Light Behind Dark Cloud
Good morning!
How are you my blogger friends? Been a while since the last time I did english post.
Last year couple of blogger friends came up with a very interesting idea, Mas Ryan, Nita and me then discussed about forming a Blog English Club. Mas Ryan posted about that in this BEC titled post. We think after my post about AFTA that was posted during my 31 Days Writing Challenge an idea about challenging ourself to post in English will be great for us to get our self used to in English writing and learn more about the languange as to prepare and improve ourself.
Having said so, we then made a Line chat group and started to call the group Blog English Club which we plan to post a theme challenge in weekly basis. We then shall make a blogpost every friday with [English Friday] in the title answering the challenge for the week.
After some other bloggers expressed their interest, we then made a WhatsApp group for bloggers who interested to chat in English. Its been around two weeks we are chit chatting about almost anything and more than 12 bloggers joined. So then I guess it is time to announce our first ever Blog English Club challenge and the theme that shall be posted on Friday 9 January 2015 is drumroll:
What is your word for 2015?!
Yes, word for 2015, what do you think yours is? For me it will be learn, or to learn. I will make more elaborated explanation about it later on. It can be food, hard work, honesty, faith or anything that can describe the year for you. Instead of resolution the word can be your theme for the year, anything you plan this year may (or may not) based on the spirit of the word.
Link your post here so that your post will be more visible and listed along with other post.
I will definitely use this as my learning space and hopefully many will learn together with us.
Have fun!

Hai, Mas Dani. Two thumbs up to you all for the awesome idea to start this blog and I would be very happy to join. Just a question for the club name: why ‘Blog English Club’ but not English Club Blog or English Blog Club or English blogger club *_^
dani
Hai Mba Dwi, Many thanks. It will be great for you to join our English club. Answering your question why the name is Blog English Club, we just thought of it simple, we want to make english club and we met through blog.
Why Not English Club Blog cause the meaning would be a blog for an english club, and not English Blog Club the meaning would be a club for english blog which is not true since we are indonesian blog. 😀
ardiologi
however, BEC should be a great idea and spread it widely would be a must!
it might be a cliche question but i will ask, “how to join this club?”
do i only have to post the full-english themed writing every friday? or anything else?
can’t wait for this unique challenge
Yanet
Same here. I wonder how can I join this club. I need to practice my english. Altough I understand what people said, it’s hard for me to express my idea in line or two. Yes, I’m passive. I want to practice mine so I can write fluently like you..
dani
Hi Mba Yanet, thanks for your interest. We are trying to set up a new way so that learning will be more efficient. Hopefully on monday a registration form will be available here. 😀
Super thanks for your interest joining the club. Meanwhile you can also join the challenge 🙂
dani
On Monday, we will try to add registration form Pak. So hopefully that you will be able to join the club. Meanwhile lets join the challenge. 😀
Thank you for your interest toward the group 🙂
ardiologi
😀 it’d be great
Okti D.
Ooo… begini to caranya…
