Embarking on the journey of expressive journaling in a new language can be both exhilarating and challenging.
In the Journal in French Club, we understand the nuances of this endeavor, which is why each month, I share short & valuable tips that can transform your daily writing practice.
My first tip for you today is very simple but not so easy to implement:
Tip #1: Dedicate Time to Your Journal in French
Daily practice is the key to improving your French skills, but that doesn't mean you have to dedicate hours each day.
A few minutes are enough to make a real difference.
However, it's essential to reserve a specific time for yourself every day. Regardless of the duration, find a slot that you can exclusively set aside for your journal. Whether it's in the morning, during a lunch break, or before bedtime, this moment belongs to you. To you, to your promises, and to your French aspirations :)
How to Succeed
Choose this moment in advance—for example, "every day during my breakfast."
Prepare your materials in advance: your journal, your favorite pen, stickers, and washi tape if you like using them, etc.
Set yourself a personal challenge: I must write every day for at least 5 minutes.
Over time, you'll see that it's not so difficult, and you'll develop a new identity. You are now someone who writes in French every day, regardless of your mood, the outcome, or the weather outside.
I promise you, it works.
