A little background…
Hi, I’m Sam and I LOVE languages. English teacher, language coach and all round language lover. I’ve been writing the blog Discover Fluency for years and sharing my passion for language with as many people as I can.
I have been running this amazing language learning challenge since 2019, originally created by Katie from Joy of Languages.
Prompts
If you are struggling or in need of a little inspiration then why not try some of the prompts below to help get your language learning back on track…
#mondaymotivation – Think about what is motivating you this week to keep learning your new language. A new challenge you want to overcome or something new you are doing to try.
#tuesdaythoughts – What are you thinking about? Maybe, it’s what you want to eat for dinner tonight? Or that Netflix series you can’t wait to binge at the weekend or that subjunctive voice that you can’t get your head around. Whatever it is, we want to hear about it.
#wednesdaywisdom – Share those pearls of wisdom. Your favourite saying, a proverb in that language or simply an idea that just popped into your head. Wisdom can come from the most unlikely places!
#throwbackthursday – Think about something that happened to you in the past. Good, bad or ugly… it’s all a great way of practicing your past tenses and sharing a little about yourself.
#fridayforecast – Get those crystal balls out and gaze into the future. Think about what will change and tell us all about it.
#studysaturday / #studysunday – The weekend is time to kick back, relax and do a little study. Whether you are hitting those grammar books or just getting stuck in the YouTube black hole, why not share it with the community. Maybe someone else is doing the same!
