Language Study Challenges I've been contemplating, but I just do not have the time to do it all. ToT I think some of these could result in some good progress over a few months, as a period to see how much the challenge is helping you improve in your specific goals.

Glossika: attempt to study 2000 new sentences in the course in a month, doing reviews only if you have spare time. May require 1-2 hours of study time a day, but the studying can be done as just listening, so you can do it while also doing other things. Getting through 2000 new sentences in glossika will take around 40-60 hours (I think it took me 40 hours). If the method is working well for making progress on your improvement goals, then keep doing for 3 months and you will cover 6000 sentences, then the 4th month study the last 400 sentences in the course and finally start prioritizing reviews. Spend end of 4th month reviewing, and do a final 5th month of reviews if desired. (Do reviews more than me if you prefer that, do speaking practice with course if desired for your particular goals, do reading practice with course sentences of desired for your particular goal). This can be completed in ~3 to 5 months, so you can make some significant progress and see how well (or not) it worked for your goals in a somewhat shorter amount of time. (I'm doing this challenge now).

Listen to an audiobook: find an audiobook you like (I'm using SCI), attempt to listen to it in as short a time period as possible (that's possible for you), aiming for at least 1-2 hours of listening a day (on average). Since its just listening, it can be done while doing some other activities. If you pick an audiobook shorter than 60 hours long, pick a few audiobooks so that listening 2 hours a day would result in eventually listening to 60 hours in a month. If desired, the next month you can pick to re-listen to the same audiobooks again (for repetition and to see if you understand more the next time around). For me, the goal with this is to INCREASE practice listening to a LOT of dense speaking. So for me, perfectionism will try to kick in and I'll try to re-listen to the same chapter over and over. So for me, this goal is to FINISH listening to an audiobook. The SCI audiobook I'm listening to is around 60 hours. Guardian by priest is around 50 hours. A lot of Chinese webnovels will easily be 40 hours or much longer, if you want something long to keep listening to the same word choices and grammar patterns and plot of one author. If you pick shorter audiobooks, picking the same author may help keep the vocabulary and grammar more familiar to you over time. (I'm doing this challenge).

Comprehensible Input Challenge (for total beginners): Dreaming Spanish gives an estimate of 50 hours to learn 300 words, and 150 more hours (so 200 hours total) to learn 1,500 words. 1,500 words is a great foundation to starting to try shows if you are okay looking key words up every few minutes, novels for kids if you're willing to look key words up, graded readers, simple conversations, videos for learners which don't have as many visual aids for understanding, and the broader world of being able to learn more new words with SURROUNDING words as your context for guessing, instead of only or often primarily visual clues. Dreaming Spanish labels that as Level 3, 1,500 words learned, can watch Intermediate Dreaming Spanish videos. (From their site "Now you can listen to videos or classes in which the teacher doesn't use as much visual input, and may even be able to take advantage of really easy audios and podcasts that are catered to learners at your level. Crosstalk is still the best way to spend your time. At this level it becomes easier than before to do crosstalk over the internet using video call software, so you won't need to find native speakers where you live anymore. Reading is still not recommended if you care about your final achievement in pronunciation, but it starts becoming possible to understand lower level graded readers"). So for a total beginner the challenge would be to get through 50 hours of Comprehensible Input lessons for Superbeginners/Absolute Beginners/B0 (depends on the youtube account for what the first beginner videos are labelled). Just plan 1-2 hours of video lessons per day. Then for months 2, 3, 4, keep doing 50 hours a month and you'll hit that approximate 1,500 words known level. At that point, you should find non-comprehensible input made lessons such as beginner learner podcasts and graded readers become somewhat understandable, and media in the target language may in some cases be understandable if you're willing to look up key words and feel the initial "very tired/drained from focusing hard" part that always happens at first.

Comprehensible Input Challenge (for upper beginners): Assuming you know 1,500 to 2,000 words - or skill wise, you can handle understanding beginner graded readers and some beginner dialogues in learner materials, and can handle some content in the target language for native speakers IF it's on the easier side and you can look a key word up for meaning every few minutes (so for example: you can follow a Peppa Pig episode, or a Spongebob episode, aka a cartoon for kids, if you look up key words every few minutes - alternatively, if you can watch a simple romance daily life show and follow the main plot if you look up key words). Your goal as an intermediate learner: watch 300 hours of Comprehensible Input Lessons labelled "Intermediate." 300 hours will take you from that upper beginner area you're at (1,500 words learned) to 3,000 words learned. That will get you to the point of (from Dreaming Spanish site): being able to talk to patient native speakers and may be able to make friends and lamguage exchange partners, get through daily life stuff like shopping with words although it may be a struggle, can learn new words mainly from surrounding word context now (so picking up new words from things you engage with is going to start picking up more so listening to stuff and watching stuff outside of lessons will result in learning more words - shows, podcasts, entertainment), graded readers will still be more comfortable but you can wade into more books for native speakers (especially if you're willing to look up key words for main idea). At 3,000 words, media for native speakers will still feel difficult but it should feel significantly LESS difficult than it did when you knew 1,500 words. When I knew 1500 words I could start watching cdramas with no english subtitles, but I looked up key words every 1-3 minutes and felt exhausted within 5-20 minutes. Once I had studied 3000 words, I could watch simpler romance slice of life cdramas for 40 minutes (episode length) without feeling drained, and look up key words once every 5 minutes. (Although keep in mind: the first time you watch shows or read novels, it will feel Exhausting until you get used to it, even if you know many thousands of words... you have to practice reading/listening stamina, even if you have a bigger vocabulary). So a 300 hour study of intermediate level lessons, should give you a significant boost in your language skills. You could do 50 hours a month, 1-2 hours a day, and finish in 6 months. You could do 60 hours a month (2 hours a day) and finish in 5 months. You could do 90 hours a month (3 hours a day - probably more than the average person has time for but this is a challenge after all lol!) and finish in 3.3 months. A huge jump like that in 3 months would be awesome! (I did that kind of jump in 6 months... when I started chinese I cram studied 2000 words and 1500 hanzi in 6 months, then reviewed for 2 months by watching shows and graded readers, then for 4 months I read a TON of webnovel chapters and picked up another 1000 words and ~500 hanzi). So yeah, 1.6 hours to 3 hours a day of study for a few months, aiming for 50-90 hours of Comprehensible Input Lessons for Intermediate Learners on youtube per month for 3.3-6 months.

Comprehensible Input Challenge (for intermediate learners) : This is where I am (for Japanese). 600 hours to go from the last level to this, to learn 5,000 words total. (As you know... I'm attempting to use Glossika japanese to learn 5000 words instead, so I'll report how that goes). 600 hours unfortunately cannot be done in 3 months with a comfortable study plan - I think, for me at least, a comfortable study plan I know I can commit to is going to need to be 2 hours a day or less (on average). 600 hours would take ~10 months to go through at 2 hours a day. Now granted, 10 months isn't so long in the grand scheme. But if you, like me, can motivate yourself to read novels or watch shows at this point, then 600 hours of youtube lessons sounds so boring. Although... I guess for my japanese level, watching shows still feels exhausting (podcasts for learners feel okay though, like Nihongo Con Teppei, so maybe I should listen to hundreds of hours of that?). Find the intermediate/advanced video comprehensible input lessons on youtube for the language you're studying, and go wild. It should take 10 months unless you study more hours per day then I can. (I think this is a sobering realization, right as I type, that it probably is going to take 600ish hours of SOME form of Japanese study to get me to the level I want to be at... maybe I'll try to just slog through a japanese novel ebook... I can sometimes motivate myself to read for 4 hours a day, I like reading...). Note: if I do this challenge later, it'll be with Comprehensible Japanese youtube videos for Intermediate and Advanced. Significant progress you should see once you've learned around 5,000 words (from Dreaming Spanish): You'll be able to understand more advanced materials for learners. Listen to audios and podcasts daily if you want to learn fast. Crosstalk is still as good as always. You may start feeling you are not getting much out of getting input about daily life topics. Try getting input about new topics. Easier TV programs and cartoons should be accessible too. The purists who want to get really close to a native speaker and get a really good accent may still want to hold off on speaking and reading for a little more, but if you do start speaking and reading it's not a big deal by this point. You'll still end up with better pronunciation and fluency than the vast majority of learners. If you want to start reading, by this point you'll be able to understand books targeted at children of lower grade levels, and you can skip over graded readers. From me: if you're looking key words up for the main idea when watching shows, you should now be able to watch many shows in familiar genres and just look up 1 word every 5 minutes or so. If you've got a decent ability to guess, and practiced getting used to media for native speakers already, then like I was in Chinese - you will probably feel comfortable watching MANY shows in genres you're familiar with, without looking up anything. You will feel especially comfortable with easier shows like cartoons and romance daily life stuff, and things you've watched before. If you've been practicing reading before this, then once you know 5000 words you will find you need to look key words up less often and can focus more on enjoying stories, and looking words up because you desire their specific meaning/to fully understand details, not necessarily because you need the words meaning to grasp the main idea (I did a LOT of intensive reading around this period in Chinese because I could finally extensively read for plot, so I'd look up every unknown word I saw to grasp the other details and increase my vocabulary... and because the amount of unknown words to look up was now manageable).

A month long challenge

Welcome to the Language Learning Bingo Challenge

I have a Finnish exam coming up in about a month, so I need to challenge myself in the things that I practice too little (especially speaking and writing long texts).

Rules for myself:

complete one bingo per week aka one line of boxes per week

post my progress here on this tumblr blog

A more fleshed out table of what I will be doing:

If you also choose to do the bingo challenge you can of course customize it for yourself!

I am also using other resources besides this like courses and textbooks etc. but this bingo is intended to challenge me more specifically.

disclaimer! Learning Finnish is basically the main thing I do at the moment because I need it to get a study place/work. So I probably have a lot more time to focus on learning Finnish than maybe you have to focus on your language learning. So adjust the challenge to what you can realistically achieve.

If you join in, tag me to let me know!

Having others also challenging themselves is an additional motivator!

Good luck!

Multiple languages writing challenge!

Writing challenge:

Write in each language you speak, even if only barely. Stop once you don’t know how to say the next part anymore and don't edit anything!

Japanese:

Trafalgar Law doko desu ka? Yasashi to kakoii isha desu. Watashi wa akai koto sorera desu. [STOP]

(I know some Hiragana but I have no idea where to get those letters!)

French:

Bien, c’est trop difficile. [STOP]

Spanish:

Ahora vamos a ensenarlo otra vez. Me gustaría muchísimo escribir alguna historia en Espanol pero no sé si alguna person va a entender lo que escribe. No es tan facil para mi pero me gusta mucho practicar, con mis amigos en los livestreams de Twitch también. Tal vez sería una buena idea escribir algo de los hermanos Donquixote en espanol con su proximidad a Espana con su reino de Dressrosa. Me gustaría mucho el toro en esos [STOP] (I don’t know how to say “colosseum fights” ^^ )

Italiano:

Io lavoro a un ufficio en Lugano. Vorrei andare a la Arena di Verona [STOP] (I was going to write “otra vez”… woops :D )

English:

Well, this feels somewhat redundant. Ain’t no way I’ll lack any words in my native language, right? Spewing big words right now just for me to fall on my face in a few sentences, I’m calling it. Either way this English is far too colloquial in comparison to my texts for the other languages. I should adopt a far more refined writing style and write a little more like a posh lady. Should I even keep going? Like if we look at the chapters to my fanfictions over on AO3 and my twitch livestreams I do think I have a talent for never shutting the fuck up. Then again I do study philosophy, so I guess I’m just well-suited to my own field of study. Oh yeah, I guess considering that this is written English and stuff I shouldn’t abbreviate apostrophes and stuff. Oh well, too bad. Deal with it! English really is the easiest for me to write in. I’m somewhat dreading having to do German next. I always feel like the German I write is [STOP]

( Hah! I couldn’t think of a suitable word for “influenced by” :D )

German:

Okay, dann versuche ich das doch mal. Ich habe bereits angefangen eine Geschichte in Deutsch zu schreiben, allerdings kann ich jetzt nicht wirklich sagen ob die besonders gut geworden ist oder nicht. Als ich versucht habe, sie meiner Familie zu schicken, kamen nur Rückmeldungen von wegen die Datei wäre ein Virus und dass sie das dann nicht lesen wollten. Auch toll. Da fühle ich mich seither auch irgendwie ein bisschen blöd. Ist ja nicht so dass sie es mutwillig nicht gelesen haben, aber irgendwie fühle ich mich damit ein wenig deprimiert und will ihnen die Geschichte jetzt gar nicht nochmal schicken. Kommt ja eh irgendwie immer negatives Feedback zurück, das brauche ich jetzt auch nicht wirklich. Wow, also irgendwie klappt das ja richtig gut im Deutschen! Gut, so Anglizismen wie „feedback“ kann ich jetzt nicht ganz vermeiden, aber das hört sich ja auch einfach blöd an wenn ich das jetzt auf Gedeih und Verderb ins Deutsche reinpresse. Benutzt man diese Redewendung so? Keine Idee. [STOP]

Well, „keine Idee“ is a literal translation of “no idea” so that’s definitely not German, stopping myself right there.

I look forward to continuing my language studies and revisiting this challenge in the future!

Anyone who wants to is encouraged to join this challenge, whether you’re a writer or not, that doesn’t matter at all.

This is all about practise and testing yourself! ^-^

Most Hebrew apps will teach you how to say things like “The cat writes a letter"

Which is… fine, I guess — if you’re planning to narrate cartoons.

But if what you really want is to connect with Israelis,

To speak Hebrew that feels real,

That opens doors and makes people light up when you talk —

That’s a whole different story.

I say this quote not to mock those apps, but because I’ve met so many students who came to me after months (or years) of feeling like they were “learning Hebrew”,

But still couldn’t talk in Hebrew.

They knew random vocabulary.

They could read some signs.

But speaking?

Starting a conversation?

Feeling confident in how to say what they wanted to say?

They were stuck.

And they thought it was their fault.

It’s not.

It’s the system.

The way Hebrew is often taught — in a big messy pile, with odd sentences and grammar first —

Doesn’t work for how real people speak.

Not in Israel.

And not anywhere, really.

I teach differently because my motivation is for you to succeed.

I had to figure out how to teach Hebrew the way I wish someone would teach me if I were learning Hebrew, or taxes, or anything else that felt challenging.

What I found is this:

When you learn how to say what you actually want to say, in ways that simplify the language, and you have a dedicated teacher to guide you and give you feedback… everything changes.

It becomes clear.

It becomes doable.

And best of all, it becomes yours.

So if you’ve ever felt frustrated —

If you’ve been at it for a while but still feel like you’re not really able to connect — know this:

It’s not too late, and it’s not just you.

You probably just need someone to show you how to actually talk to Israelis.

01/10/23 sunday

I have a plan to spend every day of October engaging in my target language. Every single day. 1-2 hours a day would be ideal but I know days may vary. So even if it's a short video or 10 min on app still will be better than nothing. Hope this challenge help me to improve my German. Let's see if I can stay consistent. I will try to post update every other day.

[pippinandme]

I have decided to learn Italian and Russian. And since my birthday is in August and I'm hopefully starting a degree course in September, I've decided to make that my general deadline.

I can't afford to pay for anything, but I'll get whatever second-hand books I can find, and watch videos, and speak it whenever I can, stuff like that.

If anyone's interested I plan to post the words/phrases I learn here. (lack of consistent regularity, It'll just be every so often)

Also if anyone has any tips, or even would like to help me, that could be fun.

If anyone even sees this...

Teanga Tuesday - an dara seachtain (week 2)

If you're wondering what this is, feel free to check out the post I made explaining this challenge here

Today I did a listening question from the 2021 paper, and it was annoying, but I got through it and with an extra listen I managed to get most of it right. I swear, the munster dialect is so confusing to me, but there's no telling which dialect will be used in my exam, so I have to do it.

I'm also about to make some flashcards (cúpla spléach-cártaí) on character analysis for Hurlamaboc (ar anailís ar na charachtair don Hurlamaboc)

And here is this week's Irish vocab post

[fatherforgivemeforihavesinned]

i hv a cool idea for an ask game where you put simple or complex sentences your choice into someone's askbox and they translate it from memory in one sentence trying to make use of all the langs they know/are learning without searching for vocab etc and you can just default to your native langs for words you can't translate

e.g. 💌 - i listen to music while i eat chocolate

answer: mwen écoute la música pendant que mwen manjé schokolade

langs used: patois (french creole) french spanish and german

Day 1 - What is the "birthday song" of your TL? (Part 1/2 - svenska)

30 day language blog challenge by @moltre-s

Det finns fler olika födelsedagssånger som används i Sverige, men sången som sjungs huvudsakligen när någon fyller år heter "Ja, må han leva". Här är sångens text:

Ja, må han leva! Ja, må han leva! Ja, må han leva uti hundrade år! Javisst ska han leva! Javisst ska han leva! Javisst ska han leva uti hundrade år!

Naturligtvis kan man också byta ut ordet "han" mot rätt pronomen för personen som sången sjungs till - till exempel "Ja, må hon leva" eller "Ja, må du leva" - eller "Ja, må ni leva" om man sjunger låten till fler människor.

Det var intressant för mig att lära mig det här eftersom det finns en födelsedagssång med samma melodi på tyska (mitt modersmål). Oftast använder vi bara en tysk version av "Happy Birthday", men man kan också sjunga "Hoch soll er leben". Därför var melodin i den svenska låten förvånansvärt känd för mig.

Och här är en video för att ni kan höra födelsedagssångens melodi:

[bitstitchbitch]

I’m starting a fun little challenge called “how much Czech can I learn in 30 days?” It’s for fun, so I’m being really loosy goosy with the rules, but the idea is this:

I chose a language that I have zero knowledge of but am motivated to learn. I’ve thought about learning Czech before but I haven’t put any effort into it until now.

I am doing my thirty days as close together as possible, but also forgiving myself if i skip a day. Skipped days don’t count towards my thirty days.

I am focusing on basic vocab and grammar rules, with emphasis on pronunciation, reading and writing. For now I’m less worried about speaking and listening, though I’ll probably do some of that.

This is intensive study, so I’m aiming for an hour a day. Probably more on weekends.

if I study Czech, I also have to do a little bit of German study so I don’t lose my low intermediate level.

I’m two days of study in (non continuous) and I’m already impressed at how much I know! It’s not sticking in my brain quite yet, but I’m at least getting acquainted with basic concepts and vocab. If I can comfortably form basic sentences by the end of this experiment, I’ll be thrilled. It took me ages to get to that level in German.

I eventually want to speak several (10+) languages at an intermediate level, with the idea being I can do periods of intensive study to bring my levels up to advanced as needed. Like, I got my Spanish to C1 in college, but it’s dropped to more of a solid B2 but I could get back to C1 pretty easily. My German’s a weak B1, so I’ll keep focusing on that for a while, but in the meantime I want to try out learning multiple languages for a short period of time, and experiment with spinning up new languages quicker.

[organised-kitty]

Day 2 - 4/100 hours | 01/08/23

⭐️ Kapitel 1.3-2.1 Goethe Institut A1 online content -> grammar, vocabulary, listening, speaking, and writing exercises.

⭐️ 50 Goethe Institut A1 flashcards

⭐️ Small conversation with a native speaker through Hellotalk

So, turns out that the Goethe Institut course includes predetermined flashcards. It was very useful and it saved me a lot of time. However I think I need to have an Anki deck eventually cause I need to get reminders for spaced repetition. Everything is going well so far, I’m in the first couple of lessons but I haven’t found it to be that difficult yet. But I’m aware that eventually more challenges are yet to come. Bis Morgen!

Join the challenge:

100 hours of studying German from scratch

[rigelmejo]

Found a possible challenge!

Read a game script! I am planning to read in Microsoft Edge (phone app since I'm often on my phone), since the Read Aloud text to speech function in Edge sounds the best out of other free TTS and I have Google Translate set up to translate anything I hold down to highlight so I can quickly translate words, phrases, or sentences roughly. (Note that many alternative ways to read would work, all internet browsers allow for some kind of click or highlight translation with various translators and various TTS tools).

Game gengo links some game scripts: https://game-gengo.com/pages/scripts

In addition, if you're studying Japanese there are a lot of scripts posted online for various games if you search the game plus "script" in japanese on a search engine.

This challenge above would work on reading skills, learning new vocabulary by intensively reading (if you look words up), and some listening skill if you use TTS.

I found the Mother script linked on that page, and that script has english and japanese on the same page so I can compare my attempt to understand and parse word meanings with the official english translation. I know there's also Final Fantasy X and Nier Automata scripts online that show both japanese and english.

Alternative challenge: watch a full lets play of a game in your target language!

(To find a lets play on youtube search the game title and lets play words IN the target language. For japanese 実況 jikkyo is the word used for lets plays).

This challenge may work better if you want something you can potentially multitask while doing, would prefer to watch/listen more than read (but you can still get reading practice with subtitles), something that will force you to progress since the video will keep going if you don't pause it. Also if you would like to extensively immerse, where you look up few words or no words. You could intensively immerse with a lets play video, and look up every unknown word, but its not going to be as easy as clicking for translations when reading a script or ebook would be.

Options:

Watch a lets play of a game you've played before, so your prior knowledge of the plot gives you context clues to guess the meanings of more words. (For me, this would be watching say a lets play of Final Fantasy X or a Kingdom Hearts game). A game you really like, in particular, may help with keeping you interested in watching the lets play. (Until Dawn has a japanese dub, i've seen some lets plays of it on youtube, story games like that may be a good option since a lot of the story will be familiar to you but enough new stuff will happen that you'll need to pay extra attention to and put in effort to figure out).

Watch a lets play of a game completely new to you. While it will be more difficult to guess new words, because the game is new to you it may drive you to pay more attention and push you to WANT to understand what's going on. Since you won't know what's going on in the story unless you make an effort to understand the lets play. A completely new game may help with interest and motivation?

A note on lets plays on youtube: some languages have auto captions on videos. Japanese lets plays often have auto captions, which while they arent perfect, they can still provide you with text to follow along with if you're struggling to follow what the lets player is saying. Some lets plays, generally, have the lets player reading aloud all text boxes. These can be good videos to pick for languages where you don't know how the text should be pronounced or would like listening AND reading practice.

Right now for me attempting to do the challenge... I've got Mother script in english and japanese open to read, and Xenogears and Until Dawn lets plays saved to watch. I am still debating if I'd like to watch a different lets play (like persona 2 etc).

Let’s be real — learning Hebrew isn’t always easy.

But what’s the hardest part for YOU?

👇 Drop your biggest Hebrew challenge in the comments — I’m reading every one.

And tag a friend who’s learning too — let’s see what everyone’s struggling with (and not feel so alone 😅)
