Never forget a Speaking Session again ⏰
I get WhatsApp reminders for my own Chinese conversation sessions, and they've been really useful. So I've set up the same thing for our Speaking Sessions. 📅 WHAT YOU'LL GET The month's schedule, once a month. A reminder on the day of each session. 🤫 WHAT YOU WON'T GET Chat, spam, or strangers with your phone number. Only I can post. Tap here to get WhatsApp Reminders: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BKJGtl57VaBKK65Y5tsAMx P.S. The reminder links to the calendar here on Skool, so you join the session the same way as always. If you have a question, you can message me directly on WhatsApp too.

Introducing: Speaking Diaries
Starting today, we have a new tab for all your thoughts, experiences, wins, and losses on your English speaking journey. As a little incentive, I'll give you a free 30-minute 1:1 session with me if you post a speaking diary at least once a week for 4 weeks in a row. Not bad, eh? You can use the following prompts for inspiration: ❓ What session/s did you attend? Did you speak outside the My English Habit community? ❓ Who did you speak to? 👍 One thing that went well 👎 One thing that was hard 💡 Anything you will try differently next time Simple as that. Drop your first entry below whenever you're ready. P.S. They don't need to be long. A few honest lines are plenty and great for others to read too.

Track Your Speaking Progress with Your Personal SPEAKING CARD 🃏
I've been quietly building this for a few weeks, and it's finally ready: your own Speaking Progress Card. 🃏 WHAT IT IS This is how we're going to track your progress in speaking. You'll rate your own confidence, fluency, and clarity out of 10 at specific intervals, which will appear on a card like the one in the photo. Each time you do, your card updates with your latest score next to your very first one, so you can actually see how far you've come instead of just taking my word for it. I'll send the questions to each of you automatically when it's time to update your card. You can also turn your own photo into a cartoon avatar, using a ready-made ChatGPT prompt on the card page. 🥋 THE LEVEL SYSTEM Your level is based on hours of sessions attended, with a belt colour for each one (yes, like karate): ⚪ Fresh Start — 1 hour 🟡 Warming Up — 5 hours 🟠 Finding Your Voice — 10 hours 🟢 Steady Speaker — 25 hours 🔵 Stretch Zone Regular — 50 hours 🟣 Real-World Ready — 100 hours 🟤 Pressure-Proof — 200 hours ⚫ Battle-Tested Speaker — 400 hours If you did 1:1 lessons with me before, message me and I'll add them to your total. 👉 my-english-habit-cards.netlify.app. Enter the email you joined with. Go make your card and add it to the chat below. I can't wait to see yours! P.S. Yes, I gave myself all 10s! 😝

Powerful Pauses 🤫: Wednesday 30th at 7 pm
In today's public speaking session we'll practise using silence to clear our minds and recover our direction. Because a pause when speaking is like finding a port in a storm. You stop, wait for the storm to pass, then carry on in calmer waters. If you have either of these problems when speaking, this session is for you: 😳 rambling (talking and talking without reaching the point). 😳 getting flustered (panicked and confused), so you let someone else take over. Pausing also helps you project confidence. And a well-timed pause can keep your audience on the edge of their seats waiting for your next words.

Powerful Pauses 🤫: Wednesday 30th at 7 pm
🎤 Summary: This Week's Public Speaking Session
- 💬 Name: Say "No" To Monotone - 🎮 Game: Conductor - 📝 1-Minute Summary: Patricia, Buddy, and Luz attended today to practise using the full range of expression of their voices in English... at least that was the plan. But after a few rounds each of the game we realised that we needed more practice of the skills we practiced in the last session, 'Think Fast, Speak Fast'. Conductor is quite a complex game that requires you to deliver a speech in 60 seconds while varying your intensity level. In fact, Ultraspeaking, the public speaking trainers behind this game offer 3 separate 60-minute sessions in week 1 just to practice these skills. For the 2nd half of today's session we continued practising the games from Think Fast, Speak Fast. - 📝 Test Month Notes: Next time I'll consider offering more Think Fast, Speak Fast sessions before adding the Say "No" To Monotone session type. - 🎤 Challenge: try the game yourself. - 💬 Community: On a scale from 1-10, what is your normal range of intensity when speaking? (I'm a 3-6). Write your answer in the comments.
