learning languages study guide
daily:
♡ vocabulary and grammar practice
♡ lessons (i have four lessons per week at school. if you don't already take lessons, look into free language courses on alison, coursera or 101 languages)
once per week:
♡ translate a short text (i like to translate my journal entries)
one per fortnight/month:
♡ watch a movie in your target language, preferably animated movies as the language used is easier. you can watch with subtitles
additionally:
♡ talk to yourself; your friends; your pets in your target language
♡ text with someone in your target language
♡ repeat what you hear (in a podcast, lesson or movie)
luck with your language learning❤️

Summer is here already?!
Most of April consisted of :-
a) crying about global warming and heatwaves
b) frustration because the heat is stopping me from doing anything productive
c) being at the peak of productivity and completing all the assignments
d) being burnt out and not being able to do anything for the rest of the month
e) taking small trips and recovering from tiredness while also falling ill due to heat
honestly, it’s supposed to be spring right now! and it feels like summer near the equators.
I took a small trip to the hill yesterday, perks of living by the cost and the hills i suppose? it really helped me with me being burnt out but hey we all need break sometimes!
I hope to be more productive from now on. Plus this week consist of tests everyday! Hopefully I survive this month and the next.

23.04.2024 // some affect theory and writing on a fairly warm day. i'm taking it slow this week, mostly because i feel lazy and kind of...blah.
affect always escapes any attempt to explain or understand it because it lies outside of language or cognition. perhaps that explains why affect seems so vague and abstract. im trying to figure out if affect theory will be useful for my research but I won't pursue it if it continues to be beyond my grasp.

22nd April - 22 Days until Finals
I didn't study much on the 21st so u can say studying for almost 5 hrs was some guilt-driven motivation, but it helped :)
I haven't been going out a lot even tho the doc said i must "breath fresh air" everyday. So i played some badminton with my brother yesterday (i was so bad at it) but something's better than nothing.
From tmrw i want to get out consistently atleast once a day /goal 🎯
Stuff i did:
Textbook reading/summarizing
Made flashcards for 1 chp
Revised 1 chp (this was a first bcs i havnt finished half the chps so revision for 1 is great)
23 cards reviewed
I want to keep up with yesterday's flow even today, so manifesting a productive day for me as well as you 💖🫶

🌱9 killers of our mental growth🌱
Statements "This is boring." This phrase kills curiosity, which is one of the main stimuli for your cognitive interest. What seems unnecessary to us today, may become a key to new opportunities tomorrow.
Uniformity of consumed information. I.e. reading the same blogs, forums, authors, watching the same shows, communicating with the same people, etc. Expand your circle of interests, avoid stagnation.
Seeking easy ways out. We don't like to burden ourselves - and it's a mistake. Complex situations require a person to focus their mental abilities, thus developing the brain's potential.
Lack of aspirations. If you convince yourself that you have achieved optimal results, your development automatically stops. Avoid thinking that you have climbed high enough. Move forward, desiring more.
Absence of questions. As soon as you stop asking yourself why, you are immediately at risk of falling into a routine. Ask yourself why, for what purpose you are doing this or that. Those who recklessly submit to circumstances eventually become limited.
Refusal of creativity. You think that creative endeavor is not for you. Your confidence is the restraining factor, the boundaries you cannot cross, the enemies of development. Stop limiting yourself, just realize your potential.
Lack of resistance. If you surround yourself with people who always agree with you on everything, it's not always good. Such an atmosphere may be useful for your self-esteem and peace of mind. Truth is born in argument, and diverse contacts do not allow you to be bored.
Refusal of ambitions. Sometimes, after a failure, you do not allow yourself to dream big. Overcome your fear, otherwise your failure will remain with you. Small desires bring small victories, and they do not bring satisfaction.
Lack of role models. Often, we cannot establish our own scale of improvement. However, it is easy to do by orienting yourself to other people. Someone reads a lot, someone is erudite, someone is captivated by an idea - practically every person has a special trait worthy of respect, to which you can strive.
