I think the concern about forming bad habits is real, but avoiding any writing until you’re “ready” can delay fluency.

Something that worked for me was limiting it: just 65 words a day in the target language. It forces you to think, but the risk of fossilizing mistakes is low because it’s short.

I even built a little site for this (65words.com) and it’s been fun seeing others use it. Curious if Japanese learners here think this approach makes sense.

I've been working on https://65words.com by myself for 6 months.

65 Words is an anonymous challenge to write 65+ words daily in the language you're learning.

The real focus isn't just on improving your writing but on having the opportunity to think about how you'd express something without the pressure of the moment.

There's no hidden science behind choosing 65 words. I found it’s achievable even on a very busy day.

The goal is to help learners practice daily and build confidence through consistent effort.

I built BeHabit! for me and my family. It's a simple 7x7 habit-tracking board.

For my little girls I built https://www.howdoyousayit.rodeo to practice English vocabulary.

In the past, I built Pegao.co, a bookmark to share public lists of links, but I've shut it down.
