Ahaaw niijiidog! I just learned about the #tl90days challenge by @langblrgang and decided to give it a shot. I’m just barely squeaking in for the last day of week 1. 

Challenge A: Read aloud an article

The audio above is me reading a page from the new book Akawe Niwii-tibaajim, a collection of stories by Anishinaabemowin speakers. The story is titled “Gidanishinaabewinikaazowininaan,” meaning “our Anishinaabe names.”

Challenge B: Introduce yourself in your target language

Aaniin gakina awiya, @aanzheni indizhinikaaz, migizi indoodem, gakaabikaang endaayaan. Anishinaabe miinawaa aabitawizhaan indaaw. Niizh ojichaag gaye indayaawaag, gaawiin indikwewisiin gaawiin gaye indininiiwisiin. Ingikinoo’amaagoo noongom gabegikendaasoowigamig, nandagikendamaan ji-gagwe-nitaa-anishinaabemoyaan. Ishkwaa-gikinoo’amaagooyaan omaa niwii-gikinoo’amaage indinwewinan. Maagizha gabegikendaasoowigamigong, maagizhaa ge gaawiin. Gaamashi ingikendanziin  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Target Language 90days... Week 10!

Week 10! Time flies by and here are the next three little challenges.

1: Immersion

Change the settings on your phone or video game to your target language for a day or two (at least!). 

2: Speaking progress

Record yourself reading in your TL. Compare with your first week! :)

3: Motivation

Not necessarily in your TL, tell us why you're learning this/these language(s), what's your motivation, what you like with them... Just a bunch of love here!

As always, don't forget to tag your participation posts with #tl90days, and any of your langblr posts with #langblrgang for us to check them up and reblog them here! Our discord server is right there if you want to make new friends to chat about anything and practice your TL :)

Happy Learning!

Year End Challenge: Week 11

A: Sum up your day in your TL (can be one sentence per day, or more)

B: Watch something! A show, a film, a documentary, with the subtitles or not, in one go, or one bit here and there, just try to watch something in your TL :)

End Of Year Challenge : Last Week

For this very last week, why not reflect back on the progress you made these past weeks? All this year? Where were you when you started, and where are you now? What did you try that worked for you? How far do you want to go next? What do you want to do?

There is no real challenge this week, simply some reflection and planning out the future. A new year is coming, maybe you'd like to decide some new year resolutions or something!

End of the Year Challenge : Week 12

Apparently we dreamed posting it, so here it is... second to last week!

A: Concentration game

Do you use flashcards? try making some and play the memory game, try to find the pairs again! If you don't know the game (or not under this name) here's the Wikipedia page explaining how it works!

B: Grammar time #2

Same as Week 3, if there is a rule you don't really get, focus a bit on it, or learn one you haven't learned at all! Do you know how to form the plural? Use the imperative to give orders? Go ahead, and maybe explain us!

Good luck and have fun, happy Languaging!

There's a #22tlreadingchallenge on twitter: read one book in a target language each month.

I'm going to do a chapter a month instead. My first will be chapter 2 of La hija que no soñaste/No soy tu perfecta hija mexicana.

Which means a new goal for December: get the remaining vocab I noted from chapter 1 into Anki. I had decided to read intensively for that chapter, but it stopped me continuing, because I felt I had to finish with the chapter 1 vocab. So I don't plan to look up everything in chapter 2. Let's see how I tolerate the ambiguity.
