I often use instagram in my language learning. I’ve mentioned that now I often take part in the Language Diary Challenge, but what is it and how can you use it to improve your Vietnamese?
From offline to online
As you might know, when I was learning Korean I started writing a sentence a day. I’ve now moved to instagram where I post a caption instead of writing my diary on paper. I don’t manage to do it daily but sharing my pictures and captions online is more motivating than keeping a notebook, I get to learn and practice language relevant to my life and the support of other language learners is also motivating!
This support largely comes from the other participants in the #languagediarychallenge.
Organised by Joy Of Languages, the aim is to practise speaking or writing your chosen language every day for 30 days. As added motivation, there is a prize to be won each month.
How to take part?
1. Follow @joyoflanguages on instagram. (I’m there too, @morelanguages)
2. Post a picture or video and say something in Vietnamese, every day for a month.
3. Use the hashtags #languagediarychallenge and #joyoflanguages
For added benefit, follow other language learners and support each other by commenting and liking. The community is one of the things I like best about this challenge, along with how personalised it is writing about things in my life.
Over to you: Do you use instagram for language learning? How do you practice writing or speaking about your daily life?
