Similar to the WaniKani forums, which has a Japanese only subcategory, I think it would be nice if something like that would be added to the Natively forums as well for the corresponding languages (which are currently Japanese, German, Spanish and Korean). This would allow fellow language lerners to practice production (if they decide to participate) and reading (if they decide to lurk).
Not an important information, but: The main reason I made this request is because of Haruna’s Daily Diary over on the Bunpro forums, as she is a native Japanese speaker, and I thought I could do something similar for German to help German learners! I don’t want to write a diary, though, because I’m not motivated enough, that’s why I thought a subcategory for writing only in these languages would be nice. I’m not sure if this is relevant for the Natively forums, as it is more focused on reading and watching, but in my opinion, it would be nice to have in a language learning forum. This is my first request, so I hope I didn’t do anything wrong
I think it’d be lovely! Although, I think if you start a topic in German / Japanese / any language category stating that it’s foreign language only, that’d be great as a beginning!
So I say go for it on a german-only topic, let’s see the traction
FYI, we’re still very small in german so don’t be too alarmed if there aren’t that many bites, but we do also have a lot of german natives hanging about… it’d be interesting regardless
I’ll try to launch the thread tomorrow. I can probably also launch one for Japanese, if that’s ok with you, but I’ll need one or two days because my Japanese isn’t that good yet, but I think good enough to start such a thread.
Ok, I’ve now launched a thread for German and Japanese only. I’m pretty sure that I made some mistakes in the OP for Japanese, so if anyone finds any mistakes, please let me know so that I can fix them!
I just launched a thread for Korean! Don’t mind the mistakes for now, I’ll reread that introduction in the morning, when I’m more awake.
Edit: After rereading it, I don’t think I made any obvious mistakes, at least none that I could notice. But still, feel free to correct me!
