8220
01:02
in the United States, it is not the new year  yet. It is the morning of December 31st.

01:11
It is not yet the new year, but very soon it  will be 2023, and we will all be there together.

02:14
the comments and who knows, maybe your comment  will appear on the screen, if you are a lucky  
19
134160
5940
02:20
one. First, I would like to ask you a difficult  question. I would like to know, what is the  
20
140100
10560
02:30
hardest part about speaking in English for you? Let me know in the chat box, and I would love  
21
150660
7200
02:37
to read your answers out loud, and  we'll see where that goes. Let me  
22
157860
6300
02:44
know what is the hardest part about speaking  in English. I know for me, I'm still learning,  
23
164160
6780
02:52
but when I started to learn French, which is my  second language, there were so many difficulties  
24
172380
6660
02:59
with speaking, and some of the biggest dealt with  my fear of making mistakes. Would other people  
25
179040
6960
03:06
really understand me? What if they didn't, and  I had to repeat myself, and I felt embarrassed?  
26
186000
5700
03:11
All of these thoughts were floating around in my  head, and it was not always easy to get over them. 
27
191700
6960
03:20
I see here, Eren says, "One of the hardest  parts is what to say when you don't know  
28
200100
5400
03:25
the necessary vocabulary for what you want  to say." Yeah. You try to say something,  
29
205500
5400
03:30
and then you can't think of that word, and it's  right there, but I just don't know the word. Maybe  
30
210900
5040
03:35
you know the word in your native language, but  not in English. That can be really frustrating.  
31
215940
4920
03:42
Thao Hien says, "The pronunciation is the  hardest part of speaking." Yeah. You want  
32
222600
5700
03:48
to make sure other people can understand  you. If other people can't understand you,  
33
228300
4920
03:54
you can't have a conversation. It just stops. Omar says, "The hardest part about speaking in  
34
234720
6060
04:00
English is understanding a conversation and being  able to speak about the topic." Okay. I think this  
35
240780
7680
04:08
also deals with some of the... The first answer  that we had, that was talking about having the  
36
248460
6720
04:15
right words. You can't speak about a topic, if you  don't have the right words for that topic. Maybe  
37
255180
7560
04:22
you feel great talking about your vacation last  week, but maybe if somebody asks about your job,  
38
262740
8280
04:32
there are some things that you just don't  know how to speak about in English. Being  
39
272460
5700
04:38
able to build up that vocabulary, and  build up that confidence is the key. 
40
278160
4740
04:43
Saheli says, "The hardest part about speaking  in English for me is when I forget all the  
41
283680
4440
04:48
words when I speak in English with others."  Yeah. This can cause a lot of embarrassment,  
42
288120
6660
04:54
especially because I imagine a lot of you are  very dedicated. You feel passionate about English  
43
294780
6240
05:01
and you really want to improve. Maybe you watch  my YouTube videos, you're studying English, you  
44
301020
5880
05:06
listen to English podcasts, you do all of these  things, and then when you have a conversation,  
45
306900
4860
05:13
all of the words just leave your head. That  can be embarrassing. You want to say exactly  
46
313380
6600
05:19
what you want to say, but also frustrating  because you have been trying to study English,  
47
319980
5040
05:25
so that those situations don't happen. Yes,  absolutely. That can be a very frustrating thing. 
48
325020
6660
05:33
KT says, "The hardest part about speaking in  English is I don't have a person to talk and  
49
333480
5400
05:38
practice with." Oh, yes. Yes. How can you  practice speaking? Well, we need to speak,  
50
338880
6420
05:45
and if you don't have someone to speak with, that  can be a big block, and make it less exciting too.  
51
345300
7260
05:52
When you have someone to speak with, it can boost  that motivation, maybe give you a little bit of  
52
352560
6600
05:59
a fear in your heart, oh, I need to speak with  someone, so I got to practice. Sometimes, that's  
53
359160
5940
06:05
a good motivation. Having someone to speak with  is a wonderful thing. When you don't, what can you  
54
365100
7260
06:12
do? Well, we'll talk about it in just a minute. All right. Let's go on to our next question,  
55
372360
7440
06:19
a little more positive of a question. Here  at the new year, we are often thinking about  
56
379800
4800
06:24
changing our life, what happened in 2022 and  how we can change that for 2023? Here's my  
57
384600
7560
06:32
question for you. How would your life change if  you could speak English clearly and confidently?  
58
392160
7680
06:41
Some of you mentioned, I don't have the words that  I want to say, I don't have someone to speak with.  
59
401700
5100
06:46
Well, what if you had all of those things and you  could speak clearly and confidently, what would  
60
406800
7260
06:54
happen? Think about your job possibilities,  travel possibilities, family possibilities. 
61
414060
6960
07:01
I know a lot of my students, they have family  members who live in English-speaking countries,  
62
421020
6120
07:07
their grandchildren speak English, and they  need to speak with them. Think about all of  
63
427140
4620
07:11
those possible changes, and what would happen if  you could communicate with no problem. You would  
64
431760
7320
07:19
feel comfortable and confident speaking with  them. Let me know in the chat box how your life  
65
439080
6900
07:25
would change. I see a comment here that someone  said, "I can achieve my goals." Thank you so much,  
66
445980
10680
07:37
Vanaparthi. You said, "I can achieve my goals if I  could speak in English." Wonderful. William says,  
67
457680
6060
07:43
"My next job depends on English." Okay. This  is not just for fun, it is also your career.  
68
463740
7560
07:51
Maybe your family is depending on you getting  a better job, so that you can speak English  
69
471300
4500
07:55
clearly and comfortably. Eman says, "First, I  would like to make friends around the world." 
70
475800
5220
08:01
Yes. Oh, and that's a beautiful thing too.  When you can connect with other people around  
71
481020
4920
08:05
the world. Assina says, "I would be more confident  saying I do speak English." This is something that  
72
485940
7500
08:13
we should not underestimate, because that feeling  inside of you, that pride of I can do this, yes,  
73
493440
7380
08:20
I did this. That can really revolutionize  other areas of your life too. When you have  
74
500820
5760
08:26
that confidence, you carry that with you in your  job, in your family, so having that confidence  
75
506580
5820
08:32
is great. Andrea says, "Travel possibilities."  Yes. You would easily be able to travel almost  
76
512400
8280
08:40
anywhere, communicate with people in the  hotel, in the restaurant, make friends,  
77
520680
4380
08:45
be able to enjoy tours, and do different  things in English smoothly with no problem.  
78
525060
6120
08:52
Faith says, "I'll be able to communicate  confidently at my job with my coworkers."  
79
532320
4800
08:57
Yes. You know what? I know a  lot of you speak in English  
80
537660
2940
09:00
with your coworkers, maybe with your clients. If you have an international business, you need  
81
540600
5580
09:06
to talk with your clients in English. Maybe you  have a manager or a boss who speaks in English.  
82
546180
5040
09:12
The stakes are high in those situations. Your job  depends on it. You're representing your company.  
83
552000
6720
09:18
All of that really matters, so being able to  speak confidently and clearly at your job,  
84
558720
6540
09:25
that would change a lot. Dinara says, "If  I could communicate confidently, I would  
85
565860
5220
09:31
change my job and earn more money." Aha, so you  could get a promotion, change your job position,  
86
571080
6360
09:38
that would be wonderful. I think sometimes, when  we earn more money, some of those stresses about  
87
578340
6360
09:44
our daily life can slip away sometimes, because  you're able to just enjoy what's in front of you.  
88
584700
7620
09:54
You said, "I can go to Canada for medical study."  Okay. You could study abroad, that would be great.  
89
594060
7440
10:01
I know a lot of academic studies, a lot of  academic literature are all in English. If  
90
601500
6780
10:08
you need to improve your knowledge in that way,  great. Knowing English will really help you. 
91
608280
6600
10:15
Well, I have some good news. All  of these things can be possible,  
92
615900
7020
10:22
because I have a solution for you. I would like  to introduce you to the 30-day speaking challenge,  
93
622920
8460
10:31
if you would like to get a better job,  travel easily, be able to make more money,  
94
631380
6660
10:38
be able to enjoy friends around the world. Well, I  want to tell you about something very special. In  
95
638040
7980
10:46
the 30-day speaking challenge, you will be able  to express yourself easily. Like you mentioned,  
96
646020
8520
10:54
sometimes, remembering words is really  hard, especially in that moment. Well,  
97
654540
5100
10:59
with the 30-day speaking challenge, you  can use the words that you want to say.  
98
659640
4860
11:04
They're not just sitting in your head collecting  dust. Instead, you get the chance to use them. 
99
664500
6660
11:12
If you are like me, probably you're a busy  person. The key here is that you can quickly  
100
672420
7080
11:19
improve without wasting your time. Of course, if  you've been following Speak English with Vanessa  
101
679500
7020
11:26
for a while, you know that my goal is to help  you learn real English, move away from textbooks,  
102
686520
5880
11:32
move away from the classroom, and really be able  to speak real English that people really use in  
103
692400
6060
11:38
daily life. With the 30-day speaking challenge,  you are able to do that, speak real English.  
104
698460
6960
11:47
I would like to give you a little note  about what one of my students Ibraheem said,  
105
707700
5100
11:52
because I think that it fits perfectly with  what you mentioned in your frustration,  
106
712800
5400
11:58
and what you would like to change in your life. Ibraheem said that he was working in his office  
107
718200
6000
12:04
and his colleague said something amazing to him.  His colleague said, "What a sudden change in the  
108
724200
6480
12:10
way you speak English. You have improved a lot.  You speak like an American." Well, here, what I  
109
730680
6000
12:16
imagine speak like an American means is speak with  confidence, without hesitation, feeling like, yes,  
110
736680
7440
12:24
I can express myself clearly. What a wonderful  thing. Really, with the 30-day speaking challenge,  
111
744120
6900
12:31
you too can suddenly change the way that you  speak, and improve a lot. My student Vanessa says,  
112
751020
8520
12:39
"Without wasting a single day, I learned a lot  and it was really fun." I absolutely understand  
113
759540
5340
12:44
not wanting to waste time. You're a busy person,  I'm a busy person. Making sure that you are using  
114
764880
8640
12:53
your time effectively and having fun is the key.  Let me tell you a little bit about how the 30-day  
115
773520
9060
13:02
speaking challenge works. In the 30-day speaking  challenge, we use the four-step speaking method.  
116
782580
7140
13:09
This four-step speaking method will help you to  grow your confidence and be able to speak clearly. 
117
789720
7080
13:16
Step number one is, each day for 30 days, you  will watch the daily speaking lesson that I have  
118
796800
9300
13:26
prepared for you. In each of those speaking  lessons, there is daily vocabulary, there is  
119
806100
5880
13:31
a daily question that I ask you, and I will give  you my sample answer, so that you will see exactly  
120
811980
6600
13:38
how you need to answer it, and you'll have the  words that you need, so that you can use them  
121
818580
4980
13:43
when you speak. Very important. Step number two  is to write your answer to that daily question,  
122
823560
7800
13:51
every day for 30 days. Now, when you write your  answer, you are preparing your mind, so that you  
123
831360
8220
13:59
can say exactly what you want to say when you  are ready to speak, and that will come in just  
124
839580
4980
14:04
a moment. But when you write it down, you don't  need to write down anything fancy, no essays,  
125
844560
5040
14:09
no long paragraphs, just the way that you speak,  a few sentences answering the daily question. 
126
849600
6300
14:17
Next, step number three of the four-step speaking  method is to read. I want you to read your answer  
127
857220
8580
14:25
to the daily question out loud three times. This  will help you to hear your voice in English,  
128
865800
6420
14:32
because if you're like me, maybe when you  speak in English, in another language, it  
129
872220
7620
14:39
initially sounds weird to hear yourself speaking  another language. I know for me, when I started  
130
879840
7680
14:47
to speak in French and I heard my voice saying  French words, that just felt so weird. I felt  
131
887520
6240
14:53
uncomfortable. I did not feel confident when I  was saying those words. But the more that you hear  
132
893760
6780
15:00
yourself speaking out loud in English, the more  it will feel normal and comfortable. I want you  
133
900540
7680
15:08
to read your daily answer out loud three times.  You're warming up those speaking muscles, because  
134
908220
6840
15:15
step number four, are you ready? Step number four is to record yourself  
135
915900
6480
15:22
answering the daily question in our private  group. Okay. In the 30-day speaking challenge,  
136
922380
7320
15:29
we have a wonderful group where you will get to  record your voice every day, answering the daily  
137
929700
7380
15:37
question. This will help you track your progress.  It will push you to really try hard every day.  
138
937080
7620
15:44
You can't give up. We are there to support you  and motivate you, but you can record yourself  
139
944700
6420
15:51
answering the daily question, because you've  watched the lesson, you wrote down your answer,  
140
951120
5880
15:57
you read your answer out loud three times,  and now it's time to put aside what you wrote,  
141
957000
5340
16:02
and think about the question, and answer it  out loud, because something special will happen  
142
962340
7680
16:10
after you record your answer. But before I tell  you about the special thing that will happen,  
143
970020
5700
16:17
I would like to ask you a question. Have you ever had feedback from a teacher  
144
977940
5580
16:23
about your English-speaking skills? I  want you to tell me in the comments.  
145
983520
4680
16:28
Have you ever had feedback like this? Someone  has listened to you speak, and told you something  
146
988800
6540
16:35
specific you can improve, something specific  that you are doing great, or maybe give you some  
147
995340
7320
16:42
guidance to help push you in the right direction.  Dina says, "I'm afraid to record my voice." You  
148
1002660
7020
16:49
know what? This is absolutely a common feeling.  When you record your voice, maybe you listen to  
149
1009680
6180
16:55
it again and say, ugh, I don't want to hear that.  But do you know what? First of all, our group is a  
150
1015860
7500
17:03
private group. Only people in the 30-day speaking  challenge will hear this recording. Day-by-day,  
151
1023360
7080
17:10
you are pushing yourself to be able to speak  confidently, and clearly. This is a great way to  
152
1030440
7560
17:18
test yourself, challenge yourself, we could say. M.E says, "Yes. I got feedback from a teacher,  
153
1038000
6720
17:24
and it was amazing. Honestly, at the beginning,  I didn't believe it, but now it makes sense."  
154
1044720
4620
17:29
Great. You were able to take that feedback  from a teacher, and use it to benefit your  
155
1049340
6540
17:35
English-speaking skills. Maybe they said that  your English was better than you thought.  
156
1055880
4560
17:40
That's a good boost of confidence, and that can  lead you in the right direction. Drago says,  
157
1060440
5460
17:45
"Yes. I've had some feedback from teachers, and  my friends in New York." Great. Now, I think  
158
1065900
5100
17:51
there's a difference between getting feedback  from teachers, and friends. A teacher's job is  
159
1071000
6240
17:57
to give you specific feedback, but your friends  will probably say something like, oh, yeah, it's  
160
1077240
6300
18:03
fine. I understood you, not something specific to  help push you in the right direction. Maybe it's  
161
1083540
6120
18:09
good for a little boost of confidence every now  and then, but a teacher's job is to specifically  
162
1089660
5280
18:14
give you personalized feedback, because  they're a teacher, and that's what they do. 
163
1094940
5580
18:22
I highly recommend having the chance to be able to  get feedback from a teacher in English. How could  
164
1102500
8700
18:31
you do that? Well, I would like to share with you  the two special bonuses of the 30-day speaking  
165
1111200
8040
18:39
challenge. In the challenge, there are two special  things. I think these are the most exciting things  
166
1119240
5340
18:44
of the course. Number one is, after you record  your voice and you share it in our private group,  
167
1124580
6540
18:51
you will get daily feedback from one of our  professional American English teachers about your  
168
1131120
7260
18:58
speaking skills. The professional American English  teacher will listen to your daily recording, and  
169
1138380
6300
19:04
they will give you audio feedback based on what  you said. It might be, how to use a vocabulary  
170
1144680
6180
19:10
word better or, oh, yesterday you used that  pronunciation a little incorrectly, it was hard  
171
1150860
6240
19:17
to understand, and today you said it great. Okay.  They're showing you your progress, they're showing  
172
1157100
5340
19:22
you where to go, and getting this personalized  feedback is invaluable. Absolutely, it is I  
173
1162440
7200
19:29
think the most exciting part of this course. The second bonus is that, because this is a group,  
174
1169640
7800
19:38
a private group for the speaking challenge, it's  not just you hearing the feedback about your  
175
1178160
7560
19:45
speaking, you can also listen to other people's  speaking and the feedback that teachers give them,  
176
1185720
7140
19:52
so you are able to learn from each other. This  is just like being in a classroom. You are able  
177
1192860
6240
19:59
to hear what the teacher says to someone else and  improve, because of their advice. I think in this  
178
1199100
7380
20:06
way, it's helping you to improve however  many people are in the course. Right now,  
179
1206480
6420
20:12
in our private Facebook or our private Telegram  group, this is where our group is, in our private  
180
1212900
4740
20:17
telegram group, there are almost 150 people. That  means you're in a classroom with 150 people. You  
181
1217640
7500
20:25
are able to learn from their speaking as well,  based on what the professional American teacher's  
182
1225140
6900
20:32
advice is. These are the two very special  bonuses that I would like to share with you.  
183
1232040
6480
20:38
But first, there's some important information  about the 30-day speaking challenge. 
184
1238520
5640
20:45
Number one, the course begins January  1st. Maybe if you're living in  
185
1245240
6480
20:53
Australia, it is already January 1st. This is  January 1st, EST. That's my time, New York time.  
186
1253400
7800
21:02
It begins tomorrow, January 1st. Start off the  new year speaking confidently in English. The  
187
1262220
7260
21:09
second important piece of information is that  usually, this course is $99. This is a one-time  
188
1269480
6660
21:16
payment $99, but there is a special 40% off  discount. That means the total price is $60,  
189
1276140
9780
21:25
that is $2 per day, 30 days. Right now, if you  join before January 1st, before midnight tonight,  
190
1285920
9840
21:35
that is about nine hours from now, you can  get the 40% discount and pay a total of $60.  
191
1295760
8040
21:43
That's 30 personalized feedbacks every day, along  with 30 speaking lessons every day. But you need  
192
1303800
8580
21:52
to join before midnight tonight to get this  discount, because the discount will go away,  
193
1312380
5760
21:58
and you will then pay the full price. It  would be nice to speak English confidently  
194
1318140
5340
22:03
and fluently, and get a great discount. Don't wait. You can use this link here  
195
1323480
4500
22:07
in the comments, and in the description,  speakenglishwithvanessa.com/live. This is  
196
1327980
8040
22:16
where you can get the 40% discount. I would  like to ask you a question. But before we do,  
197
1336020
6480
22:23
I have a special shout out. While we were doing  this live lesson, three wonderful friends have  
198
1343760
7320
22:31
joined this course that I would like to tell  you about. First, we have Mark Suki Hausner,  
199
1351080
5940
22:37
thank you for joining the 30-day speaking  challenge. Next, we have Sang Hey Bay, thank  
200
1357020
5460
22:42
you for joining the 30-day Speaking Challenge.  Joyce Quok, thank you so much for joining the  
201
1362480
6240
22:48
30-day speaking challenge. If you join with the  speakenglishwithvanessa.com/live link later in  
202
1368720
8040
22:56
this lesson, maybe I will also say your name. It  would be great to see you in this course, and for  
203
1376760
6720
23:03
you to get a 40% discount. Nothing is better than  speaking fluently, and getting a big discount. 
204
1383480
5760
23:11
All right. Now, I have a open-ended question. I  want to know, I've just said a lot, do you have  
205
1391040
6420
23:17
any questions for me? Do you have any questions  about the speaking challenge, how it can help you?  
206
1397460
5520
23:22
If it's a good fit for you, what would you like to  ask me? Ask me in the comments and I will try my  
207
1402980
7200
23:30
best to give you some feedback, while we are here  live. That is my goal. If you would like to join  
208
1410180
7260
23:37
the course, please use that link that's in the  description, speakenglishwithvanessa.com/live,  
209
1417440
4380
23:42
so you can get 40% off. That is a special,  limited-time discount until midnight tonight.  
210
1422660
7620
23:50
Right now, that's about nine hours from now, very  soon. Omar has a question, "What is the group for  
211
1430280
10080
24:00
recordings?" Yes. We use the app Telegram,  and I give you a private link, so that you  
212
1440360
6180
24:06
can join our private Telegram group, where you  will meet other members from all over the world. 
213
1446540
6060
24:12
Right now, there are many people in that  group who have introduced themselves and said,  
214
1452600
5160
24:17
"Whoa." There's people from every country, every  time zone, and you can all support each other.  
215
1457760
5880
24:24
Aline has a great question, "Is there a specific  time for the lessons?" How these 30 lessons work  
216
1464780
5460
24:30
is that every day you will receive a new lesson,  and you can study it at any time that day,  
217
1470240
7800
24:38
but also you have lifetime access. Let's imagine,  you study the first lesson on January 1st,  
218
1478040
7680
24:45
the second lesson on January 2nd, and then on  January 3rd, your child gets sick. You spend all  
219
1485720
7080
24:52
day taking care of your child, I know how this  is, and you miss the January 3rd lesson. Well,  
220
1492800
7260
25:00
that's okay. January 4th, you can go into the  course website, and you will have lifetime  
221
1500060
6000
25:06
access to all of them. You can study January  3rd, and I recommend catching up, and you can  
222
1506060
5220
25:11
also study January 4th. Then on January 5th,  you'll get access to the day-five lesson,  
223
1511280
6420
25:17
and so on throughout the entire course. On January 30th, you have access to all  
224
1517700
6900
25:24
the lessons, because you've finished the entire  30 days, and you will always have access to all  
225
1524600
5520
25:30
30 lessons. This way you can go back and  review, you can go back and print out all  
226
1530120
5640
25:35
of the documents. You can use that however you  would like to continue improving your skills.  
227
1535760
4500
25:41
Ronny has a great question, "What level do you  recommend for this course?" Generally, I recommend  
228
1541040
7740
25:48
this for a high beginner. If you really have a  hard time understanding this lesson right now,  
229
1548780
9300
25:58
maybe you are a low beginner. If you don't  understand every word, that's okay. But if you  
230
1558680
6420
26:05
can generally understand me, you're probably  a high beginner, intermediate, or advanced. 
231
1565100
5160
26:10
If you are an advanced English speaker and  you use English every day for your job,  
232
1570260
4800
26:15
you feel like everyone can understand you pretty  well, but maybe you don't have the confidence  
233
1575060
6600
26:21
that you really want when you're in English  conversations, this can also be a course for you.  
234
1581660
5700
26:27
Because the goal is to help you speak confidently,  by the end of these 30 days, your confidence  
235
1587360
5640
26:33
will grow day-by-day. I highly recommend this  for high beginner, intermediate, and advanced  
236
1593000
7680
26:40
English learners. If you are a native English  speaker, sorry, this course is not for you. 
237
1600680
5520
26:48
M.E has a question, "Is it possible to avoid  fancy books, book vocabularies which are only  
238
1608840
6120
26:54
used in books, in order to learn a language more  confidently?" Yes. The goal of this course is to  
239
1614960
5820
27:00
help you speak real spoken English. This is what  people use in real daily life conversations.  
240
1620780
7200
27:07
If you use words that are too formal, or too  academic, or just words that we don't use often  
241
1627980
8040
27:16
in daily life, maybe people will understand  you, but there will be some awkwardness,  
242
1636020
5820
27:21
or a little bit of a uncomfortable feeling in  that conversation. The goal of this course is to  
243
1641840
6720
27:28
introduce you to new vocabulary. Every day, you'll  be introduced to two to three new expressions that  
244
1648560
7740
27:36
are useful for that daily topic, and it will help  you to really grow your real English vocabulary.  
245
1656300
5820
27:43
I hope that will help. Rainbow says, "So even after 30 days, we can  
246
1663380
4620
27:48
access the lessons. That's great." Yes, lifetime  access. I think in general, for me, every time I  
247
1668000
7860
27:55
join a course, this is something that's really  important to me, because sometimes you're busy,  
248
1675860
5340
28:01
you miss a day, or you want to go back and review.  Lifetime access, especially for an online course  
249
1681200
6480
28:07
is essential. Yes, you have lifetime access. You  can go back and check out the lessons at any time.  
250
1687680
6480
28:16
All right. I would like to make sure I  answered all of these questions here.  
251
1696080
4380
28:21
Who is the course for? We talked about the  levels. This is not specifically focusing on  
252
1701240
6960
28:28
academic English or business English. This  is daily English that you can use in daily  
253
1708200
5100
28:33
conversations. You can use it in the workplace,  you can use it in a school setting, but this is  
254
1713300
6720
28:40
going to help you have real English conversations.  I would like to tell you about my refund policy,  
255
1720020
6480
28:46
because for me, whenever I buy anything, a shirt,  a course, a car, I want to make sure that I know  
256
1726500
8880
28:55
the refund policy, because you never know. Maybe you purchase something, you purchase  
257
1735380
5520
29:00
the 30-day speaking challenge, and you think  maybe this isn't the course for me. What is  
258
1740900
5340
29:06
your refund policy? Well, I feel so confident  that you will love the 30-day speaking challenge,  
259
1746240
6420
29:12
that it will help you speak confidently.  It will help you to grow your vocabulary,  
260
1752660
4800
29:17
so you have the words that you want to say, and  it will help you over 30 days to use real English,  
261
1757460
6120
29:23
that I will offer you a 30-day money-back  guarantee. This means all you need to do is,  
262
1763580
7740
29:31
within 30 days of your purchase, you send me an  email and say, hey, Vanessa, I bought the course,  
263
1771320
6000
29:37
but it's not a good fit. No problem. Don't  feel bad about it. That's totally okay.  
264
1777320
6120
29:44
I will read your email and send you a refund, just  like that. No hassle, no worries. But I'm sure  
265
1784100
6900
29:51
you'll love the course, and I feel confident that  it will help you to reach your goals in English. 
266
1791000
5580
29:58
Before we talk about any final  questions, I'd like to shout out  
267
1798320
3360
30:03
three more people who have just joined  the 30-day speaking challenge. Ken Cyto,  
268
1803120
5280
30:08
thank you so much for joining the 30-day speaking  challenge. Christina Caminiti, thank you so much  
269
1808400
7320
30:15
for joining. Natalie Kolchak, thank you so much  for joining the 30-day speaking challenge. You're  
270
1815720
6780
30:22
awesome. If you would like to join, you can use  this link, speakenglishwithvanessa.com/live,  
271
1822500
5280
30:29
and you will be able to get a 40% discount  on the course. But this 40% discount ends  
272
1829460
9480
30:38
at midnight tonight EST, that's the New York time.  You have about nine hours left or so. At midnight,  
273
1838940
10620
30:49
this discount will be gone and you'll have to pay  full price, which is $99. But I would love for  
274
1849560
7560
30:57
you to be able to join the course for only $60,  that's $2 per day, one-time payment. You don't  
275
1857120
6180
31:03
need to pay again, just that for lifetime access. It closes tonight, because tomorrow morning,  
276
1863300
7800
31:11
on January 1st, you'll receive an email from  me that says the 30-day speaking challenge  
277
1871100
7800
31:18
begins now. Click on that email, and you'll have  access to the day one speaking lesson. You can  
278
1878900
7320
31:26
watch the lesson, write your answer, read your  answer out loud, record your voice and tomorrow,  
279
1886220
6000
31:32
you can get personalized speaking feedback  from our professional American English  
280
1892760
6000
31:38
teachers. Imagine, within 24 hours, you could  have personalized feedback. That would be so  
281
1898760
6840
31:45
great. I would love for you to join me in this  course. Before we go, I would like to ask you,  
282
1905600
7320
31:52
do you have any questions for me? If you have  any burning questions, I would love to be able  
283
1912920
5220
31:58
to answer them for you for the next few minutes. If this lesson finishes and then you realize,  
284
1918140
7560
32:05
oh, I have a question, you can always  send me an email. My email address is  
285
1925700
5520
32:12
[email protected], and it  is my pleasure to be able to help you out,  
286
1932180
4800
32:16
and answer your questions. If you would like to  ask me any questions, it will be my pleasure to  
287
1936980
7860
32:24
answer. I see Huda asked, "How much does it cost?"  The 30-day speaking challenge usually costs $99,  
288
1944840
7680
32:32
that's about $3 per day. But right now, you can  join for a 40% discount until midnight tonight,  
289
1952520
9720
32:42
and it will be $60. That's a 40% discount,  flat rate, one-time payment, it's finished. 
290
1962240
7200
32:51
Bella has a fun question. "What topics do we  discuss in the group?" In the 30-day speaking  
291
1971540
5700
32:57
challenge, there's four weeks and each week is  a different topic. Each day, within that topic  
292
1977240
6600
33:03
are specific daily speaking questions. I'm very  excited about this, because the course is built to  
293
1983840
7320
33:11
challenge you more and more each day. For example,  week one, the topic is family. Well, maybe you  
294
1991160
6840
33:18
can talk about how many people are in your family.  Pretty basic question. I think that might actually

be the day-one question, simple question. But  at the end of week one, the questions about  
296
2003640
7680
33:31
your family get more and more tricky to answer.  I give you some key vocabulary words that you can  
297
2011320
6720
33:38
use to answer, but even though these topics are  general topics, the course is designed to grow  
298
2018040
7020
33:45
your skills, and challenge you more and more. Then when week two starts and we start a new  
299
2025060
5040
33:50
topic, the questions on day eight, day-eight  question starts off simple. But then by the end  
300
2030100
9300
33:59
of week two, the questions are a little more  challenging, and it's built to help you grow  
301
2039400
4680
34:04
day-by-day, and to feel more confident  about your skills. Marianna has a question,  
302
2044680
6840
34:11
"Does this course give a certification?" At the  end of the course, when you finish all 30 days,  
303
2051520
7740
34:19
I will give you a certificate of completion.  Now, this is not an IELTS certificate, but  
304
2059260
6900
34:26
this is a way that you can prove to yourself. Some  people also have their company paying for them to  
305
2066160
6660
34:32
take English courses. If this is you, maybe your  company can pay for you to do the 30-day speaking  
306
2072820
6240
34:39
challenge, and you can show them that certificate  of completion, I finished all 30 days and I'm  
307
2079060
5700
34:44
improving my English. There will be a certificate  of completion, when you finish all 30 days.

Leonardo says, "I just joined the challenge."  Hooray. "I'm from Brazil, and I hope my English,  
309
2091120
4560
34:55
and confidence improve a lot within these 30  days." Oh, Leonardo, I'm very much looking  
310
2095680
4560
35:00
forward to seeing you in our group, and  helping you improve day-by-day. All right.

Drago has a question, "How many feedbacks? So how  much feedback can we receive from your teachers?"  
312
2106840
6120
35:13
The goal is that, every day, you will make a  recording of your voice. This is one minute  
313
2113980
6660
35:20
or less, answering the daily question, and you  will receive feedback on each of your speaking  
314
2120640
6900
35:27
recordings. If you make 30 recordings, you will  get 30 speaking feedbacks from our teachers. If  
315
2127540
8340
35:35
you miss a bunch of days and only make three  recordings, well, you'll only get three pieces  
316
2135880
6420
35:42
of feedback, audio feedbacks from our teachers. Here, the goal is to make all 30 lessons,  
317
2142300
7800
35:50
finish all 30 lessons, and get the most feedback  that you can. That is certainly, I think,  
318
2150100
5580
35:55
the best way to progress. I hope that helps. We  have a question about children. Is this course  
319
2155680
6360
36:02
good for kids as well? Generally, I recommend that  my courses are for 18-years-old and up. The main  
320
2162040
9300
36:11
reason for this, it's not because we are talking  about controversial topics, but mainly because  
321
2171340
6960
36:18
the group involves, or the course involves a group  chat in the app Telegram. For my children, I don't  
322
2178300
10440
36:28
really want them to participate in group chats  with adults. Generally, I recommend that this  
323
2188740
7260
36:36
course is best for adults. If you want to do the  course with your child and participate with them,  
324
2196000
7080
36:43
that's no problem. I think adult supervision is a  great idea when children are using the internet.

Anthony has a question, "Do I need  a computer to do the exercises?"  
326
2209800
3300
36:53
You can use your phone. Certainly you need some  device, because these are... All the lessons  
327
2213880
5940
36:59
are delivered online, so you need a phone,  or a tablet, or a laptop, or a computer.  
328
2219820
4440
37:06
They will not come through the radio, through your  TV, magically appear in your mailbox. Yes, you  
329
2226420
7500
37:13
need some device, but you don't need a computer.  A phone is no problem. I hope that helps. 
330
2233920
6840
37:22
If you have any other questions, feel free  to ask me. I'll be here for about five more  
331
2242980
4020
37:27
minutes or so, and it will be my pleasure to  help you. Victor has a question, "Is it only  
332
2247000
6900
37:33
on Telegram?" The course itself, let me show you  in a moment. The course is on my course website,  
333
2253900
7380
37:41
so you will watch the course videos. Let  me show you here. The course videos are on  
334
2261280
11460
37:55
here. You can see here,  this is the course website,  
335
2275920
3240
38:00
and at the beginning, you do not have  access to... Today, when you join,  
336
2280060
5880
38:05
you will not have access to any of these lessons  yet, available in one day, available in two days,  
337
2285940
6000
38:11
available in three days. But you will have  access to the course guide. Let's take a look. 
338
2291940
7500
38:21
This is how to use the course. You'll have  access to a link to join the Telegram group,  
339
2301360
6180
38:27
and this is my guide about how to  use the four-step speaking method,  
340
2307540
4560
38:33
how to use the bonuses, and also a calendar.  Then on day one, you will have access to the  
341
2313660
6120
38:39
day-one lesson. This is an example of what the  day-one lesson will look like, this is the-

2319780
5640
38:45
Audio: All right,  
343
2325420
540
38:45
now it's your turn to answer this question. Vanessa: 
344
2325960
3589
38:49
... video. I will be giving you the day-one  question, day-one key speaking vocabulary and  
345
2329549
7391
38:56
also a sample answer, so that you can have  an idea about how to answer the question.  
346
2336940
4620
39:03
You can look at the day-one lesson here in text  format. Sometimes, it's helpful to read as well,  
347
2343240
7200
39:10
some of the key vocabulary, some of the key  sentences, and also an area where you can  
348
2350440
6840
39:17
write your answer, because that is going to be  step two. This is what you will have access to  
349
2357280
7140
39:24
on the course website, but you will also join  us in the Telegram group each day. At the end  
350
2364420
6300
39:30
of each lesson, I'll tell you not to answer  this question in our group [inaudible 00:39:36]  
351
2370720
2040
39:32
in our course group, and that's exactly what  happens is you will join me in the course group  
352

after you study on the course website. Both of these are important for using the course

in the best way possible. I hope that helps.  All right. If anyone has any other questions,
