Hey everyone! Hereâs a quick recap of our first community session.
Today, our first session was great!! We talked about how this community is going to work: practical English, real conversation, useful chunks, and weekly practice through your crĂłnicas.
We also reviewed some key ideas:
- Quick Twist will be our main training path, with short stories, real-life language and common verbs.
- Core Training will help you reinforce the grammar behind each week.
- English is not about translating word by word. It is about learning how English speakers really express ideas.
- Listening is difficult because native speakers use rhythm, reductions, slang and idioms.
đ Useful chunks from today
- I feel like + -ing â I feel like having a cold beer. (tener ganas de...)
- Iâm looking forward to + -ing â Iâm looking forward to learning English. (Estar deseando de ...)
- At home / at work â not âin homeâ or âin workâ.
- My dream is to⊠â better than translating âmi ilusiĂłn esâŠâ.
đ§ Practice tip
Choose a short clip from a podcast or video. Listen to one sentence, pause it, repeat it, and try to copy the rhythm, tone and pronunciation. Donât just say the words, try to sound like the speaker.
Great first session. Letâs keep building this together! đ
