100 Prompts for Writing Practice In Your Target Language

Getting written practice in your target language can be quite the challenge. Especially, if you don't know what you want to write about. Perhaps, your level is not higher to discuss topics you are passionate about yet. That's okay, you can always look up what you don't know and then use websites, apps and tools like HiNative or italki  to get corrections from native speakers. Describe as much or as little as you want depending on your level in your target language(s).  Keep it as simple or complex as you'd like and feel free to revisit these prompts are you improve in your target language(s). Feel free to skip over prompts you don't feel are relevant to you or don't want to do. 1) What did you do today? 2) What are your plans for today/tomorrow/the weekend/this week/this month/this year? 3) Who are you?

Lexember 2025: Days 1-8

 Lexember is where conlangers create one word per day for the month of December. I participated in this language on Bluesky last year and it really helped build up my conlangs: Kalovanian, Lubenavian and Vasatulokian. It also gives me a chance to be more active on Bluesky (an alternative to Twitter that isn't as toxic as what Twitter has become). The prompts were created by David J. Peterson (creator of Dothraki, High Valryian, etc)and Jessie Peterson of the LangTime Studio podcast and author of How to Create a Language. I would recommend following them on Bluesky and using the hashtag #Lexember so that your post can be found and seen by fellow conlangers. Without further ado, here are the first 4 prompts for Lexember in Kalovanian, Lubenavian and Vasatulokian: Dec 1: A way of preparing food (e.g. Chop, grind, dice, mince) Kalovanian :  Talia /talia/- To cut, to slice, to chop, to dice, to sever, to amputate, to behead, to separate, to split apart, to tear (apart).

(From the archives) Learning Swear Words in Other Languages. A necessary evil? Discuss

  This is a subject that is almost never brought up when it comes to learning languages. It's because many people are going to be insulted or offended when they've used and could have the potential to lead to violence. I've seen many sites as well as books trying to teach you the "real" language that's actually used. Obviously, swearing is unbecoming and just because you can doesn't mean you should. But let's explore this further, shall we? Random Gibberish? Or "You're Stupid" in another language? Let me share an experience I had in a beginner's Mandarin Chinese class I took in high school. We were trying to learn new vocabulary and structures while the teacher (who is a native speaker by the way) wanted to know something about my friend at the time. (We are no longer friends but it wasn't because of this incident though). He decided to spit out some random gibberish while the teacher immediately picked it up as  你好笨啊 ( nǐ shé bèn...
