One Year of Languages

Going to try @amillionlanguages' One Year of Languages challenge, here are my rough goals for 2022!

January: Spanish

February: Arabic

March: Swedish

April: ASL

May: Russian

June: Czech

July: Northern Sami

August: Japanese

September: Hungarian

October: Mandarin

November: Serbo-Croatian

December: Yiddish

My alternatives are: French, German, Swahili, Catalan, or going back to Portuguese.

My daily goals are:

Do at least one lesson each day at the minimum

Watch or read educational content (on pronunciation, grammar, culture, etc.)

Try to write and/or speak a few sentences

Listen to music or watch non educational videos in target language (probably not every day but still frequent)

And an optional goal is to play a game with at least the ui in a target language! Can't do it with all of them of course but Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and Mandarin I feel will have plenty of games translated to them :)

Hey everyone! Here are some of my goals this December since today is the first day of the month! I’m going to try posting more often on here to get in the habit of it, and try to do the 100 days of productivity challenge starting next quarter in January if all goes well this month!

Post on my studyblr every day! :P

Work on learning Esperanto every day

Make at least 5 posts on my langblr about the #1yearoflangs challenge

Study at least 3 hours a day until the end of finals

Talk to at least 3 people other than my partner every day

Leave my apartment for at least 2 hours every day (even if that’s just going to the library!)

Get all my studying done before 9 pm each day and then spend the rest of my evening working on art and relaxing

Get at least 7 hours of sleep every night

Be conscious and intentional about relaxing and practicing self care during winter break

Come up with ideas for 2 or more children’s books that I could make for my next project

If you feel inspired by any of these or have some ideas for your own goals this month, comment them!!! I’d be really interested to hear some of your goals, too!

Portuguese update

So...I was hospitalized earlier this month, and I’m just getting my energy back. Unfortunately, that means I didn’t get as far as I would have liked with Portuguese. I do feel like I’ve at least laid the groundwork for future study. The hardest part was mastering the pronunciation. That was always my biggest obstacle in studying Portuguese in the past. I’m happy that I finally pushed through, and that will have to be enough for now.

On to next month’s language. I played around a bit on Duolingo, and Swedish has sparked joy! I will be using Duolingo to pick up the basics. Luckily, I already know some swedish music. Bring on the Garmarna! Does anyone have recommendations for YouTube channels or tv shows I can stream?

I've decided to do German this month, my brain is really soaking it up right now so I think it will be easy and not too stressful for now, which I think I need right now.
