As someone who was new to learning languages or someone with more experience as I am now, I’ve always thought that it would be interesting to see how someone manages language learning on a daily basis. Language Study Log samples are my way of sharing how I manage language studies and show you on a practical level what you need to do to be successful as a language learner.
My goal is to publish the first full week every month of my Study Log that I keep in a Google doc as well as give a numeral summary of the month as a whole.
Here is the numerical summary for January:
The log below should be straight forward. The amount of time I spent on activities was not intentional. Each time I study Mandarin with Duolingo I reach 50XP for the language each day and stop; the times are inconsistent because I’m sometimes going over skills for the first time and others, I’m only leveling them up. The amount of time I spend on other activities is simply dependent on factors in my every-day life.
