Often, at the beginning of the year, we set goals, we reflect on what we want to achieve in the coming year.

Gerund

And for a lot of you, that means working  on your English language skills.

And so, to help you do that, to jumpstart your January,

I’m offering discount codes to my online  school and for my book.

So if you're not familiar with it, my online  school Rachel’s English academy,

is a place where you can really work on listening comprehension and pronunciation, accent reduction.

You're breaking down every sound, you're breaking down every concept in American English.

You're learning about it, and you're training it like crazy so that you get it into your body.

The book is everything I know about the best way to teach American English pronunciation.

290 pages it's written for students but it  also works well for teachers.

It organizes many, many of my free you tube videos.

It also comes with downloadable audio and of course, there's a lot of text and photos.

That's for 5 dollars off your first month of the academy if you sign up for a monthly subscription.

I’m also offering a discount code for the annual subscription, that's something I've never done before,

but I’m offering $50 off your first year if you sign up for an annual subscription.

And then I've never given a discount this deep on my book but I’m selling my book for a discount of just $15,

it's usually $37, for just this first week of January.

I’m going with alliteration in this video.

The other thing I want to do with this video is ask you what are your goals for 2019?

Let me know in the comments below  videos you'd like to see or kinds of videos,

anything that's confusing to you about American English pronunciation, or conversing with Americans

and I’m going to read every one of those comments,

and I’m going to use those as I’m brainstorming my 2019 videos.

Now I already have a couple things planned out.

Let me tell you one thing that I’m doing is  a new YouTube learning initiative.

It's a new platform they're rolling out on YouTube that has more course-like structure to the videos.

And I’m doing one on interviewing for jobs in America.

It's going to be really comprehensive and part of what we're going to do with that is study how we talk about

ourselves, our work history, how we deal with conflict, all sorts of questions you might get asked in a job interview,

and those are going to be relevant for conversational English.

So the great thing about this video series, this course, is it's not just relevant to those who are looking for a job but

it's relevant to anybody who's going to be  conversing in American English

because often what we do in   conversation is we say: what do you do? Or

we ask people questions about them,  their work, about themselves.

So you'll be learning the phrases that you might use to have those kinds of conversations.

I also want to let you know what's coming up here in January. There are four more Tuesdays.

And I’m doing a series two on shoes and two on weather.

It's a vocabulary video and then an idioms video.

So you're going to be learning all sorts of new vocabulary words and also phrases,

idioms we use when talking about the weather, or idioms that have to do with shoes, like

'big shoes to fill' and this kind of thing.

So make sure you're tuning in every  Tuesday in January to catch those videos.

Don't forget, every Tuesday in 2019, I make a new video I release it at around 10:00-10:30 on Tuesday morning,

So come check it out and let's do this together.

2019 is all about you improving your American English pronunciation and listening comprehension skills.

And to close this video, I’m going to go with another F.

Favorite, and I’m going to show you my favorite video of 2018, of last year just in case you missed it.

I don't know. There were a lot of good ones.

I think I chose this because I had so much fun the weekend that I made this video.

So please check out this video that I  made a weekend in New York City.

And I was hanging out with my husband and one of my very best friends, Renee,

and we went over some words that you  might use with traveling.

Some vocabulary words for traveling,  relating specifically to hotels.

That's it and thanks so much for using Rachel’s English!

Today we’ll study some travel vocabulary phrases together as you come with me for a weekend

You’ll learn phrases and vocabulary that you might use at a hotel, like ‘amenities’ or ‘incidentals’.

We’ll order room service together and enjoy some amazing views.

And then about an hour after I booked, I booked an upgrade.

I’m sure you’re very familiar with the noun  version of this word, book,

but it’s also a verb which means to reserve something.

I booked a hotel room, you could also  book a table at a restaurant.

You could book a venue for your wedding, or a concert venue could book an act or band.

The bar around the corner booked my friend’s band for Friday.

So both the noun ‘book’ and the verb ‘book’ are pronounced exactly the same.

And then about an hour after I booked, I  booked an upgrade.

For example, if you’ve had your cell phone for a while, and it’s a bit slow, you might want to get an upgrade.

On a flight, you might be upgraded from  an economy to a first class seat.
