The Add1Challenge was a popular language learning initiative that aimed to help participants achieve conversational fluency in a new language within 90 days.
Created by Brian Kwong, the challenge encouraged learners to dedicate at least 15 minutes a day to language practice and engage in daily conversations with native speakers or fellow learners.
Participants documented their progress through regular video updates, sharing their experiences, struggles, and victories with the community.

Within the Add1Challenge there are a variety of assignments and challenges set for us. This week Assignment 2 addresses motivation – remember why we started the challenge, and find some creative way to keep that reason in front of us as we study; and secondly, to consider the first two
So the first week of the Fluent In 3 Months Add 1 Challenge #A1C33 has passed (actually, it’s Thursday already, which means we are half way through week two!), and we were asked to review our progress for the week. I discovered in my first face-to-face French conversation lesson that
I have found the best way to learn a language is to set goals – but sometimes, especially when learning a language is somewhat of a hobby, it can be hard to set a goal and stick to it. Unlike making a quilt or a birthday card or a cake,
