You may think it’s not that important to write your goals and your updates on a journal, but you’re wrong.
I’ll tell you why.
At first I didn’t understand what all the fuss was about a language journal.
I thought it was cool to have one but not really necessary. You know what? I changed my mind as soon as I started one.
My language journal is like my best friend. It’s always there for me. If I feel like quitting my project, it reminds me of why I started it in the first place by showing me my journey.
- It reminds me of my previous progress and my goals. Looking at every single page filled with my notes makes me feel proud and encourages me to go on. And we all know that going on is the key to success.
- It’s practical. I can carry it with me almost everywhere, so, in my dead time, I can review some sentences and new vocabulary. It’s important to do that to make them stick!
- It will dramatically improve your writing skills. To get good at writing you have to practice. A lot. Did you know that the physical act of writing helps you remember information? When you’re having a hard time trying to remember a new rule, a new word or something else, put it down on paper. That’s another bonus of keeping a journal. You can write on it whatever is useful to you and you’ll get the benefit of handwriting. That’s not so bad, huh? 😀
- It helps you in creating an immersion environment. How?
Well, look at these language journals. They often have pictures of the country you’ve always wanted to visit. Fancy having them in your room?
Now it’s time to hear your voice!
