Language calendar

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The language calendar is a (usually tear-off ) calendar that deals with native and foreign language topics. The underlying idea is to encourage people to deal with the language regularly and continuously at time intervals ( day , week ) in an entertaining way .

They offer grammar , spelling or vocabulary exercises. By tearing it off, a short exercise that only takes a few minutes can be done every day in order to train and maintain language skills in this way .

In the native language , such language calendars also contain linguistic cases of doubt, typical sources of errors in grammar, spelling and style , idioms , language puzzles and language games , but also quotations , aphorisms and winged words like those found in other calendars.

In the case of foreign languages , the focus is on teaching new vocabulary and consolidating basic vocabulary . In addition, however, content is also recorded as described for native-speaking calendars.
