    21 (a numbers game)

    As a group, you’re basically counting up towards 21. However, the goal is to not be the person that hits 21+. Mainly a drinking game, but I guess you could add your choice of “punishment” for losing.

    Rules

    • The game starts at 1, and ends when a player reaches 21 or more, or someone makes a mistake.
    • When it is a player’s turn, they have 3 choices: 1 number (e.g., one), 2 numbers (e.g., one two), 3 numbers (e.g., one, two, three)
    • 1 number will pass the turn to the next player depending on the direction
    • 2 numbers will reverse the direction
    • 3 numbers will skip a person in the original direction
    • The play starts with a person saying: I declare a game of 21 to my [left/right], [number(s)]
    • You can’t double a double (e.g., if person 1 says one-two, person 2 can’t follow up with three-four)
    • You can’t triple a triple (e.g., if person 1 says one-two-three, person 2 says four-five-six, then person 3 cannot say seven-eight-nine)
    • The round ends when a player makes a mistake or a player is stuck saying twenty-one.
    • A mistake includes: saying the wrong next number, saying numbers out of turn, not responding quickly enough (i.e., did not realize it was your turn)
    • The loser needs to do the punishment, and will start the next round
    • If the game reaches 21, then the player who lost gets to make a rule
    • Rules might include changing the name of a number, e.g., instead of “four” you need to bark like a dog

    Example Say we have four players, clockwise 1,2,3,4 (i.e., player 2 is to the left of player 1, and player 4 is to the right)

    1: I declare a game of 21 to my left, one-two

    4: three-four-five

    2: six

    1: seven-eight

    2: nine

    3: ten-eleven-twelve

    1: thirteen-fourteen

    4: fifteen-sixteen-seventeen

    2: nineteen-twenty

    3: twentyone (loser)

    Player 3 would get to choose a rule, and would start the next round.

    The game gets increasingly harder as new rules are introduced.

    Yep, Pimsleur to start, and then try to find very easy material in the language to consume. For example, kids shows or any shows you’ve already watched dubbed in the language you’re trying to learn (e.g., Friends in Korean).

    I think Pimsleur usually has 90 x 30min sessions, which gets you about 45hr of practice/comprehension. Then if you can consume about 150 more hrs of material, where you understand around 80-90% of what they’re saying, you should be about at a B1 level at that point.

    At that point, you can start trying to consume more difficult material. Audiobooks, podcasts, movies, music etc.
