#speaking challenge
Hello, everyone! Sorry I’ve been away for so long! I could bore you all with the many reasons my hiatus went on for so long, but I don’t think you’d appreciate it much (and it would be boring for me to write out as well). The important thing to know is that I’m back! Here’s a little rundown of some things I have upcoming for you all:
Coming soon
LingoDeer Korean beta test: I was invited to beta the new, more advanced levels. I’ll get into it and get started on a review as soon as the update drops (should be soon!). For those of you who don’t know, LingoDeer is a language-learning app that started with courses in Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin Chinese and is now branching out into other languages. My initial experience with the Korean course , my experiences startingandcompleting the Japanese course, and my brief dabble into the Chinese course at the request of the developing team were largely positive, and I’m very glad that the team is asking for my input again!
30-Day Speaking Challenge posts: I have decided to participate in the Huggins International 30-Day Speaking Challenge! This is a challenge in which you try, for every day of a month, to speak on a certain topic in the language you are trying to learn. I am focusing on Mandarin because, while my reading and writing are decent-ish, my speaking is not that great. I’m working on it, though—I found a Chinese language meetup in my area, and the others there are absolute GOALS FOR DAYS—and I thought that pushing myself to do this challenge would really help me! I will post MP3 files of my recording for the day, as well as a transcript, here on my site. I might not hit every single day, but I want to try to get at least 15/30 complete.
What about the Korean posts??
I am mostly focusing on Mandarin these days. That said! Korean is a huge part of my daily life, and I will keep on studying that as well. Once I get back into the groove, I will try to put out more grammar posts and article translations. Korean is my number 1 language love <3
Thank you all for being so patient. As always, happy studying!
