JOUR 8 - LANGBLR REACTIVATION CHALLENGE Over the next week, create a playlist/playlists of songs in your target language(s), they can either have a specific mood or genre or they can be a collection of songs you’ve discovered.
Il est facile de faire une pause au milieu du semestre :) Mais, il est plus valorisant de continuer malgré l'envie de renoncer ! Ne pas prendre la voie de la facilité, donc cette semaine, je vais me concentrer sur la refonte d'une playlist basée sur de la vieille musique française (inspirée des années 60) que j'avais abandonnée.

Day 6: Look up 3 idioms in your target language and explain what they mean and how you use them in a sentence
La première phrase qui m'est venue à l'esprit est "il pleut des cordes" - it's raining cats and dogs (literally translated as it is raining ropes).
"Je désire faire du bronzage tout à l'heure"
" Tu rigoles ? Il pleut des cordes ! "
En cherchant l'origine, j'ai aussi trouvé une nouvelle expression dont je n'avais jamais entendu parler, il tombe des hallebardes (weapons are falling). Je pense que celle-ci décrit mieux les fortes pluies, elle a une telle imagerie visuelle. Non seulement il pleut, mais en plus c'est médiéval ! Il tombe des hallebardes !
Le troisième est un classique que j'ai appris grâce à la chanson d'Angèle très populaire en 2018, La Flemme. J'étais en France pour la première fois quand il était sorti et j'ai dû comprendre ce que mes camarades m'ont dit tous les temps.
"Sortir c'est pour les nuls, t'façon j'ai pas la thune,
Je reste avec moi-même et j'ai la flemme"

JOUR 5 - LANGBLR REACTIVATION CHALLENGE
Notre film de la semaine est Pierrot le Fou.
Ça concentre sur deux idiots qui tombent amoureux et fuyez ensemble. Il y a cinq ans, j'ai rebloggé un GIF de ce film, en disant "That's what makes me sad; life is so different from the books". Les thèmes sont l'ennui, le changement, et surtout les clopes.
Mon Dieu, je ne savais pas qu'il y avait de yellowface dedans, ça me rende triste de percevoir un telle chose, même dans le contexte.

Day 2: Write a list of goals you have for your target languages. Make both long term and short term goals. An overall goal could be to have the ability to talk with native speakers with ease and a smaller goal would be to finally learn that difficult grammar point that’s been plaguing you for ages. How will you achieve them?
JOUR 2 - LANGBLR REACTIVATION CHALLENGE
* l’un de mes buts pour améliorer est la vitesse dont je parle, car je n’ai pas trop pratiqué depuis que ma coloc française est partie au nouvel an.
* à court terme, c'est de m’engager dans tous les domaines de ma vie. oui,  je fais mon putain de duolingo, mais il est insuffisant si mon parcours linguistique est stagnant
* suivre les groupes de conversation chaque jeudi dans la société ! parce que j’étais une responsable de l’année dernière, je ne voulais pas entendre “quel majeur fais-tu ?” mille fois ... maintenant il y a moins de pression sur moi d’être si bavarde, je peux m’asseoir et écouter plus tranquillement. 
* je veux apprendre le français plus professionnel, car je ne parle qu'en français FAMILIER. cela inclut l'apprentissage de grammaire... j’ai pris living in the moment trop sérieux pour une vie.
* bien sûr, vivre en france est le but ultime de faire tous mes cours en français, pourquoi rater une opportunité comme ça en apprenant les cours en anglais. j’ai commencé déjà à écrire mes notes de lecture en franglais mais il est utile d’écrire les nouveaux mots sur memrise pour m’aider

JOUR 1 - LANGBLR REACTIVATION CHALLENGE
hello langblr !!
je m’appelle twig et je crois que je suis le seul dinosaure de mon équipe qui utilise encore le tumblr ...
voici quelques informations sur moi - désolée d'avance pour l’utilisation de “j’ai”
je suis la présidente de la société française à ma fac et donc je suis toujours en train de chercher et de partager des ressources pour apprendre !
je suis bilingue, mais je me suis inscrite à l’école mandarine pendant des années quand j’étais jeune, tout que j’ai oublié.
j’ai un macbook canadien que j’ai acheté pour avoir le clavier QWERTY mais avec tous les accents français. c’était effrayant en attendant que mon collier soit livré de milliards de kilomètres de chez moi !
je veux habiter en france pour un séjour linguistique, mais je ne sais pas si j’ai assez de notes pour réussir !
ce semestre, je prends seulement un cours en français, car j’ai terminé toutes les formations de la langue - et ce qui reste sont des matières de culture ou littérature. c’est axé sur les polars, le genre littéraire comme les policières. j’avais un engouement d’enfance pour Agatha Christie et j’adore les thèmes sombres…

Langblr Reactivation Challenge
Hello everyone! As you may know I've created this challenge to help revive the langblr community. It's a three week challenge designed to get you back into learning languages and (hopefully) give you ideas on how to study and share your knowledge of them. It is completely optional to do, but try to reblog other people's posts if you aren't participating.
The challenge is designed to be done daily, however if you miss a day, you can go back and do it later or continue from where you left off. I do encourage you to do your best to keep up with the challenge though. Tag your posts with #langblr reactivation challenge so that others can find your posts.
If you have any questions, please send me an ask or a message and I'll do my best to answer it.
I'll put the prompts under a read more so this post isn't ridiculously long. Good luck to everyone participating! Remember the best way to promote the langblr revival is by reblogging other people's work.
Week 1
Day 1: Create an introduction post about yourself. What's your name? What languages are you studying? What languages do you hope to study? What do you hope you'll get out of this challenge? Add whatever else you’d like to your introduction post!
Day 2: Write a list of goals you have for your target languages. Make both long term and short term goals. An overall goal could be to have the ability to talk with native speakers with ease and a smaller goal would be to finally learn that difficult grammar point that's been plaguing you for ages. How will you achieve them?
Day 3: Create a list or a Mindmap of vocabulary topics. Start with a broad topic and narrow down to more specific topics. An example could be bedroom - furniture - closet - clothes or travelling - languages - study words - school supplies. Keep a hold of this because you'll use it later to create vocab to study. Some broad topics to start with: house, school, work, travelling, friends and family, nature, city. Feel free to use these or think of your own. Share your mindmap so others can get some ideas if they need it. Here are some mind map creation tools (x) (x) (x).
Day 4: Create a vocab list for one of the topics you created yesterday, if you want to make more, feel free to make as many as you like! Share your list and reblog other people's lists. And most importantly, make sure you study these words!
Day 5: Find a video in your target language and watch it as many times as you need to in order to understand it. Make a post about the video. What was it about? Did you like the video? Was it difficult to understand? Make sure you link the video. Try to write your answers in your target language, but if you can’t that’s okay!
Day 6: Look up 3 idioms in your target language and explain what they mean and how you use them in a sentence (with an example!).
Day 7: Send asks to other langblrs (bonus points if it's in a shared target language!) asking them about whatever (for example, ask how their day was, ask questions about their target languages, or share some of your thoughts with them). If you receive one, answer it! You can ask more than one person and it can be on or off anon.
Week 2
Day 1: Over the next week, create a playlist/playlists of songs in your target language(s), they can either have a specific mood or genre or they can be a collection of songs you've discovered. When you feel like you're done with your playlist, share it so others can find some new songs. If you already have a playlist, you can add songs to it and update it.
Day 2: Write an explanation on a grammar rule in your target language (such as verb tenses, exceptions, word order, etc). Include sentences to show how and when it is used.
Day 3: Either make a vocab list or find a vocab list you like and make sentences using those words. You can make them as long or as short as you like. This is a good way to contextualise vocab words and learn them in context. Share your sentences and highlight the vocab word.
Day 4: Record yourself reading an article, short story, or passage (basically anything written in your target language). Listen to it and see if you can point out any areas you can improve with your speaking and any areas that you're doing well. You can post your recording if you wish.
Day 5: Post at least 2 songs that you like in your target language. Make sure you add a link to them so people can go listen to them.
Day 6: Share a study tip you have. This can range from how you organize your notes to playlists that help you study to apps you use to review. Just something that you find makes studying easier (and more fun).
Day 7: Share with everyone some langblrs you enjoy seeing on your dash, try to put at least 5 people (and make sure you @ them!).
Week 3
Day 1: Remember that playlist you made/are making? Take a song you really like and make a vocab list of words you don't understand, learned from the song, or recognize but don't quite remember. Post so others can see and link the song. If you have extra time and/or want a bit more of a challenge, translate the song as well, either into English or another language.
Day 2: Write about a festival or holiday that is celebrated in a country that speaks your target language. This can be either something you’ve celebrated yourself, have wanted to participate in, or have never heard of before. You can write this in any language you’d like.
Day 3: Make another vocab list from the list you made at the beginning of the challenge. If you are learning two or more languages, make the vocab list in 3 languages (meaning for example: French, German, and English or Japanese, Arabic, and Ukrainian).
Day 4: Find a recipe written in your target language and translate it into your native language (or another language of your choice) or find a recipe in your native language and translate it into your target language. Bonus points if you actually make it (share pictures if you do)!
Day 5: Create a collection of resources you use to study/learn your target language. Add links to them if possible so others can also use them.
Day 6: Create a post explaining a grammar rule that you had/are having difficulties learning. If you’re currently having difficulties, do your best to explain and ask others to help you understand it better. Include example sentences in your explanation.
Day 7: How do you feel at the end of this challenge? Did you meet any goals while doing this? Do you feel more confident in your language abilities? Where do you think you'll go from here? Answer these questions either in your native language or your target language.
Hopefully you guys enjoy/enjoyed this challenge. After you've completed the challenge, I encourage you to continue your studies in your target languages and support others in theirs.
