#Add1Challenge – Intro post from Mizuu

You know me, you saw my Personal Learning Plan, now I decided to add a little twist to it.

First I saw Lingholic (Sam) doing it, and then in short succession everybody seemed to jump on the bandwagon of awesomeness: Michał, Eriko, Richard… so why shouldn’t I?

#Add1Challenge is basically a community that challenges you to add 1 language to your reportaire by the end of 2013. I thought that not only will I gain additional motivation to keep up with my PLP, but also meet some new people fascinated by foreign languages. Since yesterday, when I published the video, even though I am not a part of the Facebook group, I received messages, subscribtions and genuine encouragement. Feels great!

Also, some people are taking on the challenge with languages that I teach – Polish or Japanese, so I’ll be able to help! I’m superhappy.

My planned winter semester starts in less than a week – on Saturday, so I am also anxious and excited, slowly tackling down MOOCs, to get into the spirit.

I want to share one more project with you, Rachel AKA Moosader is a beginner esperantist and she started to make short animations to help others learn or teach the language. The first episode, “Saluton!” (=Hello!), is below, with my Japanese and Polish version of subtitles in it, so everyone can enjoy it (other people contributed other languages :D)! Please subscribe to her channel and get new episodes delivered to you!
