How to Win Free English Lessons!
If you have been into the Intrepid English Community recently, you have probably seen some intriguing, colourful badges. Well, these badges are more than just fun stickers; they are rewards for our wonderful students for making progress in English and being excellent members of the Intrepid English Community.
We want to encourage our Intrepid English learners to learn consistently because that’s when they make the most progress in English. That’s why these badges are worth points. The more engaged you are, the more points you win. And those points can be used to buy free English lessons!
In this blog, I’ll guide you through the Intrepid English Badges so you can start learning and earning!
Did someone say FREE English lessons?
Absolutely! Each badge is worth a number of points which you can use to buy free English lessons. The bigger your achievement is, the bigger your reward will be.
300 points = a free 30-minute lesson
600 points = a free 60-minute lesson
To redeem your points, just send us a message through the Chat Box.

Congratulations to this system: a real system of motivation. I award Interprid the badge: Motivational Guru of the Year.????????????
Thank you Richard! Your energy and positivity really make this community something special ????
You really make it seem so easy with
your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I
think
I would never understand. It seems too complicated and
very broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
Hi Adewale, I’m sure you’ll be able to get the hang of our badge system! Try posting in our community and see if you can earn one ????
