meshellmybell Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I was just wondering if anyone keeps a journal in French. It seems like a good tool to use. In general, I think that journal writing is a good idea for your mental health, so perhaps it could double as a practice for writing in french. I suppose you could also make a scrapbook sort of thing with french newspaper bits or clips from french cartoons or any little sayings in french that you could refer to at a later time.Please write if you do write in a French journal. If you do, how often do you write in it? Do you find the practice useful and would you recommend it to others? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anna3101 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hi meshellmybell,I used to have a diary and as a way to practise I wrote in English, French and German on different days. That was very long ago, when I was in high school, and when I occasionally stumble across those entries, I'm amazed just how many mistakes a person can make in just a couple of sentences But I must admit - it was a good practice. I was forced to look up new words in the dictionary and learnt some new things along the way.I no longer keep a real "journal", I mean, the one where you write every day or regularly. I only write from time to time and only in my native language. But this also has its purpose - I live abroad and don't speak my own language that often anymore so it helps me not to forget it.Also, I think a journal is ALWAYS a good idea, regardless of what language you are using. I cannot see any disadvantages, only benefits.Ania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
