Good morning everyone! We’re continuing talking about our preferences Today’s challenge is simple: What do you prefer: big cities or small towns? 🎥 Your challenge: Record a short video talking about your preference. You can talk about: - Where you would rather live - What you like about big cities or small towns - What you don’t like - Why you prefer one over the other Don’t forget to start your video with: “Hi, my name is ____, and I’m giving myself 56 days to speak English more confidently. Today is Day 16, and my challenge is to talk about my preference when it comes to big cities and small towns.” For those of you showing up every single day: CONGRATULATIONS! You’re doing something that actually takes consistency and courage. Keep going! 📅 DON’T FORGET ABOUT TOMORROW’S LIVE SESSION! Add it to your calendar so you don’t miss it. We will start at 12pm (Brasilia time) Tomorrow, we’ll be talking about common mistakes Brazilians make in English, so it’s a great opportunity to ask questions, learn something new, and wrap up the week by improving your English together! See you there!

You made it to Day 15! That means we’re already 26.8% through the challenge! I’m SO proud of every single one of you for showing up every day, practicing your English, and putting yourselves out there. And honestly? I can see the improvement! Everyone who has been here since Day 1 is getting more comfortable speaking, expressing themselves, and using English. And that makes me even more excited to see how far you will have come by Day 56! 🗣️ Today, we’re starting to talk a little bit about preferences. And today’s question is a simple one… Coffee or tea? Although… for me, this one is actually a little difficult. 😂 You’ll understand why when you watch my video! Here are some expressions you can use today: ☕️ I prefer coffee to tea. I’d rather have tea than coffee. I’m more of a coffee person. I tend to go for tea. It really depends on the situation. I have a soft spot for coffee. I’m not particularly fond of tea. 🎥 Your challenge: Tell us which one you prefer and why! And don’t forget to add Saturday’s class to your calendar. We’ll be focusing a lot on common mistakes Brazilians make and it’s the perfect way to finish the week strong! See you tomorrow for day 16! Mackenzie

We’re already on Day 14, can you believe it?! Today we’re going to talk about something fun: something you love to read, watch, or listen to. I talked about my favorite book, but there are so many possibilities! Maybe you want to tell us about: - A book you couldn’t put down - A podcast you listen to all the time - A YouTube channel you’re obsessed with - Something you listen to while driving or working - Something that taught you something valuable - Something that simply makes you happy And seriously, I’m SO happy with the results I’m already seeing here in the community. I’m noticing people speaking with more confidence, taking more risks, and getting more comfortable expressing themselves in English. Keep going! You’re doing amazing! See you tomorrow for Day 15! 🇺🇸🗣️ Remember: Consistency today. Fluency tomorrow. Mackenzie
