Day 1/56 - Your First 56 Days Challenge 🎯
Welcome to your first Fluent and Free challenge! Esse desafio dos 56 dias foi criado para te ajudar a construir o hábito mais importante para quem quer falar inglês com confiança: praticar um pouquinho todos os dias. No começo, pode parecer que gravar um vídeo por dia não vai fazer tanta diferença. Talvez você até pense: “Será que isso realmente funciona?” A resposta é: sim. Trust the process. Quando você assistir ao vídeo que gravou hoje e comparar com o vídeo do Dia 56, tenho certeza de que vai enxergar uma diferença enorme na sua confiança, na sua pronúncia e na sua facilidade para se expressar. Antes de começar, vá até a aba Classroom e assista ao vídeo chamado “Your First 56 Days” em que eu explico exatamente como funciona esse desafio e como tirar o máximo proveito dele Depois, volte aqui e publique o seu primeiro vídeo nos comentários. Você vai receber feedback exclusivo e começar a sua jornada rumo à fluência! 🎥 Day 1/56: Introduce Yourself I am looking forward to getting to know you! Mackenzie

@Katia Groth it will be worth it, believe me :) the first 10 days are the hardest ones because you’re still not used to this, but as you make this part of your routine, it becomes easier and you also start absorbing so much more!

@Michael Moraes Michael, first of all, thank you for sharing something so personal with us. I haven’t heard this Nickelback song, “If Today Was Your Last Day,” but I actually really like Nickelback! It’s funny how songs come and go, right? I’m the same way. Depending on what I’m going through in my life, a certain song will suddenly show up and just make so much sense to me. A couple of quick language tips from your video: “It reminds me of my dad.” Not “It reminds my dad.” Remind someone of something = fazer alguém lembrar de alguma coisa. “It tells us…” Not “It tell us…” Remember that with it, the verb needs the -s: it tells, it reminds, it makes, it means. Other than that, you did a great job! I hope to see you in class tomorrow morning :)

@Marcia Saiter Márcia, you did a great job recommending “Hallelujah”! Such a beautiful and classic song. ❤️ I have a few little pronunciation and vocabulary tips for you: Different kinds of music — not different kinds of musics. In English, music is usually used to talk about music in general or a type/style of music. For example: I love country music or I listen to different kinds of music. When we’re talking about one specific track, we use song. So, Hallelujah is a song. That’s why instead of “Everyone knows this music,” we would say “Everyone knows this song.” Suggest — pay attention to the G sound here. It is not pronounced like the G in “good.” In suggest, it has the J sound, like the sound in job, just, and John. So think: suggest = suh-JEST. The beginning is a J sound, not a hard G sound. Other than that, you did really well! Keep going! ❤️
Day 9/56 Your First 56 Days Challenge 🇺🇸
Wow, you’ve made it to Day 9! Today’s challenge is one of my favorites: talk about a movie you love. Tell us: 🎥 What’s your favorite movie? What is it about? Why do you love it? Who’s your favorite character? Would you recommend it? Your hard work and dedication are starting to pay off. Your brain is getting more and more used to speaking English with purpose, so keep it going! I can’t wait to hear your videos and get all the movie recommendations I can from you guys! And remember: Consistency today. Fluency tomorrow. 🗣️🇺🇸

@Isabela Bezerra Jorge Hey Isabela! I’ve actually never seen the movie you’re talking about, but I’ll definitely give it a try! 😊 One important thing I noticed, and I’ve noticed this in some of your other videos too, is the word interesting. Try to pronounce it more like “ín-truhs-ting” (ín-trâs-ting). The middle syllable is very reduced in natural English. And at the end, instead of “I recommend it a lot,” a much more natural way to say it is “I highly recommend it.” Also, pay attention to the Ré sound in recommend: ré-co-mend Other than that, you did really well! I’m so excited that you’re all caught up, and now you’re going to be ready to join us for Day 12 next Monday! 🎉
Today's expression - 8/28
PLAY IT BY EAR Meaning: to decide how to handle a situation as it develops instead of following a fixed plan. 👉 Em português: Deixar acontecer / Tomar decisões conforme as coisas vão acontecendo. Como soa natural: "Ir vendo na hora / Deixar rolar." Exemplo: 💬 "I don't have a strict schedule for Saturday, I'll just play it by ear." (Não tenho um cronograma rígido para o sábado, vou só deixar rolar.) ✍️ YOUR TURN / SUA VEZ: Do you prefer to plan your weekends or play it by ear? Write a sentence sharing your strategy!

Day 10/56 Your First 56 Days Challenge 🇺🇸
Day 10! You’re officially 18% through your 56-day challenge! Wow. Ten days of showing up, practicing, and actually using English. That’s something to be proud of. Starting today, we’re going to have more and more opportunities to practice storytelling, which really helps with fluency. To get started, here is today’s challenge: 🎥 When Did You First Start Learning English? Tell us your story! You can talk about: - How old you were - Why you started learning English - What you remember about your first experiences - What was difficult for you - How your English has changed since then etc. Don’t worry about making it perfect. Focus on telling the story. Your English has a story too. Today, it’s time to tell it. 🇺🇸

@Marcia Saiter Márcia, congratulations! 🎉❤️ I loved hearing about your experience learning English, especially after moving to a new country. And honestly, it’s very normal that when you move to a new country, you end up learning more English outside the classroom than inside it. A lot of traditional courses are very structured and packed with information, but they don’t always give you what we naturally need every day: opportunities to actually speak. And thank you so much for your kind words about the method! ❤️ It’s scientifically proven that when you create a habit, especially when learning another language, your progress becomes much more consistent. Sometimes we don’t notice the progress day by day, but if you keep going, you’re going to see a HUGE difference by Day 56. 🙌🏼 A couple of little things I noticed in your video: Past tense: There were a few moments where you needed “had” but said “have.” Just keep paying attention to the time you’re talking about. At the end, when you said something like “it make us practice a lot,” remember that with it, the verb needs the -s: It makes us practice a lot. These are small things, but noticing them is exactly how you improve. I’ll see you tomorrow for day 11!
