The 90 Day Challenge works best when you are accountable to a third party. We offer this service.
1. Definition of Comprehensible Input
Language input that learners can understand even if they don't know all the words and structures.
2. Role in Language Learning
Comprehensible input helps learners acquire language naturally.
3. Importance of Compelling Input
Compelling input keeps learners engaged and motivated.
4. Input-Based Approach
Emphasizes massive input through listening and reading.
5. Robert Farmilo's Theory
Advocates for input slightly above the learner's current level to promote natural language acquisition --- and unexpected exposure to simulations of real world interactions with both native and non-native English speakers. Add in some content that bewilders the student. Use that to break apart into little bits. Establish pattern recognition and pattern imitation. Yeah, there's more to the theory.
6. Effectiveness of Massive Input
Proven effective for language learning; reading and listening are key activities.
7. Ease of Access
Can be done anywhere, anytime using modern technology.
8. Minimizing Mistakes
Focus on listening and reading reduces the fear of making mistakes.
9. Interest-Driven Learning
Encourages learners to engage with content that interests them.
10. Cost-Effectiveness
Input-based learning is cheaper than traditional classroom learning.
11. Massive Input Strategy
Ensure 90% comprehension before advancing to more complex material.
12. Content Selection
Tailor content to different fluency levels using various platforms.
13. Adaptation of Methods
Adjust activities based on proficiency, from simple stories to complex academic discussions.
14. Integrated Practice
Blend different skills in daily routines to build confidence and fluency.
15. Reflection and Future Planning
Reflect on progress, set goals, and plan next steps after the 90-day challenge.
I hope this gives you a nice sense of the intensity of the 90 Day Challenge, and maybe a sobering moment before you begin.
Yes, begin your deliberate immersion into the English language, 24 hours a day for 90 days. Self-imposed. By you.
The obvious exceptions to this 24 hour immersion program are when it is inappropriate to communicate ONLY in English.
There will be many instances over the 90 days that you will use your own native language.
The 24 hour immersion for 90 days begins with you surrounding yourself with English only content in the places that you can.
LABEL EVERYTHING
>>>Label Everything Workout<<<
This includes sticking name tags on different parts of your room, and the objects in your room. You can stick a to label everything in your entire home.
YES, THERE'S MORE.
The 24 hour immersion program includes a radical technique of deliberately thinking in English.
This is where the real work waits for you. And here is a link to get you started with this technique.

Yes, there's more. A lot more.
- Three fluency tests, all results, the questions and the answers you gave, and which tests you took.
- Your online intake interview with Robert Farmilo.
- Prepare a handwritten note in English. Subject?
Subject lines for handwritten English language short essays
- Make a note at the bottom of your page or on a separate page of the word you can't remember but in your own, native language.
- Now find the English word that matches.
- Use that word in your essay and in your word list at the bottom of the page of on a separate page.
