Now having a teacher's guidance can make a huge  impact on your learning. Like how in this lesson  

I'm teaching you the most important vocabulary  in the scene to help you to understand it,  

without this guidance then you might end up using  vocabulary and expressions that are not so common,  

sound unnatural or you might even use them  incorrectly. So what if in just a few months  

you could learn to speak confidently  and fluently using correct vocabulary,  

pronunciation and grammar? Well, with our friends  over at Lingoda you can become a Sprint Champion  

and get 100% cashback and access to  the renowned Cambridge speaking test.  

More than 30,000 learners all around the world,  just like you, have taken part in Lingoda Sprint  

Challenges over the last two years. And you can  hear some of their inspiring stories of success  

over on Lingoda's Instagram. In fact, as a  language learner myself I can tell you that it  

is absolutely crucial that you have the guidance  and feedback from a qualified native teacher.  

And one of the best parts about Lingoda is that it  is so flexible, you can take classes any day and  

anytime. So for those of us with busy lives it's  really important to ensure that we don't give up.  

Plus class sizes are really small,  there are never more than five people,  

so you'll get to speak a lot! And they provide  you with all the materials you'll need.  

Sounds exciting, right? Well, let me give  you some more details about the Sprint.  

So it starts on January 15, 2021. Now you can  participate in the Super Sprint, in which you  

take 30 classes a month for three months, and  if you don't miss a class you'll get 100% of  

your money back. Or you can take part in the  Sprint which is less classes and you'll get 50%  

back. You can take English or Business English as  well as several other languages and it's open to  

learners of all levels. So what are you waiting  for? Spots are limited and you have to sign up
