90-Day Challenge, Learning Languages
Hi there, Steve Kaufmann here, two weeks in to my 90-Day Challenge challenging the language of Polish.

Why Content is King

One of the most important ingredients for language learning success is interesting, captivating and meaningful content. I am rediscovering this truth as I proceed in my 90-Day Challenge in Polish.

Writing helps you notice the language

90-Day Challenge
I wrote 250 words of Korean today on a rather difficult subject. Lots of mistakes, which were corrected by Korean member at LingQ. I would rather be listening and reading, but I know the writing helps. It helps me to notice the language.  It is quite motivating to see your writing corrected so I hope […]

Really enjoying writing Korean

90-Day Challenge, Learning Korean
I am glad that my son nudged me to start writing Korean. I know writing is good for language learning, but I kept putting it off. Now with less than a week to go, I have to write to meet my obligations under the 90-Day Challenge. Using the iPad makes it a lot easier. I […]
