BEGINNER LANGUAGE JOURNALING CHALLENGE I'm so excited that you're here! As you probably already know, this is a journaling challenge for language learning. That is, we will be using daily journal prompts every day for 30 days to help us improve our writing skills in our target language. The prompts tell you exactly what to write about, so you don't have to worry about coming up with your own topics. But you will, of course, have to come up with your own answers! For this beginner level, we will be focusing primarily on expanding your vocabulary and describing objects and situations in the present tense. But watch out; as we get further along there will be some extra challenges sprinkled in! Each page in this workbook contains two journal prompts and some lines to record your answers. Don't worry about filling in all the space, just write as much as you are comfortable doing, The space is there if you need more but don't feel pressured to write more than you feel comfortable! | recommend using 5-sentence answers to the prompts to get started, That will be enough to push you to express more than just the surface level of a thought without being too overwhelming. If you want more tips and information on how journaling can help with your language learning journey, you can check out my website QuantaStudy.com for more information! This is going to be so much fun, | can't wait to start! Wt jelissa Founder of Quanta Study quanrastuoyBEGINNER LANGUAGE JOURNALING CHALLENGE 1. WHO ARE YOU? INTRODUCE YOURSELF.
