Language Challenge 2014 – Late Start – The Language Pond
https://languagepond.wordpress.com/2014/03/21/language-challenge-2014-late-start
Aiya's language journey. Language Challenge 2014 – Late Start. March 21, 2014. So, if you’re here, you either know me on Tumblr, YouTube, or I’ve babbled languages at you before. So I started this crazy idea in 2013 to study 5 languages, every day for the entire year. And vlog about it once a week. Yeah. Clearly it didn’t end well. I think I made it until May before it completely broke down. So here I am trying to restart that challenge, with three. My languages are Japanese. New Year, New Challenge!

Aiya's language journey. Language Buddies are the Best Accountability Partners. July 4, 2015. Blogging. I used to be good at this. For the Total Language Challenge 2013, I blogged almost every day for 5 months. But now? Now it’s hard. I’m on Twitter a lot more than here (@AiyaLianxi), so feel free to poke me there if you stumble across this. In fact, it’s because of Twitter that I’m writing this. Someone retweeted The Compassionate Language Learner’s post about language buddies. If you are both enthusias...

So far, so good – The Language Pond
https://languagepond.wordpress.com/2015/01/12/so-far-so-good
Aiya's language journey. So far, so good. January 12, 2015. It is day 12 of the year, beginning of week 3 of the new year! Yes, I counted the weird halfweek we had as the beginning of the year, so sue me. I started logging on Jan 4, it is now the 12. I have missed one day. And no, it wasn’t the day I came home with the cold from hell, and was only blearily semi-conscious for 3 or so hours. That day I managed 45 minutes of memrise. Ah, memrise. Saves the day on bad days. No, the day I missed? On Follow Th...

Even if I did drop it for a little while. Achivement unlocked: That Balloon. But with mental health issues, sometimes I. How t...

Up from the grave – The Language Pond
https://languagepond.wordpress.com/2015/01/28/up-from-the-grave
Aiya's language journey. Up from the grave. January 28, 2015. So, I mentioned I was starting a new job.and promptly fell off the face of the planet. That’s a thing, really. Except it was more constructive social media that I huddled away from, hissing. Clutching my caffeine, and clawing at anything like productivity outside of work and my language challenge. Not, you know, wake up, work, take a lesson, and pass out. As you can tell by the utter disjointed mess of this post, I am still a bit discombobulat...

Aiya Lianxi – The Language Pond
https://languagepond.wordpress.com/author/languagepond
Aiya's language journey. March 25, 2016. With the Day Job, my breaks are limited to a quick text in the break room while I’m heating up my coffee, scribbling down 300 words over my lunch break, or trying to muscle up the energy to go to the library and write, if my back is feeling like sitting is still on the table after 9-10 hours at the office. It’s just not the progress I. To make this year. Which leads me to. Six Week Language Challenge. The next one starts May 1, my writing/language partner graduate...
