A1 fits the casual moments:
- texting a coworker: "can you check the file real quick"
- group chat after a bug: "anyone find the issue yet?"
- telling a friend: "we finally fixed it at 2am"

C1 fits the formal moments:
- a written bug report to a client: "Our engineers will examine the affected modules"
- a spoken investor update: "We were able to locate and resolve the issue within four hours"
- an SLA contract clause: "The system shall display error codes in real time"

Both sides are valid. Which side do you find yourself in more often when you're using English for tech?

I understand English, but I can't speak it.

So many of you have written exactly this to me in the comments.You watch, you read, you understand almost everything, and then a real person asks you something and your brain just freezes. The words are right there, but they won't come out.

That's why I created this challenge, to actually SPEAK the language.

All seven videos are already out. So go watch them, practice speaking. Start with Day 1 ⬇️

For the next seven days, there's a brand new video on my channel every! single! day! Each one is a real English conversation that you speak out loud at the same time as the characters.
The goal is simple: no more freezing when it's your turn to speak.
Day 1 just went up. Comment "I'm in" so I know who's in this with me.

Guys, I was honestly blown away by your comments under my latest video.

I asked you to reply with where you’re from… and we got more than 500 comments from 64 countries. 🤯

India, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan, Brazil, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Colombia, Indonesia, Japan, the US, Australia, Germany, the UK… and so many more.

Seeing this map made me emotional. It’s still crazy to me that I can sit down, record a video, and someone on the other side of the world is watching, learning, and being part of this community.

Thank you so, so much for being here.
Thank you for watching, commenting and supporting me throughout all these years.
