To all who read this,
This is a Blog that I am starting, to record the events that occur during 'The Danish Challenge'. I have set myself the task of learning my heritage language 'Danish'. As this is a rather hard challenge I have narrowed it down to learning 500 phrases - phrases that will ensure that I can then converse with any native Danish-man. I originally thought that 500 words would be better, but felt that using them effectively would be difficult. This way I learn many more words - therefore complicating the challenge somewhat.
I have also set a time limit for the challenge - 1 year. That's right, 1 year, 365 days, 12 months, to devote all my spare time to learning the Danish Language that I so crave. I've worked it out to be roughly 1.3 phrases a day, which may seem very little, but as a year-long challenge, may be difficult to sustain.
I thought that Blogging my progress will not only encourage me to stay on track, but allow others (that actually come across my oh-so-humble blog) to learn a little Danish too. I have also decided that with every blog, I will post a little Danish fact, poem, history, famous quote/person, etc. Enjoy!
I will sign off each blog with 'The Challenged One' - however, to you that know me (or wish too), it's Emma.
I end this with ever-so-high expectation, hesitation, exhilaration and lots of inspiration.

ReplyDeleteToo much effort?? You forget the meaning of the word 'challenge' - it's supposed to be difficult!! Besides, learning a new language is never easy!
