Welcome, aspiring polyglot! Since I have been quite obnoxious about writing over the past several weeks, I figured I would create something to hopefully spur some creativity. Ideally everyone who reads this will work through this month long writing challenge in their target language, but even if you only make it a few weeks in, that is far better than nothing. Beware, though, if you do this challenge you will see the light and your life will be forever changed.
Bet on yourself
Learning a new language doesn’t have to take years. The biggest problem people often face is a misconception of what is and is not a good timeline. Wherever you are at on your language learning journey, this challenge is taking a bet on yourself. If you feel like you have hit a wall, this challenge for you. Experiencing some solid quick newbie gains? This challenge is for you. The winner? The people who participate.
I’ve done everything I can to make writing as simple as possible. Themes, topics, prompt option, length suggestions all of it together. That is how badly I want you to put your head down and see just how much you can move the needle in the next month. Doing this will, at the very least, set you up to walk into 2026 with another language under your belt. Better yet, rope some friends into the challenge and have some real life accountability to get you through the worst of it.

Am I trying to sneakily convince you to create a habit of writing, knowing that it takes 21 days to build a habit? Perhaps. Irrespective of my underlying motives, you are 30 days from a complete transformation in your linguistic abilities and I have done all that I can to make it as easy as possible. Everything you need is right here:
I will also post it on the Language Learning PDFs page so you can always go back and find it there. Best of luck in this and remember, the only person you are trying to beat is the person you were the day before. One new verb tense, two new words, a variety in sentence length, whatever it is it just has to be better than the day before. It will be difficult, but you can do difficult things and be great, so let’s do some difficult things and become great. I am rooting for you.
