct. The talk ends: “please sign up at the front desk before Friday.” Final sentences carry answers surprisingly often.
Listen once more to the ending. Sign-up is at the front desk, before Friday — neither the website nor the phone is mentioned.
“Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Riverside Community Centre. Before we begin the tour, let me tell you about two new classes starting next month. First, our photography class now meets on Thursday evenings at half past six — not on Tuesdays, as printed in the old leaflet. Second, the beginners' swimming group has moved to the small pool, and its sessions run from eight until nine on Saturday mornings. If you would like to join either class, please sign up at the front desk before Friday.”
Reading Test 2 · Passage 1
“The city library's new night opening hours, introduced in March, were expected to draw mainly students. In practice, the largest group after 8 p.m. turned out to be shift workers, many of whom used the reading rooms between jobs.”
Question: The night hours were introduced mainly for shift workers. — TRUE / FALSE / NOT GIVEN
Answer: FALSE. The passage says the hours “were expected to draw mainly students”. Shift workers were the largest group in practice, not the intended audience. The trap is swapping expected for intended — every explanation in the book names the trap, not just the answer.

A seven-sheet spreadsheet workbook that runs a freelancer's money in one place: what came in, what went out, who still owes you, and what to set aside for tax — with a dashboard that shows the month at a glance.

The overdue row flagged itself — the tracker compares due dates with today and marks what is late, so nobody has to keep it in their head. The three figures above are the dashboard reading the same month.
It is a bookkeeping aid, not tax advice — it keeps your numbers in order; what you owe is still a question for your local rules or an accountant.
Your figures live in your own spreadsheet file. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Twenty still, quiet images of rain on glass — café lights dissolving at dusk, a grey garden morning, the city held inside a single drop at night. Sized for phones, and made to be lived with rather than looked at once.

Today · Phrase of the day
It slipped my mind.
意思：我一时给忘了。
“Sorry I didn't call last night — it completely slipped my mind.”
教练提示：直译成 “I forgot” 并没有错，但母语者在为小事道歉时更常说 slipped my mind——听起来轻描淡写，不显得敷衍。这正是 Living Dictionary 每天帮你盯住的差别。
Sight translation — 看中文，说英文
「这件事我们回头再说吧。」
Say it the way a native would — then check yourself.
“Let's come back to this later.”
Not “we will say this thing again”. Here 回头 means later, not heads turning — the kind of carry-over from Chinese that the tracker watches for in your practice, every day.
The tracker watches for the patterns Chinese speakers carry into English, and your personal dictionary resurfaces your own words on a spaced schedule — that is the “living” part.
