Hello everyone, I’ve been away for a while again, but hopes you’ll forgive me since there’s a little boy 👼 who needs my love and attention 24/7 🥰

But step by step we’re getting back to you.

I’ve recently discussed the topic of CHALLENGES with one of my lovely students and asked her about the challenge she’d like to take up. What did she say? Learn English Every Day!

That’s what we’re going to do here, too !

🏔I personally like the word challenging much better than hard, difficult, complicated, tricky.

To my mind, it sounds much more positive, it shows that what you’re facing is not easy to do, but it’s possible. When you do / overcome it, it’ll make you stronger and bring you to the next level.

What can be challenging?

a challenging task
a challenging question
a challenging time

🧳 Moving abroad was a challenging decision for me, but I’m happy I did it 8 years ago. It’s been a great experience!

Any other ideas, story related to something challenging?
