Are you ready for an italki challenge to push your language-learning forward in 2015?
Today, learn how to take action and bet on yourself with an amazing opportunity!
 
Every challenge you face is like putting a bet on yourself.  But the only way to really lose is if you don’t even try.
This month, the <a href="http://promos.italki.com/allearsenglish/" target="_blank">italki.com</a> Language Challenge can help you improve your English in a serious way.  A $10 sign up fee gets you into the game.  If you can complete 20 lessons (20 hours) with an online teacher by the end of February, italki will pay you $40 back in credit.
This comes out to 3-4 lessons per week.  Can you handle that?  Essentially, you are placing a bet on your commitment to learning English!
 
Three reasons to participate in a language challenge:
Motivation: All of us need to be pushed sometimes, and there’s never better time than NOW!
Defining your goal: Learning English is a lifetime project, but having defined goals will bring clarity to your progress.
Social experience: Even though you could do this by yourself, being accountable to others will focus you and help you follow through to the end.
 
Ready for the challenge?  Sign up at <a href="http://promos.italki.com/allearsenglish/" target="_blank">allearsenglish.com/italki</a>.
