We’re officially starting Week 3 of our 56-day challenge, and I just want to say: I’m so proud of you for sticking with it! I hope you had a relaxing week, got some rest, and had a chance to recharge. But now… it’s time to get back to work! 💪 And before we jump into today’s challenge, I want to say thank you to everyone who joined us for our live session this Saturday! We had a great time learning about American traditions and customs, and I loved seeing you guys participating and sharing your experiences. And by the way, if you want to watch all the classes from that module, they’re already open! Just go to Classroom and look for the module called “The American Way of Living.” 🇺🇸 I also want to give a shout out to our new students who will be joining our 56 Days Challenge this week @Carlos Melo Jr @Luciano Paes @Kauã Dutra and @Katia Groth Now, let’s talk about today’s challenge! 🎯 DAY 12/56 Today’s challenge is to talk about the most difficult word to pronounce in English in your opinion. Your Challenge: Record a 60–90 second video. Make sure you start your video with: “Hi, my name is [your name], and I’m giving myself 56 days to speak English more confidently. Today is Day 12, and my challenge is to talk about the most difficult word to pronounce in English.” Then, continue by answering these questions: 1. What is the most difficult word for you to pronounce? 2. Why do you find this word difficult? 3. Can you pronounce it better now, or do you still struggle with it? 4. What part is challenging for you — the sounds, stress, intonation, or syllables? 5. What are you doing to improve your pronunciation? Let’s keep showing up, keep practicing, and keep pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zones. I’ll see you in the comments! Mackenzie

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
