About this episode

In today's lesson you'll learn the sentence structures we use for talking about plans and goals, hopes and dreams – with lots of examples.


But first let me ask you: Do you have a plan for improving your English this year?

If you DON'T have a plan...
❌ you won't know what to study
❌ you won't feel like you're making progress
❌ you'll lose motivation

But if you DO have a plan for your English learning...
✔️ it's easier to study consistently
✔️ you'll know exactly what to learn next
✔️ you'll be confident that your English is improving day by day

When you join my Complete Program, you'll get a suggested study plan that takes you from the easier lessons up through the more advanced ones.

Now is the perfect time to sign up at the special January price!
