Language Learning Challenges to Add to Your Study Routine

[@TrinaLena]

I love this idea! This year I have monthly challenges all planned out and this inspired me for another one. Each week, focusing on one of the four learning systems (reading, speaking etc.) In February I did a tv show challenge. I picked a show and wrote down vocabulary from it and then entered the vocab words into a flashcard system. I'd do one episode per week. And at the end of the week, I'd review all of the words and watch the episode to see how much I comprehended.

Oooh that's great! I love that idea you did in February, that's well-organized!

I would love if you did a video about writing a story in Italian.

[@SheaJordan]

Thanks! Yeah I feel like it would be fun! Challenging, but fun 😂

i love these ideas and i think i'll try the daily speaking challenge! also, if you've never read in other words by jhumpa lahiri, I totally recommend it. it's about the author deciding to basically learn how to write and express herself in Italian, a language she learned as an adult. it might be really good inspo for your writing challenge :) thanks for your great videos!

[@SheaJordan]

OMG someone else recommended her and I forgot to look up her work! Thank you, I definitely want to check her out!

A challenge that I have set for myself is trying to write a blog post in Italian by the end of the year

[@SheaJordan]

Ooh I love that idea!

[@victoriaodwyer9390]

@@SheaJordan I finished writing it the other night. I’ll have to go back and make sure everything is correct and if it’s not, correct whatever is wrong before posting it, but I will get to doing that in the second half of the year.

guys I learned French at school years ago and I can understand native speakers but I can't speak it like I feel there's something stuck I don't know How to Improve my French since I'm not a totally beginner what should I do in this case?

[@SheaJordan]

Yeah this is common, it’s ok! You can use free apps like Tandem or HelloTalk to connect with native French speakers so you can practice with them. Or find an affordable tutor on italki. Or you can at least try writing out sentences to practice. Maybe look up some writing prompts and practice writing responses in French. You can start simple and make more advanced sentences as you get comfortable learning how to speak/write.

[@Jihandahmen04]

​@@SheaJordan yeah I made a plan and I'll stick to it

I don't understand why in America you speak English language and not Italian!! Given that it was two Italians who discovered the Earth that is now called America , first Christopher Columbus and then Amerigo Vespucci !! ( for which Amerca has taken the name of Amerigo ,from Amerigo to America) Consider well the fact that thanks two these Italians you Americans exist today !! Think it was enough that America was discovered a century later and you wouldn't be there today!! So it would be more right that Italian was spoken in America also jn honor of the two Italians who they discovered!! Or alternatively in America you could teach and speak in conjunction with English, Italian!! You are children of Italy don't forget it!!! VIVA l ' Italia , VIVA Europe!!!
