After all, italki is providing a perfect chance  to get you started and stay motivated with the italki 2015 New Years Language Challenge. To help get you motivated, we wanted to show you some of the videos that  our students made  after they completed the last language challenge in October.  Everyone had good things to say about the last challenge and we hope that watching these videos will convince you to participate yourself. Dont miss out on this great opportunity! Lindsay (Japanese): 12 hours in one month completed! An enthusiastic language learner who learned Portuguese through the World Cup Language Challenge, was back for more this past Fall.  Japanese is not an easy language to learn but she put in her hours and made significant gains!  We look forward to seeing what she will be capable of achieving this upcoming year. Before: After: Crystal (Spanish):  12 hours in one month completed! Crystal has been a member on our site for two years now.  She has been diligently working to increase her fluency in Spanish, a language that she absolutely loves!  She took full advantage of the October challenge to do so.  We hope to see her take on the Challenge this January. Before: After: Gregory  (Spanish):  12 hours in one month completed! Gregory challenged himself to improve upon his Spanish this past fall.  A member on our site for little under a year, Greg was able to continue improving his Spanish and describes his fruitful experience entirely in Spanish. If youre not a Spanish speaker, dont worry, there are subtitles!  After such positive words, we expect to see Gregory back for the New Years Challenge. Before: After: Leigh (Spanish and Italian):  12 hours in one month completed! Leigh CRUSHED our  language learning challenge over the summer.  He was back this time not only with the goal of improving his Spanish even further but also with a plan to work on some Italian as well.  He once again continued to improve in both.  Our hats off to Leigh, we cant wait to see what the man from Ireland can do starting in January! Before: After: Vanst  (Chinese):  12 hours in one month completed! Vanst has been a member of the italki community since this past summer.  A speaker of multiple languages already, Vanst is trying to  add yet one more to his repertoire with Chinese!  He made large gains over the short month of October and has recently began offering French lessons on our site as well.  We hope he continues with his Chinese lessons  into the year of 2015! Before: After: *Queued up the English testimonial first* Jan  (Spanish):  12 hours in one month completed! Jan came in to this challenge hoping to increase her confidence in speaking in Español. Needless to say she succeeded in this goal!  Check the videos for yourself,  it is  easy to spot the difference!  We hope to see her come back for the the upcoming challenge. Before: After: William  (Chinese):  12 hours in one month completed! William has now been on our site for about a year and a half studying Chinese.  He had not been taking too many classes until the start of the October Challenge, however.  His Chinese abilities developed greatly over the month of October, a very impressive feat!  Many of our staff members have been learning  Chinese for quite some time now and we realize the difficulty of such a challenging foreign tongue.  We hope he participates in the New Years Challenge. Before: After: *Queued up the English testimonial first* We hope that these videos helped inspire you to take the challenge yourself.  If you make a before and after video yourself, there may be an added reward.  Be sure to stay tuned for more information! 2014 October Language Challenge Before and After Videos Check out Videos of Students Who Completed the October Challenge The New Year is fast approaching.  As 2014 comes to a close, its important to think about your goals and resolutions for the year of 2015.  We hope you remember to put  learning a foreign language on your list.
