30 day French challenge

Hello lovely people!
I am back, following up my 'Try something new for 30 days' post. My 30 day French challenge got off to a great start. I've been wanting to improve my French for a long time but never seem to find the time, so I really enjoyed the purpose of trying to do a little every day. At the moment I'm using the DuoLingo app and I really like it. I managed a 19 day streak using DuoLingo every day but I have to admit it all went a little wrong after that! I definitely didn't manage 30 days straight but the challenge has really spurred me on. I've rediscovered my love for French and ordered a GCSE French revision guide, something I wouldn't have considered before I started my challenge.
For a little reminder of where it all started, here is the video that inspired me.

Now I'm off to decide on my next 30 day challenge... let me know if you do one too! 

Try something new for 30 days

I've been a big fan of TED talks for a few years now, I've learnt so much and been truly inspired by some of the talks. Today a playlist popped up of 11 talks to watch when you're stuck in a rut. Although I'm very busy at the moment I feel like life is very samey and I need something new to challenge me, so I was excited to watch these talks. The first is a talk I watched a long time ago but had forgotten all about, but today it was just what I needed! Here it is...



And so here I am to commit myself to starting 30 day challenges, I have a few ideas of things I want to do, pretty simple things I do anyway, but I often find time drifting and realise I haven't taken a photo or listened to some music for a week or more. I also set a goal last December to start learning French again and I can't say I've learnt much yet! Motivation is what I needed and I feel inspired now. Expect another blog post in 30 days telling you about a challenge I have completed (hopefully!).
