Why should I take part in the italki language challenge? About 3 years ago, when I was a student myself of Japanese, I decided to take part in the italki language challenge. I didn't think much of it at the time, but it actually spurred me on to take a ridiculous amount of lessons at the time 😂. This obviously let me improve quite considerably at Japanese and at the end of the challenge I even got some rewards (I think it was lesson credits). So if you are on the fence about whether you should take part, I would say, do it!
