Keeping an L2 journal

Postby Schadenfruede » Sat Aug 18, 2018 3:57 pm

Sorry if this question's been asked, but I couldn't find it. If I wanted to keep a journal of sorts to practice writing in my TL, should I make a separate thread for it? Or does it belong in my log? Ideally I'd like it to be where it could be seen by other members so I could have constructive criticism, and I'm not sure how many people check other member's logs, or if they're more private.

I personally check logs of anyone who is learning a language I am learning, or a language I might start learning. So that I can steal what works for them :twisted:

Wish everyone but their L2s in the title of their logs so my life would be easier :lol:

Anyway, that's just me. I dunno what other people do.

If you post it in the logs forum, and you explicitly say "corrections are welcome", then you will get corrections. 8-)

Many people keep separate logs. It isn't a problem. I myself have a Free and Legal Challenge log along with my primary log, and some members keep a TL log.

Thank you to everyone that replied! And I just posted my method of learning on my log, please feel free to copy it(I'm copying another person myself).
