definitely fell off on this challenge though i still wrote for my speaking practice and lots of text chats i didnt track it. definitely the biggest challenge though i may not be grammatically correct i enjoyed texting with another learner

I also lost trajectory... the important thing is we both got back o the bandwagon. Yaaay us! 我们这么厉害!

I am currently deconstructing paragraphs from a film in lingq(free version) theres new words and characters being learned, how to finally write that sentence I keep hearing and just generally trying to mimic the actors on those phrases. It's been 2 hours but would probably say 30mins of that was the writing.

Discovered Dapeng about a week ago through the Dong website. His short explanations in Chinese of how to use a word, phrase or expression 表达 using examples gets me inspired to write something. https://youtu.be/3yait5Sd_wI?si=xhd_kQ1d5TyZ-HrN

still here just not doing well with tracking this activity as there is a lot to it. Also my concentration puts me in a drowsy state after after about 10-15mins sometimes. I am either doing 2 hours because am too scared to loose the focus or just 10mins then off to try and stay awake. It's been really helpful too when I have speaking practice I have already written stuff I can pull from. I also go off track trying to understand the sentence structure into grammar land but I know I just need to keep going and writing sentences that I hear all the time and ones that jumps out at me. This has got me reading more. I really like quickly jotting it down in pinyin and then sometimes I will make sure have completed the character in traverse and also construct my own sentences.

have suddenly got a thing for adding characters from words have acquired over time so thats currently my new interest but will spend time today on Dong Chinese practicing writing my characters out. I made some sentences yesterday with distinguishing between kan, Jian, jianmian, kanjian and kandao after watching https://youtu.be/c_f2OU_O9QE?si=IJ1_KR5U-GzZp72b will watch the one about zhidao today and make some more sentences.

I wrote for my speaking practice today in pinyin instead of characters and found that was helpful for speaking. Aware this is the writing challenge I always appear to improve other areas never the actual challenge theme but really looking forward to doing this am always Journaling, saving phrases I am inconsistent as am using different methods pen and paper or typing, pinyin or characters I think I am going to focus on pinyin sentence writing for this challenge so I just dont have anything that will make me lose interest in the process
