—— INTERMEDIATE LANGUAGE JOURNALING CHALLENGE ——— (Weleone to the cballenge! 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 the intermediate level, we will be making things a little more complicated by introducing more complex tenses (past, future, conditional, etc.) and structures to bring you to the next level! Each page in this book 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 pressed 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, you can check out my website QuantaStudy.com for more information! This is going to be so much fun, | can’t wait to start! Ly ? _ (CLALESC2 Founder of Quanta Study quanrastuoy———— INTERMEDIATE LANGUAGE JOURNALING CHALLENGE ———— 1.
