1000 Days

1000 Days

By John(jän) Gordon

Today is the 1000th day of our Morning Reading Club. For one thousand days, I’ve shared a new recording with you each and every day. There were a couple of days when the recording was late, and there was even one day when I re-recorded a passage(ˈpasij) that I forgot I’d recorded before, but I never missed a day, and I’m proud of that.

The first recording was done on top of an AirBnB in Kyoto(kēˈōtō), Japan. I was looking out over the city as I recorded, and you could hear the sounds of the city. I’ve made recordings in dozens of cities across the world since then. Hopefully the recording quality has gotten better over time!

I started the Morning Reading Club nearly three years ago based on a simple idea: learning English is simple but not easy, and providing learners(ˈlərnər) with a passage to practice each day would help people move towards their goal of improving their English. I still deeply believe that, and I’m very grateful for the community that has grown up around the club.

Thank you for practicing, thank you for your comments(ˈkämˌent) and messages, and thank you for sharing my articles with your friends so that more people can benefit from the practice we do here!

Remember, the key to learning English is being able to answer yes to the following question: Did you practice English today?

I hope that our Morning Reading Club can help you answer “yes” on more days than not. Keep up the good work!
