CLAIRES LANGUAGES

~Welcome to my blog!~

​

I'm so glad you found it! I'm Claire, a teen who has a passion for learning languages. If you're like me, then you find spending hours watching videos, reading, writing and talking in a foreign language for fun. Currently, I am still a student, but I'm making 45 minutes-one hour of my day dedicated to learning languages. While I learned Spanish from 7th grade, I am also learning ASL and Chinese. On my blog, you will find each language split into 3 categories: Grammar, Writing, and Vocabulary (as of now, Chinese does not have grammar or writing).  Here's a brief overview of each section:

​

Grammar: I record new grammar rules that I learned and explain in as much detail as possible with a lot of examples

Vocabulary: I post a new vocabulary word each week with memorization tools, example sentences, possibly videos that include the word, etc. Each month, I post a vocabulary list regarding the topic I am learning in school (Health, Technology, Family, etc) These lists cover over 20 words and include ways to memorize them

Writing: I write down mini paragraphs over fun topics

In my tips and advice section, I cover methods that help me learn. So come along as I take you through my journey!

While it initially started as another avenue of sharing advice from featuring diverse
