Focus: Vocabulary boost

Let's end the course with some short and easy informal expressions that you often hear in movies to: greet, invite, offer, request, apologise, congratulate, express gratitude, and offer condolences.

Step 1:

Watch the video lesson and do the exercise two or three times.

Now, let's test your reflexes!

Download the ZIP file below, and repeat the exercise using the Audio file without the help of the video or the PDF.

Focus: Dictation

Let's end the week with a dictation to see how well you hear the structures you've activated this week.

Follow these steps:

1. Download the ZIP file.
2. Listen to the complete Audio once without looking at the PDF transcript.
3. Start the Audio again.
4. Listen to each sentence two or three times, stop the recording, and write down the sentence.
5. Move on to the next sentence.
6. When you've written the whole text down, compare your script with the PDF transcript.

Step 3:

When you feel you've fully mastered the informal expressions in this lesson, take the quiz.

You need to get a minimum score of 80% in each quiz to receive your Certificate of Completion, so repeat the quiz until you score above 80%. You can take each quiz up to 10 times.

You’ve done it! You've completed your challenge!

Don't worry if it took you longer than 90 days. What's important is that you stayed motivated and kept going. I'm very proud of you!
