Hey everybody! ​I’ve been brainstorming ways to make our community even more active, and I have an idea I want to run by you. ​We already have so much going on with our Livestreams, Challenges, and various series ~ it’s awesome to see this community so active! ​I’m considering adding one more thing to the mix to help with our speaking confidence. It would be called The Speak Up Series. The Idea: ​Instead of just reading and typing, this would be our dedicated space to actually speak. ​The Challenge: Once a week I’ll post a fun or thought-provoking prompt. (it could be a weird question, an unpopular opinion, or a mini-story). ​The Response: You reply with a 30 to 60-second clip sharing your thoughts. Long enough to practice, but short enough to be fun! ​Video or Audio? Feel like a movie star? Go for a video! 🎥 ​Still in your pajamas or haven't brushed your hair? A voice note is 100% okay. 🎙️ (We won't tell anyone you're still in bed!) The Best Part: Don't just post and disappear! Check out the clips from your fellow members and give them a reply. Let's get a real conversation going! 🗣️💬 This is a "Zero-Judgment Zone." We aren't looking for the next Shakespeare or a perfect BBC accent. We just want to hear you talk! If you make a mistake, just laugh and keep going. What's your take on it? I'd love to hear your thoughts.. @Shane Peterson

The Joke: Why did the guy get fired from the calendar factory? He took a day off. ​Why it’s funny: It’s a play on words! ​Normally, "taking a day off" means you didn't go to work. ​But in a calendar factory, if you "take a day off," you literally remove a date from the calendar! ​He wasn't lazy; he was just ruining the product! LOL

Greetings, everyone! I hope you are all doing great and mastering your English with great enthusiasm. I am writing this post to introduce myself and, of course, to improve my skills by seeking community support! My name is quite long, so you can just call me Ali. I am from Pakistan, and I am currently trying to improve my English "especially my speaking" as my pronunciation is a bit weak. Sometimes I feel like I sound silly; I realized this while playing video games online. Every time I meet a native English speaker, they make fun of me. I would love to receive some guidance to help me improve my pronunciation and overall speaking skills!
