Free Write 2

Today we return to a very popular topic from a couple of months ago. Instead of suggesting a topic to you, we want you to write about anything that you want to.

Feel free to talk about things that are happening in your life, something you read or saw on tv, tell us a funny joke, etc. Good luck!

Tell A Joke

Hearing/reading jokes is a great way to learn about a new language. If you know a joke in the language you are learning share it here.

If you only know jokes in your own language write the joke, and then, in the language you are learning, explain why the joke is funny.

Thanks to Armand for suggesting this topic.

Complaint Letter

Have you ever written a complaint letter or formally complained about something in your native language? What about in your second language?

Today's topic gives you the chance to write a formal complaint in the language you are learning. Think about a situation or event (real or imaginary) that would cause you to write a complaint letter. Explain what happened and why you are complaining. Also, explain what you would like to see happen as a result of your letter.

Teach A Phrase

Today's topic, in addition to helping you practice writing in your second language, will help other members to learn the meaning of a certain phrase in your language.

Choose a specific colloquial or slang phrase that you really like in your OWN LANGUAGE. Start your post by writing that phrase. Then in the LANGUAGE YOU ARE LEARNING explain what the phrase means, and when it is used. Try to give one or two examples.

Learning Tools

There are lots of different types of language learners, who use different methods or resources to learn a new language. Tell our community what you do to practice learning your new language, and what tools or resources you use to do so.

One tool that we found useful when we learned Spanish was a smart flashcard program. That's why we built our own flashcard program for Lenguajero members. We'd love to hear your opinion on the program. Will you use it? Is it easy to understand? What would make it better?

Common Mistakes

Today you are going to help our community by writing a post (in English and Spanish) about errors that the learners of your language make. If you are an English speaker you will write about the errors that Spanish speakers make when learning English and vice versa.

Explain the errors that you have noticed, and add the corrections. If you have a question about grammar ask it in your post, and other members will leave you feedback.
