Thank you for checking this out! If you have any questions and issues, please let me know.

Is there a skill you’ve always wanted to master someday, but kept procrastinating on? A language you started learning – then abandoned? A topic in class you’ve never quite grasped? Or maybe you just want to expand your horizon and try something new? Distract yourself from your usual studies?

This challenge is the perfect opportunity to achieve that! Pick a skill and see how much you can improve and grow in 30 days – or really start working on your to-read list (I know those books have been piling up), your portfolio for that dream job in Illustration you want, or your blog you’ve been meaning to post more original content on.

Self-growth and development are so, so important, which is the main reason why I created this challenge.

The idea of this challenge is that people from all communities come together to gain knowledge, add skills and just have fun with the amazing amount of resources out there. This way, we can all support and motivate each other, whatever field you might be interested in.

Post an introduction with the hashtag #30dol with your goals and expectations for the month (starting June 1st), and what your current level is. (Of course, you can join in later as well, but it’s fun to start a the same time!) In the end, you’ll be able to compare and see how much has changed!

Rules:

choose a topic or field you want to concentrate on

post an introduction to #30dol 

define your goals or aspirations

update daily or weekly, we want to hear from you! ♥

post a picture, a sketch, or audio, whatever you deem fitting to show us all your progress for the day/week

Here are some ideas for you:

bullet journaling (read about it here on @emmastudies, here’s an amazing online course on it) 

books/reading (if you don’t have a personal to-read list, here is one with the best books of the 20th century, best series with a gay plot/subplot, and books everyone should have read at least once)

coding (here are some sites to learn html, css, data science, python 3, java, etc.: x x x x)

design/illustration ( stickers and illustration, character illustration, Ink Illustration, 45 best adobe illustrator tutorials, 

business/freelance/open your own shop (tips on how to open your own sticker shop, digital skills: web analytics and marketing)

languages (apps like lingodeer, duolingo, lingvist, busuu, blogs like @lovelybluepanda. there are also so many pdfs and amazing websites out there depending on your target language!)

online mass education courses (edx, coursera, skillshare, futurelearn where universities and professionals teach you about their subject - be that astronomy, engineering, ancient greek history, artificial intelligence or medicine!)

social media (learn to take iphone photos for your tumblr or instagram, and here’s a great post by @studyquill on how to start and maintain a studyblr!)

photography (travel street photography, find photographers you admire like annie leibovitz or henri cartier bresson and read about their path, or browse youtube channels like negative feedback which specialize on photography)

creative writing (there are tons of workshops online - you could also try to set yourself a piece or word limit similar to nanowrimo) 

culinary (check recipe websites, or challenge yourself to try one new recipe a day, or dedicate the month to a specific cuisine)

music (learn music production, andrew huang has also made a video on how to start making music here)

film and filmmaking (karsten runquist’s channel is wonderful for film analysis,  learn about cinematography basics here and film history here)

painting (acrylic painting, sketchbook illustration. you could challenge yourself to fill an entire sketchbook/create a piece every day or week, or to improve a specific technique) 

Every resource linked is free (if you click on the links you can get Skillshare for free for two months and cancel anytime), so all you need is some free time and lots of motivation!!

I’m very happy to be announcing this to you all, and will be working on my Japanese for this challenge – so excited to see what you all and I will do and how far we can come!

Use #30dol as the general tag, and add your field (your specific subject, or writing, painting, lang(uages), pho(tography), film, book, design) to find people doing something similar! Though honestly one of the things I’m most excited about is the multidisciplinary aspect - we are such a brilliant and colorful community :)

Hi! Language exchange is a great way to improve your language skills! You may feel nervous at first but your partner probably feels just the same, but don’t worry, you both will start feeling more comfortable and confident after a while. Have an open mind and remember to help and encourage your partner when they struggle or hesitate, they will do the same for you. Before you start the exchange you can plan ahead when you’re having your sessions and what topics you’re going to discuss, so you can prepare beforehand by looking up more information or useful words and phrases. It would also be a good idea to discuss what you want from the exchange and what aspects of your language skills you want to improve so you can better help and support each other to reach those goals. Here are some topic ideas:

어디가 아프세요? Where does it hurt?

주소 여기있어요. This is the address. (If showing directions to a hospital).

열이 있어요. I have a fever.

언제부터 아프셨어요? Since when have you felt pain?

기분 - Mood, Feeling

Examples:

지금 기분이 어때요? - How are you feeling now?

오늘은 기분이 좋아요 - I feel good today

imperatives are used to give orders + tell people to do things. though basic conjugation can be used to do this, there’s also several grammatical principles that can be used. much like normal conjugation, depending on the age/familiarity of the person you’re ordering to do something, the imperatives used can change a lot! note: sentences with imperatives/without imperatives are the same in terms of their meanings + translations, but it’s just common to use imperatives to make a command.

아/어라 ✨  (informal, and generally used when speaking to younger children)

아라 is used when the last vowel in the word stem is ㅏ or ㅗ

어라 is used when the last vowel in the word stem is anything but ㅏ or ㅗ

imagine we want to conjugate 먹다 (to eat) with this. the last vowel in the word stem, 먹, is ㅓ, therefore 어라 is used. > 빨리 먹어라! (eat quickly!) > 밥을 다 먹어라! (eat all the rice!)

imagine we want to conjugate 가다 (to go). the last vowel in the word stem, 가, is ㅏ, therefore 아라 is used. > 당장 가라! (go right now!)

(으)세요 🌙  (formal. this is used with people who are older than you and inherently deserve respect. if you’re speaking to strangers/someone you’re not close to, this will probably be your go to form)

note: you might’ve seen (으)셔요 floating around. this is the same as (으)세요 - they both mean the exact same thing and can be used interchangeably, (으)셔요 is just commonly pronounced/written as (으)세요 as it’s used a lot more commonly in speech and writing. use both depending on whichever one you’re comfortable with. however, in this lesson i will only be using (으)세요 in examples. an important thing to know is that though (으)세요 and (으)셔요 can be used interchangeably in most cases, (으)세요 can only be used in place of (으)셔요 when it’s in the present tense. (으)세요 cannot replace variants of (으)셔요 eg. when it’s in the past tense, which would be written as (으)셨어요. if you’re confused about this, please see lesson 40 on howtostudykorean.com for a better + more in depth explanation! for now, lets move on to some examples~

으세요 is used when the last letter in a word stem is a consonant

세요 is used when the last letter in a word stem is a vowel

imagine we want to conjugate the word 주다 (to give). the last letter in the word stem is ㅜ, a vowel, therefore 세요 is used. the construction 주세요 translates to “please give me”, which is v useful to know! > 휴지를 주세요 (please give me a tissue) > 커피를 한잔 주세요 (please give me a cup of coffee)

now imagine we want to conjugate the word 앉다 (to sit). the last letter in the word is ㅈ, a consonant, therefore 으세요 is used. > 앉으세요 ((please) sit down) here’s another example featuring 운동하다 (to exercise). the last letter in the word stem is ㅏ, a vowel, therefore 세요 is used. > 일주일에 두 번 운동하세요 (exercise twice per week)

(으)십시오 ✨  (v formal - you’ll often hear this in public announcements in the subway. this is usually reserved for speaking to someone who deserves a lot of respect, eg. grandparents)

(으)십시오 is used when the last letter in the word stem is a consonant

십시오 is used when the last letter in a word stem is a vowel

> 들어가십시오 (go inside)

지 말다 🌟 this is used to tell someone NOT to do something. it’s added directly to the end of a word stem, so its use is v simple. here’s several example, featuring different levels of politeness demonstrated in this post, going from least formal to most formal

그 것을 하지 마

그 것을 하지 마라

그 것을 하지 마요

그 것을 하지 마세요

그 것을 하지 마십시오 all of these translate to “don’t do that”. you may notice that some of the sentences aren’t conjugated to what you expect. this is because 말다 in this scenario is an irregular verb, leading to some unexpected conjugations. unfortunately there’s no real explanation for this, but don’t concern yourself too much over it! as long as you’re aware of it, you’re golden.

아/어라 ✨  (informal, and generally used when speaking to younger children)

아라 is used when the last vowel in the word stem is ㅏ or ㅗ

어라 is used when the last vowel in the word stem is anything but ㅏ or ㅗ

imagine we want to conjugate 먹다 (to eat) with this. the last vowel in the word stem, 먹, is ㅓ, therefore 어라 is used. > 빨리 먹어라! (eat quickly!) > 밥을 다 먹어라! (eat all the rice!)

imagine we want to conjugate 가다 (to go). the last vowel in the word stem, 가, is ㅏ, therefore 아라 is used. > 당장 가라! (go right now!)

(으)세요 🌙  (formal. this is used with people who are older than you and inherently deserve respect. if you’re speaking to strangers/someone you’re not close to, this will probably be your go to form)

note: you might’ve seen (으)셔요 floating around. this is the same as (으)세요 - they both mean the exact same thing and can be used interchangeably, (으)셔요 is just commonly pronounced/written as (으)세요 as it’s used a lot more commonly in speech and writing. use both depending on whichever one you’re comfortable with. however, in this lesson i will only be using (으)세요 in examples. an important thing to know is that though (으)세요 and (으)셔요 can be used interchangeably in most cases, (으)세요 can only be used in place of (으)셔요 when it’s in the present tense. (으)세요 cannot replace variants of (으)셔요 eg. when it’s in the past tense, which would be written as (으)셨어요. if you’re confused about this, please see lesson 40 on howtostudykorean.com for a better + more in depth explanation! for now, lets move on to some examples~

으세요 is used when the last letter in a word stem is a consonant

세요 is used when the last letter in a word stem is a vowel

imagine we want to conjugate the word 주다 (to give). the last letter in the word stem is ㅜ, a vowel, therefore 세요 is used. the construction 주세요 translates to “please give me”, which is v useful to know! > 휴지를 주세요 (please give me a tissue) > 커피를 한잔 주세요 (please give me a cup of coffee)

now imagine we want to conjugate the word 앉다 (to sit). the last letter in the word is ㅈ, a consonant, therefore 으세요 is used. > 앉으세요 ((please) sit down) here’s another example featuring 운동하다 (to exercise). the last letter in the word stem is ㅏ, a vowel, therefore 세요 is used. > 일주일에 두 번 운동하세요 (exercise twice per week)

(으)십시오 ✨  (v formal - you’ll often hear this in public announcements in the subway. this is usually reserved for speaking to someone who deserves a lot of respect, eg. grandparents)

(으)십시오 is used when the last letter in the word stem is a consonant

십시오 is used when the last letter in a word stem is a vowel

> 들어가십시오 (go inside)

지 말다 🌟 this is used to tell someone NOT to do something. it’s added directly to the end of a word stem, so its use is v simple. here’s several example, featuring different levels of politeness demonstrated in this post, going from least formal to most formal

그 것을 하지 마

그 것을 하지 마라

그 것을 하지 마요

그 것을 하지 마세요

그 것을 하지 마십시오 all of these translate to “don’t do that”. you may notice that some of the sentences aren’t conjugated to what you expect. this is because 말다 in this scenario is an irregular verb, leading to some unexpected conjugations. unfortunately there’s no real explanation for this, but don’t concern yourself too much over it! as long as you’re aware of it, you’re golden.
