[@iamCuC]

i didn't realize there were so many wonderful things in my life until I started journaling at age 21. After 3 years of writing, i switched to English from my native-Chinese(Traditional), and re-learning another language again can describe my experience from a different perspective.

[@annaspeaks373]

I started to journal when I was 7 and got my first my first journal on my birthday. And back then I didn’t know what is journaling but I did it. This year about 6 months ago I started journaling in English and I was surprised that I can write in a beautiful way in English

[@veronika_languagediaries]

Amazing!

[@user-jn7fc7cy9g]

Hi....

[@-hazzem]

I like how you talk about something (people tell us what to do but don't actually tell us HOW to do it?) and make it easy to apply it in real life, this video is worth it, thank you!

[@playmangostingiu2217]

Veronika, I wish to thank you so much, your videos are never useless, I always find something interesting and informative.

[@e-genieclimatique]

in brief: The video discusses the challenges and techniques of writing in a foreign language. 1. **Introduction**: Many people can read and speak in a foreign language but struggle with writing. The video aims to address this challenge. 2. **Proficiency Levels**: Veronika shares her experiences learning English, Spanish, and Chinese. She has varying proficiency levels in each, affecting her writing approach. 3. **Tools Used**: - **Notion Template**: Used for journaling on the computer, especially in English. This also helps improve typing speed. - **Paper Notebook**: Preferred for personal thoughts, especially in her native language, Russian. - **QuillBot**: An online tool that enhances writing by pointing out mistakes and suggesting improvements. It's particularly useful for non-native speakers to refine their writing. 4. **Writing Practice**: - **Choosing a Resource**: To overcome writer's block, Veronika suggests using external resources like KZbin videos or articles as inspiration. - **Translation Tools**: Tools like DeepL and QuillBot's translator are handy for ensuring accurate translations. - **Journaling**: Start by responding to questions or topics from the chosen resource. It's okay to start simple, especially in languages where one's proficiency is lower. - **Learning New Words**: As she writes, Veronika notes down new words and uses space repetition systems to remember them. 5. **Deep Diving into Topics**: Gaining proficiency comes from deeply exploring topics of interest. For instance, if one is interested in nutrition, they should read, write, and converse about it extensively in the target language. 6. **Input vs. Output**: While journaling (output) is essential, Veronika emphasizes the importance of input (reading, listening, watching) in a foreign language. It's often easier and more beneficial to start with input before moving to output activities like writing or speaking. 7. **Conclusion**: Veronika encourages viewers to try QuillBot and emphasizes the importance of consistent practice in improving writing skills in a foreign language. The video serves as a comprehensive guide for those looking to enhance their writing skills in a foreign language, offering practical tips and personal experiences.

Can you make a Video talk about how you learned and practiced Listening skills? I practiced more and more, but I can't listen.

[@biri_ste_]

I always have subtitle in my target language. After I become more like b1-2 level I close subtitles and close my eyes to focus on what they're saying. Otherwise my eyes are always glued on the subtitles bcz of that I slowed down my listening skills in the past. Note: After become an intermediate speaker/learner try a native -target language- videos to focus on things they're saying
