Hi folks! I`ve come up with a challenge for this August. Feel free to join my challenge! :)
For this I prepaired 31 headlines => list 1; and 31 types of writing => list 2 (referred to as "styles"); (one for each day) to write about in the following month.
How it works:
Choose one headline and one style every day and write a matching notebook-entry in your target language. (and hopefully get corrected.)
To show, that your notebook entry is part of the challenge, use those abbreviations in the title:
DTC/{numer of headline}.{number of style}/headline
E.G: if I want to write a dialouge about two old ladies in the disco, I use this topic: DTC/01.02/old ladies in a disco
(DTC = daily text challenge)
ANY TARGET LANGUAGE IS FINE!!!
I hope some of you may join in and we have a productive august! :)
Let me know, if you like this idea and if you want to participate!
NOTE: If you do not feel comfortable with choosing from both categories, at least take one of them and add "00" for the other in your title.
You can either do the same one every day or a couple of days or - for the most challenging way - choose different every day.
Greetings!
Katka

Hi! That`s great!
I have not spoken to teachers yet, but I guess, there are always folks around helping each other, right?
I`m quite confident in this. :)
Thank you so much for this challenge, Katka! I admire your persistence (and your Slovak skills! I kind of understand your texts, as the language is quite similar to Polish.... or seems to be! ;)). I joined late and didn't manage to write a text each and every day, but Imanaged to get 10 done (in 2 weeks), which I am amazed at hahahah so thank youuu! Danke! ^_^
Here's my last post... a court hearing (in Spanish):
Thank you all so much for participating and cheering me up along the way!
I will take the next month as well and here is the new discussion-thread for it: https://www.italki.com/discussion/124580
I hope you will join in again!
And thanks to SINA I wll add a weekly challenge as well. It is going to be a weekly reading challenge. (WRC) Watch out for the discussion-thread as well! :)
hi Sina!
Great you found the time to do another text :)
