I Swear I Try To Study

[language-aholic]

Idea pitch: What if we started a book club, for language learners who read translations of books. For instance, a French person would read a book in Spanish, a Spanish guy would read the same book in Finnish, and a Finnish dude would read the exact same book in French. Then if one had a problem understanding, they could help each other.

this is a really cool idea, a language learners book club sounds awesome! id be down to start a discord server for something like this if people would want to join

New Langblr

Hi everybody! I decided to start a new Langblr (named committedlangblr in the hopes that it will motivate me) to document my language learning journey.

My native language is English and I’m currently taking classes in Swahili. I’m planning on taking a placement test for Swahili soon, but I would guess I’m in the early stages of being an intermediate speaker. If anyone is interested in learning Swahili (which you should, it’s spoken widely in East Africa!) please feel free to message me.

Since I’m taking Swahili in an actually class and becoming more and more comfortable with it, though I’m far from fluent, I’ve decided to start teaching myself another language. Since I watch kdramas and want to start listening to Koop, I’ve decided that language should be Korean.

My lifetime language goal is to be fluent in 4 or 5 languages. I’ve got one down and a few more to go. I want to be fluent in Swahili, Korean, and a European language, probably French or Italian. Being fluent in more would be amazing but I want to take it relatively slow.

Good luck with your languages and please wish me luck with mine!
