I host a weekly game night in the language. Over the course of my tenure as host, I’ve realized that I want to stay away from gamified drills and practice. Instead we focus on creating communicative events where we use all our linguistic (and often extra-linguistic!) resources to negotiate meaning, and where the communication is both meaning-dependent and FUN. In other words, we do a fun activity together in which we need to be able to understand each other in order to successfully complete the task. It could be as simple as playing Charades, Pictionary, GuessWho!, Go Fish!, or Twenty Questions, or maybe even something as complex as an RPG or LARP. The sky’s the limit. It makes me think of all the people all over the world who learn English by playing video games online. Similar concept, just more scaffolded. It’s super fun and very helpful.

Hi, I seem to be stupid, but how do you do an rpg? I really want to try, but where do i start?

I'm not there yet, but I plan to practice output by playing jrpgs and voicing out lines or even trying to reply to what characters say before going to the next line. I am broke as hell and on the east coast so the opportunities i have to talk with anyone who speaks japanese is very low and just gotta make shit up as i go

One part of output is listening to the other person. By the same token, if you have a friend who speaks in your target accent then it's fun. Freeflow output is key, you can scaffold once you get to the conversational level. Stop worrying about mistakes!!! Let go 'cause you're NEVER reaching perfection

*smacks palm to forehead* perfectionism isn't fun!!! Yeah, that sure explains why I've been feeling stressed about speaking German even tho actually my spoken German is really quite good, like, my accent is not native but is decently close, I make plenty of mistakes but can always find a way to say something and can produce all the basic vocab I need. So.....yeah. It would definitely do me good to worry about comfort before improvement for the next say 25-50 hours.
