I have a very special lessons series that I put together to get motivated and excited to make HUGE progress with your English in 2021!

This year, 2020, has been a very challenging year for many of us including me. Personally, I had very little time to work on my language (Spanish)... And unfortunately, I lost some of my progress and my level has decrease A LOT :(

I know many of you are in the same situation and I wanted to create this 4 lessons series to talk about my strategy to get back on track and make quick progress to regain what I have lost of my language skills. These are the 4 topics I'll be focusing on:
Listen to Part 1: Kickstarting Your English - Identify your reason to speak English well, the first steps to take, and setting a clear focus for the next 90 days.
Part 2: Navigating the Path to Fluency - From intermediate to advanced and beyond to fluency is a very complicated and confusing part of language learning. I'll explain how to handle this and keep you focused on the most important things.
Part 3: Getting in the Habit of Being Consistent - This episode you are listening to!
Part 4: Breaking out of Low-Motivation - The trick to quickly restoring your motivation and making quick progress that you can feel.

Hey, everybody, this is Amy from Realenglishconversations.com. And today I'm just releasing this quick audio message for you because you are a podcast subscriber. You're somebody who has taken the time to sign up and follow our podcast so that you can get every single episode. But a lot of you are not email subscribers at our website. Many of you are just listeners of the podcast. And I know that you enjoy listening to these podcasts, but the only way that I can communicate with you is through this podcast.

OK, so what could possibly be so exciting that I'm willing to record a podcast episode just to tell you about it? And here's what it is. I've been working on something for the past three months and I wanted to make sure that the people that have been following us subscribe to us on YouTube, through the email, through our podcast, that you guys had early access to try it, because we know that our supporters are the ones that really help us to do what we're doing.

So I want to give you the opportunity to be the first ones to try this brand new awesome thing that we've just created. And don't worry, it's completely free. So you just need to follow a few specific steps. Number 1.  This offer is only going to be available for three days. And what you need to do is to go to our website at https://realenglishconversations.com/earlyaccess/ , all one word, early access. And there you're going to have the opportunity to register for our waiting list.

And this is because what I'm building right now is so new, I still have a few final touches that need to be done before it's ready for you to try it. If you take the time to register, I'm going to have your email address and be able to send you an official notification with the specific instructions of what you need to do to register your free account and to get access to try some of the lessons from each of our courses.

First of all, what are the levels we have? The Brave Beginner, the Inspired Intermediate and the Confident Communicator.

Obviously becoming a Confident Communicator in English is your final goal, and it's our goal to help you to get there. We've created the courses and the levels that are going to take you step by step from one level to the next to reach that goal.

Let me explain one of the newest features that we're actually adding to the member area. And this is the REC Member Cafe.
