Why Journal?
The Gap
You’ve learned the basics, but real conversations still feel challenging:
- Words and phrases escape you when you need them most
- Grammar structures feel awkward to use spontaneously
- Switching to your native language is tempting when you’re stuck
Daily Journaling Practice
Journley helps you build confidence through personalized practice:
- Journal about your life and interests, learning vocabulary that matters to you
- Build muscle memory through consistent practice in a low-pressure environment
- Get help when you need it without breaking your language immersion
Confident Communication
See tangible progress in your language skills:
- Words and phrases come to mind faster in conversations
- Express yourself more naturally in your target language
- Track your progress over time through your journal history
Practice Makes Progress
Journley is intended to be a safe space to practice. So conjugate poorly if you need to! Don't know the actual vocab word for something? Use a phrase that gets the idea across.
Communication is messy. Lean into it!
FAQs
Can I journal privately?
Absolutely! You don't need to share your posts with anyone if you don't want to.
Who is Journley for?
Journley works best for people who are not total beginners in their second language. Having some language tools in your toolbelt already is helpful. That said, if you can form a sentence, then you can journal and Journley is a great way to practice.
Why can't I fall back to using my native language?
Journley is about practicing and learning, not perfection. To that end, it will try to help you stay immersed in your target language as much as possible. Don't worry though! If you get stuck, you can always use the help features to look up a word, phrase, or grammar.
Will Journley tell me when I make a mistake?
The goal is to get comfortable enough to express yourself with other speakers so Journley focuses on celebrating consistent rather than perfect practice. If you'd like feedback on your journals, add a study buddy who speaks the same language and they can comment on your posts.
