new year, new language challenge 🎉
the goal: starting a new language on the 1st of january (or at least in early january), and sticking with it and working with it consistently for the rest of the year to see how far it gets you
why: personally, i think it will make it easier to track my progress, which is a good motivator for me. also ! it will be fun
who: i’m making this challenge for with my own goals in mind, but anyone who wants to join is encouraged to do so! i’ll be using the tag #nynlchallenge to track my progress, if anyone wants to do the same!
now, finally... the rules (more like ~guidelines~ but whatever)
choose an entirely new language (or one you know very little of)
learning methods can be whatever but (at least for me) the goal is to get a daily average of 15 minutes (but ofc, the more, the better)
by that i mean: life happens, so if there is a day or two a week with no learning/revision, that’s cool. however, try to compensate for this lost time, so that it averages out
before starting the challenge, create a (tentative) list of goals. these can be weekly and/or monthly, and should be as specific as possible – mine is here, if anyone wants some inspiration
keep track of your progress! i recommend using the app mastery (only available for android, i think) or something similar to log every session so you can easily see how much time you have amassed!
write updates when you can! preferably at least once a month!
most importantly (cliché but very true): have fun!!!!! 💖💕💞
if you think this sounds fun/interesting or you want to join, then it would be cool if you reblogged this to spread the word! the more, the merrier, after all!
