Day 1 of Winter Studying Challenge

🎄 1st December: Do you like winter?

I do and I don't. I'm not a fan of the coldness or the darkness.

But when you get away from all that, the comfort of warm blankets and a cup of tea of cocoa, a good book... you feel that comforting, warm sensation all the more. I look forward to Christmas too, the lights and the cheer will keep me going through December.

It's January and February I struggle with.

New words, Turkish:

olmak= to be; to become; to get; to happen

lezzetli= delicious

iğrenç= disgusting

harika= awesome; wonderful; great

süt= milk

meyve suyu= juice

sos= sauce

tereyağı= butter

Studied and reviewed Memrise words.

Here is my brand new challenge! So many people have asked if I would be doing it again this year and I really hope you will all enjoy doing it! I’m so excited to get to know you all through the posts and celebrate winter with you!

❄️ Info ❄️

If you do the challenge, use the tag #winter studying challenge so I (and others) can see your posts. I will try to reblog as many posts in the tag as possible.

This challenge will run for 6 weeks - from the 1st December to the 14th January

There are daily prompts for every day of the challenge

But, as always, I don’t expect everyone to be able to post every day so you can always do catch-up posts!

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an ask!

❄️ Rules ❄️

If you want to do the challenge, please reblog this post

If you do it on any other social media platform (ie. Instagram), please give credit (my instagram | my tiktok | my pinterest)

The challenge will officially start on the 1st December, but if you come across this later, you can definitely start anytime during these six weeks!

DISCLAIMER: Quite a few of the prompts in December are to do with Christmas because that is what I celebrate at this time of year. I was very aware of that when I was writing the prompts but I did not think that I knew enough about other festivals and holidays at this time to write prompts about them. I did not want any prompts I made to be disrespectful. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, please know that this challenge is still for you! You can either just use the prompts anyway (if they are applicable) or adapt them to fit the festival or holiday that you celebrate. If it is impossible to adapt, then simply tell me about what you celebrate during winter because I am excited to learn about them!

I’ve found a really good way to study a language and all it takes is a smart phone and some form of text in your target language. 1) Novels, preferably books that are in your language on one page and your target language on the other just so you can double check your translation and 2) Google translate with the microphone function.

I do a page or half a page at a time, depending on my attention span, and I read the text into the translator and have it translate what I say into English. That way I can practice reading Russian quickly, Russian pronunciation, and absorbing Russian vocabulary all at the same time. The key to this is obviously consistency, which I’m still working on, but it’s a very easy and effective way to practice speaking it out loud without requiring a speaking partner.
