Desafíos de idioma
Voy a intentar escribir esto en español. En enero voy a hacer un desafío de idiomas durante tres meses. Elegí hacer este desafío en alemán. Quiero lograr el nivel A2 en los tres meses. El desafío es actualmente gratuito y la última vez que lo hice fue muy divertido. Voy a tomar clases en italki para ayuda. 

¿Les gustan desafíos de idioma? Si no (o sí), ¿por qué?

The different ways that we talk to different people
I was talking to a friend and it came up about how we change the way we talk depending on who we are talking too. I find it really interesting how depending on the person, we change our tone, our vocabulary or even how fast we talk. 

The obvious one is for instance with children we tend to speak slower and simplify our vocabulary. My tone and vocabulary choice are more relaxed around friends than let's say my neighbour or even my parents for that matter. 

I wouldn’t go as far as to say our whole personality changes but it is definitely a different part of us that different people get to know. 

I wonder if this applies to how we talk in another language. Is that just another part of our personality or does that just mimic part of our already existing traits?

I hear people say we get a new view on things when we learn a new language and that we get a new personality that goes with that. 

Do you talk differently to different people? How do you think this affects (or is affected by) language learning?

What is the difference between “schmücken” and “dekorieren”? What is the difference between “schmücken” and “dekorieren”? For example: Ich habe das Haus dekoriert. Ich habe den Weihnachtsbaum geschmückt. I think they are right but why? My idea is that “schmücken” is also like the English “to embellish”. Or are they the same word? Nur zum üben: Was ist der Unterschied zwischen “schmücken” und “dekorieren”? Zum Beispiel: Ich habe das Haus dekoriert. Ich habe den Weihnachtsbaum geschmückt. Ich denke, dass diese richtig sind, aber warum? Meine Idee ist, dass “schmücken” auch ähnlich ist wie das englische “to embellish”. Oder sind sie gleiche Wort?

How do you decide what words to learn and when?
I once asked a teacher what words I should learn first and she said to think about what words I use on a daily basis. I thought about this and it makes sense because if I were a doctor my vocabulary usage would be different to that of a science teacher etc. If I like to study art or history, for example, my vocabulary could relate to that. So the important words to me could be different to that of somebody else. Of course, it's important to learn daily phrases and common vocabulary but I think reflecting on what I'm actually going to need is a valid point.
The only thing now is finding a trustworthy place to find these words, especially since I prefer to learn words in context and in a sentence.

How do you decide what words to learn and when?

¿Cuál es tu rutina de estudio?
Tengo una rutina de estudio. A veces cambia, aunque me gusta aprender en una manera específica. Normalmente, estudio por la mañana. Primera, preparo mi café y después me gusta usar aplicaciones y practicar vocabulario. Después de esto, uso software llamado Ouino para practicar los verbos. Actualmente, estoy haciendo un desafío donde tengo que leer cada día para 20 minutos, así que uso un sitio web llamado LingQ para practicar mis habilidades de lectura. Usualmente me gusta escuchar música en el idioma que aprendo mientras navego por internet. Por la noche, me gusta usar una aplicación mientras veo la televisión.

¿Cual es tu rutina? ¿O prefieres estudiar cuando quieres o puedas?

Por favor, perdona mis errores, soy una principiante en español.

Learning about the culture of the place that speaks the language you are learning
I think it is interesting to learn about traditions and different cultural elements of a place. I feel that languages and culture go hand in hand and being about to understand both is really rewarding.

Do you like to learn about the culture of the place that speaks the language you are learning? Have you discovered anything interesting so far?

Do you have any interesting ways to enjoy language learning?
I recently discovered a place that sends out candy/snacks from a different country each month and decided I would start writing about the snacks, describing them and what I thought of them in German. I think this creates a way to have fun with the language and add association to it as well. This months snacks are coming from Spain, so I'll be sure to write about them in Spanish too.

My goal is to post a photo of each snack and write about it on Facebook. Though I think adding each one to the notebook section here could be helpful too.

So what interesting things do you do (Or have done) to study languages?

Minority or Indigenous languages
I love learning about culture and the places that speak the languages that I'm learning and recently decided I would see about learning an indigenous language of Australia. I thought it would be a great way to connect with some people and understand the culture. I find learning about different cultures even here in Australia fascinating. My decision was prompted by a google map page where they show some of the different indigenous languages around the world on a map and even have a native speaker either saying a few words or singing a song in that language.

I read while doing some research that apparently there were over 250 indigenous languages here is Australia and now just over 100 are spoken by the older generation to varying degrees and only 13 being acquired by children. I think it would be great to find ways to keep these languages alive.

Here is the link to the google map, on indigenous languages, if you are interested: <a href="https://earth.google.com/web/@15.16355348,-44.18799066,-16651a,31916368d,35y,0h,0t,0r/data=CjISMBIgYTY1Y2U1NTk3MzE4MTFlOTkzN2RjN2JkNTNhNDc1ZGIiDHNwbGFzaHNjcmVlbg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://earth.google.com/web/@15.16355348,-44.18799066,-16651a,31916368d,35y,0h,0t,0r/data=CjISMBIgYTY1Y2U1NTk3MzE4MTFlOTkzN2RjN2JkNTNhNDc1ZGIiDHNwbGFzaHNjcmVlbg</a>

I'm curious to know if anyone has any interest in a minority or indigenous language? Do you let the struggle of finding resources get to you? If you don't learn one, if you were to consider it, what one would you pick and why?

Ways of practicing vocabulary
Recently while going for a walk up the street, I decided to think of the name the things I saw in German and then take note of what I didn't know and look it up. I'm now going to make flashcards to practice these words and use them in a context in a piece of writing.

I know there are many different approaches to learning vocabulary, and so I was wondering:

What your approach is and if you have a favourite method? Have you come up with any creative ways to study? Or do you prefer not to have a method and just see what you come across?

Skype on two devices for lessons on italki I hope this is okay to ask here but I don't use a webcam in classes and was thinking of using a setup I've seen some teachers use where they have the webcam on the iPad or iPhone but they type on their computer. So, I'd be viewing documents and typing on my Mac but using the camera on my iPad/iPhone for video. Does anyone know how to set this up? I think it would be helpful for my classes if I could do this.
