✨
Remember, you are investing in
yourself AND in your future.
My life as a language learner completely changed when…
- I realised the important of my mindset and attitude towards languages.
- I learned how to create an effective implementation plan to be able to “live” in the language
- I chose to adapt my learning techniques to my own lifestyle.
And that was when I finally achieved confidence in five different languages.

Daphne, Lima
“We focused on mindset so we could be more conscious and aware about our learning processes.“
Irene, Madrid
“Antes de hacer el curso, me sentía un poco desmotivada, estancada en el simple hecho de no poder avanzar […] y a veces necesitas este pequeño impulso, y gracias a Nesh yo lo he conseguido.”
Yaisa, Madrid
“Vais a aprender cómo con pequeños retos diarios, de verdad, tenéis el inglés presente en vuestra vida cada día.”
Victor, Alicante

Every single day during 28 days (except for live class days), you will receive a new pre-recorded video lesson, which you can watch at your own time, with downloadable workbooks and other resources.
You will also have daily challenges to go from theory to action and keep you active in your language journey from Day one.
The 10 live classes will be between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. (Madrid time GMT +1). The days and time will depend on your level! If you can’t attend the live session, the recording of the class will be uploaded to the private community, which you can watch any time.
Are the classes live?
Yes.Well, some of them. This is a hybrid course, meaning that you will receive pre=recorded video classes, which you can watch in your own time, and you will also be able to attend LIVE video call sessions in small groups (maximum 6 people) to be able to practise your speaking skills!
How much is the course? 💶
The original price of the course is €265.
You can make a single payment, or split your payment into 2 instalments, the first one at the time of registration and the second one after the first week.
If you are on the waiting list, you can get a 25% discount code and the price will be only 199 euros.
What materials/apps do I need? 📱
You just need the basics:
- An internet connection
- A computer
- Pen and paper to take notes
- A smartphone that can take video
- Telegram for your desktop (NOT Telegram Web)
- Telegram on your phone
What methods of payment are available? 💳
Credit/debit card payments from all countries are accepted. 💳
You can also pay through two instalments (one at the beginning and other one after a week).
What are the challenges like? 🏆
The challenges are the KEY to this course. All of them are quite simple – they are there just to keep you talking!
Some examples of challenges are:
- Send a photo of yourself with a text introducing yourself.
- Send a video of yourself talking about your weekend plans.
- Debate: What do you think the differences are between accent and pronunciation? (Write a few sentences giving your opinion).
How much time do I need to complete the course? ⌛️
Pre-recorded classes do not expire. You pay a registration fee and you have lifetime access to the material and PLUS, you get a discount for the next editions and upgrades of the course!
What level of English do I need to have? 🧐
To be honest, I’m not a very big fan of “levels”, at least the ones we’re used to using. Language is so complex that we cannot really “label” our level with one word or category. It’s more about out capability to do certain tasks/activities whether it is easy or difficult for us. The objective of this challenge is to make expressing yourself in English as easy as possible for you.
So in other words, you don’t have to worry about your “level”, in this course, it doesn’t matter. Each class will be adapted to your capabilities in order for you to be able to advance and take the next step. You will also be grouped with people who are more or less in the same page as you.
What if I don't understand the lessons? Will there be a Spanish version? 🤔
All lessons will be imparted in English ONLY. I am a great believer of “the more you listen, the more you’ll understand”. This is how I and many of my students have experienced. So no, I will not be talking in Spanish in the lessons (except maybe in the Live Sessions if needed).
BUT! Of course, every pre-recorded lesson will have SUBTITLES. Depending on your level, I will be providing both English and Spanish subtitles for maximum comprehension of the lessons.
This will train you to eliminate the habit of watching dubbed versions of series and films little by little and practise reading subtitles instead!
What if I can't attend a live class? 😭
Don’t you worry, every live class will be recorded and available for you to watch at any time. There also will be two times in the day so there is less chance for you to miss one!
Can I use this course to prepare for an English exam?
The Live and Speak English Challenge is NOT an exam preparation course. We will not look at exam structures nor tips and tricks on how to do exam tasks.
However, you can use this course to your advantage by implementing the knowledge and practices into your exam preparation system. The course will definitely help you with the speaking and listening parts of official English exams as you will be exposed to the language and speak it EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Most importantly, it will help you with your confidence, which plays an important role in your exam performance.
How many students will there be in the class?
For maximum speaking time, each live class will have a maximum of 6 students. There will be other students in the community who would be attending class at another time.
