30 Days of Speaking Languages
I saw @fremmedsprak talking about a 30 day speaking challenge, which I though would be a very cool thing to do. It turned out to be something from a site you need to sign up to and stuff, which I didn’t really feel like. So I thought why not create a specific challenge like this on tumblr! You can do one language for a whole month, a different language every day, all of your target languages every day: you decide! If you don’t like a topic, just make one up yourself. You can make this as short or long as you want (I tried to come up with questions you can do both with). Have fun!
How long have you been learning your TL? How did you choose to start learning it?
Do you prefer books or movies? Why? Which books/movies are your favorite?
What’s your favorite study method?
What’s your favorite way to relax?
What music do you listen to in your target language(s)?
What would you do if you had one million euro/dollar/…?
Have you ever been to a country where your TL is spoken? If yes, where did you go and how did you like it? If no, would you want to go and do you have any places you absolutely want to visit there?
Talk about someone you look up to.
Do you have any languages you want to learn later? Which and why?
How do you commute to your school/job? Is it easy? Would you like to try out another mean of transport?
What’s a field besides languages you’re interested in? Talk about some things you know about it!
Do you believe there is more between heaven and earth than we can see? Why (not)?
What’s a thing you passionately hate?
What’s a thing you passionately love?
Do you think your TL has a particularly hard pronunciation? Do you think pronunciation is very important or is it usually the last thing you focus on?
Do you have any inside jokes with your friends? Nicknames?
What’s a present you’d love to get for Christmas?
Languages are never easy to learn, but what do you think is the “easiest” you’ve ever learned? If you’ve only ever learned one language, do you think it was a particularly hard or easy one? Did it make you want to learn more languages?
Cats or dogs? Motivate your choice.
What do you find more difficult to learn: vocabulary or grammar?
What’s your favorite city?
If you ever won a prize, what would it be for?
Who are your favorite langblrs? Talk a bit about them, why do you like their blogs so much?
Is your desk usually very neat or are you that disorganized person? Do you think it’s important to have an organized and neat desk?
What do you like about your home country? What don’t you like? Would you like to move to another country?
What’s your favorite season? What’s the best temperature?
What’s your favorite study app/website? How does it work?
