Heya! I've decided to come up with one of these since challenges really help me get on my track again and I've been procrastinating too much

How it works

Choose a target language (if you want to do it with more than one then by all means go ahead)

Look up five (5) new words each day

Make flashcards about the words (this will work as your study material)

Write a sentence with each word (this is optional)

If you want you can post your word list on Tumblr using the tag #fivewordsaday

That's it! Nice and easy!

When do we begin?

October 15th

I have no idea what words to look for!

You can try different topics each day:

School

The beach

Animals

Nature

Seasons

Body parts

Colours

Clothes
