This is the third blog listing of October Language Challenge Public Video Pledges (weve gotten so many!. Watch the pledges from our first post below: PART I HERE PART II HERE Erica from the United States is learning Turkish Erica is learning Turkish because she wants to be able to converse with her boyfriend. She actually has a good foundation in Turkish (no one at italki really speaks Turkish but we all agree it sounds pretty good). Please send so compliments and encouragement to her by commenting on her Notebook entry! Veronica from the United States is learning Portuguese and Spanish (and a little bit of Hebrew) Veronica is taking the challenge to learn Spanish and Portuguese mainly so she doesnt mix up the two languages (we know how hard that can be!). If she finishes, she also hopes to improve her Hebrew. Give her some love by commenting on her Notebook entry! Gregory from the United States is learning Spanish Gregory has discovered the secret to learning a language and he states it very clearly in his video, Learning a language is just like learning any other skill. You need to practice, practice, practice! He also knows why were asking challengers to post a Public Video Pledge because challenges are best achieved when you share progress with others. In one short Video pledge, Gregory has revealed the secrets of the Challenge! Please give him some love as he takes his Spanish to the next level by commenting on his Notebook entry! Lena from the United States is learning Spanish We loved Lenas Public Video Pledge below because we feel she represents so many people who aspire to learn a language but just never get around to doing it. As she states, Ive always wanted to learn Spanish, but always put it off. Its one of those things that Ill get to one day. Well that one day is here! Lena is starting from the beginning in Spanish and she has a clear goal of just wanting to be able to have a simple conversation in Spanish. Please help Lena achieve her goal by sending her words of encouragement in her Notebook entry! Lindsaydoeslanguages from the United Kingdom is learning Japanese There are some people that love a Challenge and then there are some people who live for Challenges. Lindsaydoeslanguages is one of the latter. This is her 3rd Language Challenge this year. Shes learned German, Portuguese and now Japanese. If you need inspiration or motivation or advice on how to effectively learn a new language, check out Lindsays blog. Its very well done and is filled with great information including this great post on what she learned about winning the last language Challenge. Give her some props by commenting on herNotebook entry! If nothing else, just watch her video. She always makes amazingly entertaining videos. Søren from the United States is learning Japanese Another avid language learner, Søren has taken multiple Challenges. He came up short the last two times but still was gracious in defeat. Our language challenges are tough and even for the most accomplished language learners, committing to 3 lessons a week can be daunting especially when life just gets in the way. We hope that this time around, the third time is a charm and he will finish it. Please give Søren some encouragement by posting on his Notebook entry! also writes a great language learning blog KokothePolyglot.net check it out to get some inspiration! Grace from China is learning English Grace is another veteran Language Challenger having participated in 2 Challenges already (this is her 3rd!) and you can tell why. Her goal is to bring her English up a level and become even more fluent but we feel its pretty damn good already. Grace has been a student on italki for over 2 years and it really shows. Shes very busy with her studies but she promises to finish 12-hours worth of lessons during the month of October. Comment on her Notebook entry and cheer her on! Vanst from Belgium is learning Chinese Vanst loves Chinese and feels that it should be no problem completing the Challenge. If you watch the video you can see how he already has a solid foundation but really wants to take his Chinese to the next level in this Challenge. Please send him some words of encouragement by commenting on his Notebook entry! Gabriele from Italy is learning English Youre never too old to pick up a new language! Youre also never too old to make an amazing Public Video Pledge. Gabriele sent in one of the most hilarious Public Video Pledges. Youve just got to watch it complete with special effects and Halloween surprises (as the Challenge ends on Halloween day!) Please let him know how much youve enjoyed his public video pledge by commenting in his Notebook entry! Chris Cook from Canada is learning Spanish Chris is just starting off learning Spanish and but is off to a good start with publishing his Public Video Pledge below. Were really excited to witness his progression during the October Challenge as you usually see the most dramatic improvement for beginners. Please wish Chris the best by writing something on Notebook entry! Lizzy from Australia is learning French Lizzy is another beginning language learner. Shes learning French and although she is at a newbie level, she has an extraordinary voice and actually sings in French in her Public Video Pledge. Note: Learning a new language via singing is actually a fun way to learn a new language. Were really happy that Lizzy has taken the Challenge and want you to wish her good luck by commenting on her Notebook entry! Victor from Brazil is learning Japanese Victor is learning Japanese and states in his Notebook entry that Im pretty sure my japanese lines are strange/funny, but thats what I was able to come up with at the moment haha. We actually think it sounds pretty good. Watch his video below and send some good wishes by commenting on his Notebook entry (he speaks in Portuguese so I couldnt really comment about what he said ?? sounds really great though)! Futurespy from Brazil is learning Japanese and Zhuang Futurespy is one of our Language Challenge veterans. He completed the World Cup Language Challenge where he learned Quecha and Canadian French (see his Before and After video here) and has decided to sign up for the October Challenge to learn 2 more languages Japanese and Zhuang (please let us know how you do this and can keep up this amazing pace).
