October was a month packed with growth, and momentum across the community. Here’s a recap of what moved the community forward.
Big moments

- Our OPI practice threads leveled up too.( Spanish, Arabic, and English) practice real conversation.
- The movies-for-language discussion by sparked a interesting point of views on how to use films while learning a language.

What I learned this month
