🏙️ Mini-Challenge: What City Would You Like to Visit Next?

I’m curious about the mix of tradition and modern life, and the city feels very different from anywhere I’ve been before. I’d love to explore different neighborhoods, try the food, and just experience daily life there. It feels like a place where you can never get bored. ✨ Your turn. Pick a city, explain what draws you there, and put it into words 🌍✈️

@José Lucas De Sousa Feitosa That sounds like a great plan! Atlanta is a cool city, and visiting friends always makes a trip better. And if you want to see snow, Colorado is perfect for that — the landscapes there are incredible. Would you prefer city life in Denver or more time in nature?
Poem of the Day "🌙 Ozymandias — Percy Bysshe Shelley"
Poetry might look intimidating… but for language learners, it’s secretly one of the best tools you can use. Why? Because a poem like Ozymandias gives you three things at once: 1. Elevated vocabulary (without being overwhelming) 2. Rhythm and musicality — the “music” of English 3. A chance to hear native speakers recite something powerful And trust me: listening to poetry read by natives does wonders. Your ear gets sharper. Your sense of flow improves. And your English starts sounding more… elegant. This poem in particular is short, dramatic, and unforgettable — a little story about how even the biggest, most powerful men in history eventually… disappear into the sand. (Quite humbling, honestly.) Think of it as a mini workout for your English brain — but with better aesthetics. 🌙 Ozymandias (Percy Bysshe Shelley) I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

🏫💻 Mini-Challenge: Language Schools or Learning Online — What’s More Effective?
📝 Your Task: This is an opinion + explanation challenge. 👉 Please: • Answer in your target language • Say which you think is more effective: language schools or learning online • Explain why (go beyond one sentence) • You can talk about motivation, structure, flexibility, speaking practice, cost, etc. • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed There’s no correct answer — just share your honest view. ❓ The Question Do you think language schools or learning online is more effective? Why? ✨ Example Answer (English) I think learning online is more effective for most people. It’s more flexible, and you can choose content that fits your level and interests. Language schools can be useful for structure and social interaction, but they often move too slowly or too fast. For me, online learning works better because I can practice more and stay consistent. ✨ Your turn. Pick a side, explain your reasoning, and express your opinion in your own words 💬

@Antonio Torrealba That’s a fair point. Structure can help in the beginning — but only if it actually teaches how to learn a language. The problem is that many schools give structure without real exposure, so people feel organized but don’t progress much. Online learning tends to work better once you realize that exposure and consistency matter more than following a fixed syllabus.

@Alexandre Mask Haha non, tu as dit beaucoup de choses intéressantes 😉 Je te rejoins surtout sur un point: chaque langue et chaque personne sont différentes. Pour moi, le facteur décisif reste la constance et l’exposition réelle. Une école peut aider… mais seulement si elle déclenche ça. Sinon, le format en ligne fait souvent mieux le travail.
🎶 Mini-Challenge: What Song Always Puts You in a Good Mood?
📝 Your Task: This is a fun, feel-good recommendation challenge. 👉 Please: • Answer in your target language • Name one song that always puts you in a good mood • Explain why (the melody, lyrics, memories, vibe, etc.) • You can mention when you listen to it or how it makes you feel • Try on your own first • Use AI as needed • Go beyond one sentence No wrong answers — just honest expression. ❓ The Question What song always puts you in a good mood, and why? ✨ Example Answer (English A song that always puts me in a good mood is “Lucky Man” by The Verve. It has a calm, positive feeling that makes me slow down and appreciate what I have. I like listening to it when I’m walking or reflecting a bit. It reminds me that even simple things in life can make you feel lucky. ✨ Your turn. Share the song that lifts your mood — and tell us why 🎧😊

One or two?
Hi guys! I've been learning English for 3 years and a half, and I'm thinking about starting a new language! But there's one problem...I also want to get to a really high level in English...I'm somewhere between B2 and C1... My next language will be Spanish, I think. So, what do you think? Should I start Spanish in 2026, and do both Spanish and English? Or should I focus entirely on English?

Well, I would say there’s no wrong answer in this case! If you go down a specific path and prefer to later adjust it, that wouldn’t be a big deal either.
