June Language Challenge

I’ve been struggling with learning german for a couple of years. I’ve tried multiple techniques and content types: apps, structured language courses, informal tutoring on Italki, and yet I’m still far from fluency. Recently I’ve discovered Lingvist, an app that claims to use the best findings in cognitive research to improve learning retention. It’s basically some sort of glorified Anki, targeted specifically to language learning.

As with most apps, I haven’t been to consistent with my usage, but I want to force myself to give it a try. At the moment the apps tells me I have learned 1232 words. Lingvist2 I commit to go through 100 cards per day, for 30 days. I will post my progress and my consideration on this method of learning at the end of the 30 days. Stay tuned for more, and consider joining me in this challenge!
