終わった! 7 day speak/write (output) bootcamp

[Lisaveeta]

I’m running my own 7 day speaking challenge from Thursday 14th August to Wednesday 20th August (I’m doing 7 short read & talk lessons over 7 days) and was wondering if anyone else would like to join me on this short output challenge - I’m proposing a two week period starting Monday 11th August and finishing Sunday 24th August in which to complete the challenge and people could do writing/speaking/shadowing/handwriting or something similar.

I always like a challenge so may be interested!

The second week I’m travelling but the first week I could(should) probably focus more on writing and speaking than usual

[soggyboy]

I’m in! Will have to think of what I want to do.

[shitsurei]

I keep meaning to add shadowing/chorusing to my routine but keep on dragging my feet. Sounds like the universe just gave me a shove.

You could just tick the boxes every day (travelling or not) by ordering a coffee/bento/train ticket! (笑)

Yay!

@shitsurei

Sounds like the universe just gave me a shove.

Hopefully a gentle one!

[RebBlue]

Sure, why not. Probably will do some writing, maybe handwriting if I’m feeling fancy.

I’m in! I have been wanting to start writing essays in Japanese but I’m procrastinating. This would be good motivation to get started. I’ll create a local document to work on every day of the challenge and post the essays as they are completed. 5 essays seems like a solid goal, 2-3 days to work on each one.

Edit: I made an account on LangCorrect: LangCorrect Profile

[Lisaveeta]

Great!

Do you know about the sites 1) LangCorrect https://langcorrect.com/ &
2) Nyan 8 https://nyan-8.com/? They are both sites where you can post your essays and get them corrected by native speakers.

[feralfuton]

Thanks! I’ll check those out. If I post the essays there I’ll add the link here for the challenge

I’ll be starting my challenge on Friday 15th & finishing Friday 22nd (with a day off Thursday 21st)
Hoping to do a short 「読んで話そう」lesson (almost) every day for 7 days.

[Lisaveeta]

Challenge starts next week: Monday 11th August & runs over 2 weeks.

[Lisaveeta]

Let the challenge begin! (Although I won’t be officially starting my sort of 7 day challenge until Friday now!)

[monlitt]

Just found this topic!

Never looked into writing anything and having it corrected by natives, so I’m really interested in the websites suggested above.
I might just do that, join this challenge and write a short story or something

[Lisaveeta]

Great! Look forward to hearing how you go.

[feralfuton]

An update for today: wrote the first paragraph of my essay. I plan to have the first one done by Wednesday. I’ll give another update and a link to the Langcorrect post when it is completed.

[TheNerdyNova]

Yesterday with the challenge starting, I’m vacation in Japan right now So I’ve been having lotsss of opportunities to speak!! Making lots of new friends, I’m so happy.
Going forward I’ll try to post here a little in Japanese and add to the output

@feralfuton

I’ll give another update and a link to the Langcorrect post when it is completed.

Awesome!!

@TheNerdyNova

So I’ve been having lotsss of opportunities to speak!!

Lucky you! 羨ましい！

[Soltha]

Hey everyone, quick message to wish you the best of luck for those starting now! Thanks @Lisaveeta for initiating the challenge.

I have now arrived in Chile and have 826 reviews to complete (so scared…). Sorry I haven’t been very active lately and will be sure to make a comeback once I am not in pain in bed anymore..

For me the challenge will consist of chatting with my Japanese colleague and writing some short themed paragraphs!

[Lisaveeta]

Good luck with everything Soltha! Climb that review mountain one review at a time.
