The 12 day challenge

By: Les Holland



What were you doing 12 days ago? Not a lot's changed for me. I'm even in the same argument. Looking at my work, I'm still doing the same things. My desk is still a mess (although I've tidied up that bit .. see .. right there)! I still haven't changed the hallway light bulb.

The point is, 12 days is almost no time at all. So what if, in the next 12 days, you did something really rather interesting? Something that gave you an asset, something interesting to talk about, something that could find you new friends, save you money, and might even get you promotion at work.

So, what if you could learn Spanish in the next twelve days?

I know. Why? For purely selfish reasons .. why else? Spanish is one of the top four languages on the planet, spoken by 400 million people. That's 1 person in every 16, worldwide .. you're bound to meet some of those. And in every meeting there is opportunity.

Learning a language sets you free, you no longer feel boxed in by your own language. You can wander while on holiday, speak with more people, find new business or personal opportunities. But more than that. If you can prove to yourself you can do this in just 12 days .. what else can you do? It's a powerful feeling.

So here's the challenge. Either do this yourself or get together with some mates and find some time, perhaps an hour, each day for the next 12 days, and commit. Say it: I will learn Spanish in 12 days. Mark the twelfth day in your diary. In fact, mark every day up to then with the lesson number.

The course I'm going to recommend, 'Spanish Language Speed Learning Course', is easy enough so long as you can read. There are all sorts of places you can find an hour each day, just for the next 12. Your commute, your lunchbreak, before you go to sleep, or while your partner's watching a tv program you don't want to watch. It's downloadable right now, so you can print out each lesson separately and keep it with you to use up those odd five minutes here and there through the day. Challenge your friends: download the course, print out the first lesson and just turn up with "I'm going to learn Spanish in the next 12 days, who's coming with me?"

After 12 days you'll be able to speak Spanish, but more than that. The beautiful thing about this course is the really solid foundation it gives you.

You know that feeling when you don't know what you don't know? You know you're a novice and you're tentative about what you've done in case you've missed something obvious. Well that won't happen with this course. After 12 days you feel like you do know all the core things you need and can take Spanish in your stride. Anything you learn after will hang neatly onto that foundation. So not only is the course itself quick, it makes future learning much more efficient too.

I'd love to hear how you get along. So what are you waiting for? Download the course, get together with some friends, and in 12 days, let me know how it went. I might even write about you next time.
