Today’s challenge is a little different: I want you to tell me a joke! This will also help you get ready for tomorrow’s live class with me, where we’re going to use jokes in English to work on vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency in a fun way. The joke I shared in today’s challenge was: Why was the picture sent to jail? Because it was framed. 😂😂😂😂 The joke is funny because “frame” has two meanings. A frame is what you put around a picture, but to frame someone also means to falsely make someone look guilty of a crime. So… the picture was literally framed AND supposedly framed for a crime. 😅 For your challenge, you have a few options: 🎥 Record a video telling the joke and explaining why it’s funny. OR Record a video telling the joke and explain the joke in writing. Make sure you check the script attached to this post for some ideas of what you can say. I also included some recommendations for places where you can find more jokes in English, including Google, YouTube, and even AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. You can use the prompt from the challenge to find jokes that are short and easy to understand. And remember: don’t worry about finding the “perfect” joke. The goal is to practice your English, have fun, and challenge yourself to explain something in English. I can’t wait to see all your jokes! And I can’t wait to see you all tomorrow for our live session!

Good morning, everyone! ☀️ I hope you enjoyed the holiday yesterday! It was also a holiday here in the US. Yesterday was “Labor Day” and I got to stay home and spend some time with my family Day 18/56 is here! 🎯 TODAY’S CHALLENGE: Would you rather work from home or work in an office? Tell us what you prefer and, most importantly, WHY. Would you rather have the flexibility of working from home? Or do you prefer the social interaction and structure of an office? 🗣️ Your challenge: Record a video answering the question and give us at least 2 reasons for your choice. And remember: don’t worry about being perfect. Just speak! We also have some new people joining the challenge, so if you’re new here — WELCOME! 👋 See you tomorrow for another day of the challenge!

We’re already on Day 14, can you believe it?! Today we’re going to talk about something fun: something you love to read, watch, or listen to. I talked about my favorite book, but there are so many possibilities! Maybe you want to tell us about: - A book you couldn’t put down - A podcast you listen to all the time - A YouTube channel you’re obsessed with - Something you listen to while driving or working - Something that taught you something valuable - Something that simply makes you happy And seriously, I’m SO happy with the results I’m already seeing here in the community. I’m noticing people speaking with more confidence, taking more risks, and getting more comfortable expressing themselves in English. Keep going! You’re doing amazing! See you tomorrow for Day 15! 🇺🇸🗣️ Remember: Consistency today. Fluency tomorrow. Mackenzie
