Learning Tagalog by yourself while you are busy is honestly hard to do. But I took the liberty to reset and have a game plan. I'm not gonna try and do all the challenges at once as I am still a newbie. My goal by the end of the month is to at least learn 30 vocabulary. In 6 months, I would like to try one of the langblr challenges.

I downloaded Drops for Tagalog and I'm already quizzing myself the days of the week, months, and numbers. Good start right?

[laurenchristy]

So I am Filipino...but I do not understand my own language >< So I am now turning this tumblr into learning Tagalog blog...aka langblr. My main focus right now is to learn basic stuff like numbers, days of the week, months, etc. And I will be doing the challenges I reblogged!

September Polyglot Challenge

With summer holidays coming to an end and fall business with school and work about to begin, many langblrs find their freetime to learn languages fading into obscurity. Which is why this September, the langblr community is about to get passive with it. 

Well, passive-ish.

The Challenge is quite simple: 

To learn as many songs in your target language(s) as you can throughout the month. You can make playlists based on your current mood, focus on a single artist you like in your target language or even go through one Disney film after the next. 

The main goal: 

To kick back, relax and let yourself get into the rhythm of your target language(s) while simultaneously learning new words and phrases and having fun!

Rules: 

There is no song limit. You do not need to translate the songs or perform them (unless you want to) or do anything other than learn the songs. 

Ideas:

It’s not a contest as to who learns the most songs, so feel free to go at your own pace. My recommendation: Practise memorising at least new 5 songs per week. 

Write out the lyrics by hand to refer to as you learn and to help you remember the songs

Write each line onto a seperate notecard and practice putting them in order - either by ear or from memory!

Practise learning without the lyrics 

Share the songs you’re learning to Tumblr - the more playlists the merrier!

If you like singing, perform a song for langblr!

Learn a song or two in a language you might want to learn in the future but haven’t started yet

Now it’s time to plug in those headphones, crank up those speakers and get started!

Best of luck,

-@polysprachig

Who was that guy you were dancing with tonight? Ken? He’s just a friend, Sam. I didn’t like it, it was embarrassing. You looked like a f*cking whore.

Wish I was strong like you Sally. Even if it was a lie...

No one really checks on here anymore. Let's hope the deactivation process for social media works.

I am worried. I am scared.

It is like I am facing my own problems but they are more in my face instead of hiding and running away.

I just want everything to be ok.
