So, I found journaly and thought: Wow, that‘s exactly what I need to practice my Japanese. I planned to write entries in Japanese every day, but now I feel inspired to practice all my languages alike. I like it, that on the profile page only the native language appears as “speaks” and all the other languages fall in the category “learns”. And it is true. Even if English is part of each day of my life (everything I read on the internet is in English, almost every book I read is in English, almost every series and movie I watch are in English) and on a normal day I speak more Spanish than my native language German, I never stop being a learner of these languages. And with English in particular I know that practicing to express myself will do me good. I understand almost everything, but I don’t communicate so much in English and I am extremely self conscious about my grammar. I always think I’m doing it wrong. So, here I am: When I get corrections, I will actually learn something and can improve my English, and if I get positive feedback, I will gain confidence. I will try and write 15 to 20 minutes every day here on journaly, rotating all the languages I am learning. So, if everything goes well, every sixth day, there will be a post in English. Yeah!
Great post! You write very well in English, the only real corrections are the capitalisations. Good luck with your daily posts, I should also try to up my game and post more regularly!
Thank you for your corrections and feedback. Wow, that’s a long list of languages on your profile! Great!
Hi Elea, I noticed the same thing with English when I started using this site. I additionally noticed that I lacked writing experience in my native tongue which is also German. That's why, I've also written several posts in German. Another reason for doing this was to give learners some native content to read on this platform. But either method you'll choose, I'm sure it will be beneficial in the ever lasting learning process. I hope you'll enjoy it and I'm curious to read more from you soon!
Hi Linda, herzlichen Dank für dein Feedback und deine Nachricht! Es tut mir Leid, dass ich noch gar nicht geantwortet habe. Mein großes Vorhaben, jeden Tag hier auf Journaly aktiv zu sein, ist drei Wochen lang leider nur ein großes Vorhaben geblieben 🙈 Ich habe mir wohl zu viel vorgenommen, was dann kontraproduktiv war. Ich bin aber nicht weg vom Fenster und habe heute mal wieder hier hereingeschaut und etwas geschrieben. Wow, du hast ja wirklich schon beeindruckend viel hier geschrieben; alle Achtung! Liebe Grüße 🙋♀️
