that challenges you to get better English in 30 days.

In this video, I want to talk about how a 30-day challenge can help you get better English.

But first, I want you to know that you can still sign up for this challenge. Enter your

email address on our website, and click “Subscribe.”

So how can a 30-day challenge help you to get better English?

First, a 30-day challenge encourages teamwork.

When you are trying to improve something in your life, it’s helpful to know that you’re

not the only one. At OnTargetEnglish.com, hundreds of English learners have signed up

for the English Success challenge. Many of them signed up not only to learn English but

also to grow in their commitment. I want you to know that every person who signs up is

a valuable member of the community at OnTargetEnglish.com. I’m looking forward to seeing you interacting

with one another, helping each other learn English, and encouraging one another to stay

committed to your goals.

You can interact with one another through comments on our website and on our page on

Facebook. We have also set up a Twitter hash tag. Use the #OnTargetEnglish hash tag to

talk about this 30-day challenge. And search for this hash tag on Twitter to see what other

people are saying.

Second, a 30-day challenge encourages accountability.

What is accountability? Sometimes, when I want to improve something in my life, I tell

other people about it. For example, when I was in graduate school, I was writing my dissertation,

which is a very large project. I told other people about it, and when they would see me,

they would ask, "How is your dissertation going?" That encouragement helped me to keep

working on my project.

You might tell other people about your goal to get better English in one month. Other

people might ask you about it. Maybe, they will see your comments on Twitter, on Facebook,

or at OnTargetEnglish.com. In fact, you can even blog about learning English. Sometimes,

when people want to lose weight, they write a blog for the whole world to see, and they

write about losing weight every day or every week. One person named Julie wanted to improve

her cooking, so she wrote a blog about cooking. Her story actually became a movie called Julie

and Julia.

Third, a 30-day challenge gives you a plan for learning English.

Many people want to learn English, but they don’t know how to start. After you sign

up, you will get an email of English activities every day during the next month. Now, in order

for this event to be successful, you really need to do the activities. These activities

will require from 15 to 30 minutes every day. If you want to spend more time using English,

continue to participate in conversations about the challenge on Twitter, on Facebook, or

at OnTargetEnglish.com.

Fourth, a 30-day challenge can help you to develop good English-learning habits.

Now, I don’t believe that you can become fluent in one month. And I certainly can’t

teach you everything about the English language in one month, even though I can teach you

a lot. But if you participate every day, you might be able to develop good English-learning

habits that can help you to reach fluency later.

I am very excited about the hundreds of English learners who have signed up for English Success

emails. Many of them want teamwork, accountability, a plan for learning English, and good English-learning

habits.

Look at just a couple of the comments that were posted recently:

One visitor wrote, “I am going to study English every day to improve it.”

Another visitor wrote, “I want to improve my English speaking skills. I have subscribed

today on your website. I am eagerly waiting to join your English course . . . ‘English

success’.”

There is an excited and motivated community of English learners at OnTargetEnglish.com.

Will you join them? Will you commit to the 30-day challenge? Enter your email address

on our website.

We look forward to helping you get better English in a month.
