August Challenge – Vocabulary Boost! In this episode, Andrew and Alina introduce the August Challenge, happening on our Discord server. This month, you'll focus on expanding your vocabulary by learning and using 15 advanced adjectives that have been featured in Culips episodes. It's a great way to make your English sound more colorful, expressive, and natural like a native speaker. The challenge runs every second day throughout August, giving you time to really understand each adjective and practice using it in your own stories, example sentences, or voice messages. These include words like “remiss,” “palpable,” “low-key,” and “fancy schmancy” – words that native speakers use regularly but English learners often skip over when listening. Andrew and Alina also chat about Alina's new hobby: chess! She recently learned to play at age 31 and has been winning games at her local expat board game meetup in Ireland.
