How to boost your fluency and vocabulary in 30 days (FB challenge) | American English

It's been a long time since I've gone live. I just had a title here saying you're live. So good. I know that I'm live now. Okay? So it's so great to be here. I haven't been here in a long time. And let's get to business. So the reason why I'm here is because I want to invite you to a 30 day festival of fluency, pronunciation, compassion, communication and connection. I want you to join my amazing community in our amazing Facebook group called the Fluency Challenge and to join the July Challenge. So, so here's the thing. Here is why I came up with this challenge. A lot of you have told me that you are struggling with coming up with new words, expanding your vocabulary. You don't have a lot of opportunities to speak. You lose confidence when you have to speak. You get stuck. You are not sure if you know how to end the sentence or to finish your thought. Okay? Now you know I can give you a lot of tricks and tips and hacks and I will throughout this month if you join the challenge. But the main thing, the main thing that you need is practice. Real practice. Practice time. Speaking with people, speaking about things that are important for you. Speaking about things that are out of your comfort zone, right? Speaking about things that you don't usually speak about at work or when you go to the grocery store store, or when you talk to your teacher, right? You are talking about the same thing, so you're really good at it. If you need to talk about your product at work, you know how to talk about it. But then when you have to talk about, I don't know, World cup, then it's a little harder to find the words because you know what you need to say about it in your native tongue. But in English, the words don't come out. Or when you want to talk about your goals and, and your aspirations and about what you love in life and about war and peace and other important and meaningful stuff, then you get stuck. You don't go deep or you don't even have small talks. Small, small talks. Okay? Now again, this. There is no secret behind it. You just need practice time. So I assume that a lot of you don't have enough opportunities to talk about these things. You don't have motivation. You don't have a cause. Sometimes you don't have the partners if you don't live in the US or Australia or England. So this is why I created this safe, supportive space of non native speakers communicating with each other. Now, again, if you, I Mean, I am, I think I'm in tears daily by looking at the connections that are created and the support that people get and how people put themselves out there. Because the idea here is that you make a video of yourself, introduce yourself and then every now and then we have different challenges. So we had daily challenges and we started with five day challenge, with a five day challenge. But, but now this is the big thing. This is a 30 day fluency challenge, which means that every single day you get to talk about a different meaningful topic. So it's not like, so tell us about what you had for lunch today. No, it's about deeper things. So, for example, today, day one is, you know, today's topic is what, what motivates you to be your, to be your best. Okay. And I've seen some amazing videos with incredible insights just today. Okay, so people, what you need to do is basically think about the topic, think about what you have to say about it, look for the words if you need to put yourself on video and upload it to the group and receive the love. Because that's what it's about, to receive the love and to share the love. And you learn from each other so much. So again, this is a fantastic opportunity, especially if you don't have enough practice time, people to speak to. Okay, so if you're interested in joining here, how it goes, you will join the group. If you are not on Facebook, you can just join the email list and get the topics to your emails every single day and do it on your own. You know, make a video for yourself with the tips that I'm going to give you. And then, you know, this is. Sometimes we just need motivation. Sometimes we need someone else to tell us. Okay, you're not doing it on your own. I'm gonna tell you what you need to do now in order to really see a change and the difference. Okay? So I'm willing to do that for you and with you. And I want you to join the challenge. There is nothing waiting for you at the end. I don't have a program coming up. This is just for us to meet each other to develop this amazing community that is created. We have a lot of great plans for it, you know, meetups and subgroups and this is, I don't think you want to miss it out. If English is, you know, is like improving. Your English is still on your checklist. Okay? So to join the challenge, click the link below and then you'll sign up and then you'll get the daily email with a question.

If you post it, then of course, you know, you'll get, you'll get feedback and tips and I'm there to support you. And if you get stuck with something, if you need more help, pronunciation issues, I'm there for you.
