How to learn a language the fun (and easy) way:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1 - Watch native films/dramas
This is not only fun, but will also help your ears adjust to the speed and tones of native speakers. You will start to differentiate individual words and sounds. This is not a voice over or language teacher speaking - these are natives who speak rapid-fire, and with lots of slang thrown in. You'll also learn about the country's culture, etiquette rules and general way of life.
Matt vs Japan (YouTube) learnt Japanese through watching anime. You can also learn through native resources like manga. And this is how babies learn naturally - through an endless stream of language input. Eventually they recognise word, intonation and grammar patterns.
For free Korean/Japanese/Chinese dramas check out Viki, or you can find a variety of languages on Netflix, or even YouTube (good for Russian ones!)
2 - Find a translated version of books/films
If you know a book series by heart, find the translated version and go through them slowly. Since you already know the plot, you'll associate new words with their meanings much faster. You can also do this with films you've watched repeatedly, like the Disney classics.
3 - Chat with natives
Use apps like HelloTalk, Tandem or Hilokal to chat (for free!) with native speakers around the world. Honestly, this is the fastest way to learn, especially because they use everyday expressions/slang. It's also the most fun way because you're essentially just making foreign friends.
4 - Browse the internet in your TL
YouTube, twitter, Tumblr, forums, whatever. Google a recipe in Spanish. Check the news in German. Create a YouTube account specifically for Arabic. You can also make Spotify playlists in your TL, and listen to them instead of your usual native ones.
5 - Create content
Compose a song
Keep a diary
Start a blog
Create a YouTube channel
Write a passionate essay
Write a short story
...in your target language.
6 - Latch onto something cultural you love
Fall in love with Russian literature and start wading your way through Crime and Punishment. Get obsessed with Hindi Bollywood movies, or Italian opera, or Japanese anime/manga. Research into your TL country's history in that foreign language. Binge Korean dramas or kpop idol interviews. Anything, as long as you're passionate about it.
Hope that helps, and let me know if you have any other ideas :)

So earlier today in the beginners study group I talked about a vocab book I used a lot when I first started studying. It is Word by Word, a Korean-English picture dictionary targeted for younger Korean kids.
It has a lot of pretty thorough sections on a load of everyday subjects that people seemed interested in, so I thought I’d be helpful to share.

Tips to Make a Language You’re “Forced” to Learn More Interesting/Enjoyable
Not everyone learning a second or third, or even fourth, language is doing it purely out of a desire to connect to a language or culture. Sometimes, you’re doing it because you have to for some reason or another.
Maybe you’re being relocated for work to a country where you don’t speak the language. Now it’s either learn Turkish to at least a survivable degree or be stuck using translator apps for the remainder of your stay.
You got a job as a cashier and it turns out a lot of the customers passing through only speak Spanish and you’re tired of the awkward mishaps that happen when you’re cashing said customers out.
You’re a first year student in high school and the only languages offered at your school are languages you have no interest in, but it’s a graduation requirement. Now you’re stuck picking the one you can tolerate the most for a school year so you can pass the class and get it over with.
Regardless of the reason, you’re stuck learning it for the foreseeable future and it’s not necessarily because you wanted to. We’ve all been there at some point, myself included. When something is more of an obligation, it’s pretty difficult to maintain any level of passion or interest for it, especially outside of class. I feel like that’s especially true for languages you had no interest in learning before suddenly being in a situation where you had to. The best advice honestly is to try and make the language more interesting to you personally that way, at least to some level, it’s less of a chore to study.
So for the language learners tied to a language due to obligation, these were my tips and tricks I did in addition to using the textbook and class. I’m not saying these are things that will make you fall head over heels for your TLO (Target Language of Obligation), but hopefully these are tips that will make your TLO a little more fun.
(TLDR at the end.)
Find content creators in your TLO that talk about things you like
I’m not talking about educational channels dedicated to teaching the language you’re learning like the Pod101 channels or Superholly. I mean entertainment.
You a fan of Danny Gonzalez or Jarvis Johnson reacting to terrible movies? Find an equivalent of them in your TLO. You like makeup tutorials or storytime videos? Look up ‘GRWM in Korean’, ‘メイクのチュートリアル’  or ‘storytime em português’. Or maybe you enjoy a good book review, or a review trashing 50 Shades of Gray for the tenth time in a row. ‘Reseña de 50 shades of gray’. Your language doesn’t need to be perfect, even the most basic vocabulary will get the point across and lead you to plenty of videos to choose from.
Vlogs, art, anime, song covers, Animal Crossing streams/speed builds etc. etc. It doesn’t matter. Use the amount of vocab you already know (or quickly searched on google) and make the youtube search bar your new best friend.
The same can be applied to other social media platforms like Twitter or Instagram. If you like anime, find those anime news accounts on twitter but in French. If you enjoy content that discuss all things concerning the LGBTQ+ community, look up the equivalent terms in your TLO and start your search for those content creators.
This is a more interesting way to pick up on new vocabulary whether spoken or written, in a video and its comment section or on an Instagram caption.
Watch a show you’ve already seen, dubbed or subtitled in your TLO
If you’re a fan of anime or a user of Disney+, you are especially in luck. Shows like Boku no Hero Academia/My Hero Academia or The Owl House have been dubbed and subtitled all over in various languages due to their popularity. You can find entire episodes of the Moomin anime in Spanish on youtube.
You already know what’s going on because you’ve seen it in your native tongue, so you can pick and choose the least niche vocabulary and write it down on your notepad. Not to mention, this it is something you already like you might pay a bit more attention to it.
Additional tip: find a show in your TLO on Netflix subtitled in your language. Like murder mysteries? Rom-coms? Comedies? Netflix has a plethora of foreign films to watch that caters to various genres that could be in a language you’re learning. Try watching a foreign show with a plot that garners your interest.
Listen to Music in your TLO
We all have genres of music we enjoy listening to and there are usually singers of those genres in other countries. Rap, hip hop, pop, folk music specific to a country, you will find it somewhere. Just go to youtube search something like like ‘hip hop spanish’ and just click on one of those automatic playlist things youtube will suggest to you.
By doing that, I’ve found artists I personally enjoy listening to this day like IZA, Seu Jorge, Kaho Nakamura, Chila Lynn and Maluma.
Use Buzzfeed. I wish I was joking
Buzzfeed is certainly not the titan of the internet it used to be. And to quote Cody Ko, a lot of the times (especially nowadays) they tend to “Buzzfeed us some terrible content”. But the simple language and formatting of Buzzfeed articles and quizzes, make it a surprisingly effective way to learn new vocabulary.
Just by doing a ‘Which member of Anavitória are you ’(Quem é você no duo Anavitória?) quiz on Buzzfeed Brazil I was able to learn the Portuguese equivalents of red (vermelho), black (preto), yellow (amarelo), & white (branco) and Brazilian celebrities, among other vocab. A lot of the time videos on the youtube channels are either subtitled in the language or there are videos unique to those channels in the language.
This way, especially if you’re not a fan of Buzzfeed, you can laugh about the cringe in a different language while getting something out of it. Buzzfeed gets views and interactions, you get education and a good laugh. It’s mutually beneficial for everyone involved.
Try learning a little bit about a country that speaks your TLO or some Colloquialisms
Regardless of how anti-social some of us, myself included, can be I think deep down we all care about other people even if we don’t know them. We like seeing others succeed, we hate seeing others struggling, and to some extent we all recognize there is a shit ton of people living in the world that we don’t know. 
We don’t know anything about them and we don’t know their language or anything about the culture they grew up in. A culture that shapes how they interact with and view the world and how they may view people who come from your country. I feel like we all experience levels of sonder like that, especially if you’re someone who watches a lot of vlog content which really puts into perspective how you are seeing a small window into someone else’s life even if for a few minutes.
So try personalizing your TLO to some degree by learning about a country or culture that speaks it. 
Holidays, cultural quirks, historical figures, or idioms. You get some of that if you’re taking a language class, but try taking it outside your textbook.
Interested in art and learning Spanish? Try learning about artists from Equatorial Guinea and why they made a particular piece.
Interested in the aesthetic of weddings? Learn about wedding traditions in countries that speak your TLO.
Learning Turkish? Look up interesting factoids about certain words and phrases and their translations. For instance, the words for ‘Good Morning’ (günaydın) and ‘Good Night’ (tünaydın) respectively and literally translate to “the day is bright” and “the night is bright”.
In Brazilian Portuguese, there’s a phrase “ficar de conchinha”/”dormir de conchinha that means to cuddle that translates to “stay/sleep like little shells” which is really adorable. Another way to say Halloween is Dia das Bruxas which translates to ‘day of the witches’ and Dia dos Namorados which translates to ‘day of the lovers’.
One thing that also really developed my interest in Latin America when I was learning Spanish was looking at vlogs and seeing people walking around in their cities and noticing the differences in architecture. I also enjoy watching no commentary videos of people walking in different cities and feeling like I’m in that country myself seeing the sights and sceneries. (Ex ‘walking in Venice Italy, no commentary’.)
Look up Memes & the Meme Culture of your TLO
Everyone loves a good laugh so try to get some appreciation out of your TLO by learning about some of the memes or jokes. And not all jokes or memes are appreciated unless you know a specific language and culture that goes along with it.
For instance, when my at-the-time girlfriend told me about a little show called La Rosa de Guadalupe. Which she prefaced that, at least in Mexico the show’s origin country, it was a huge meme of a show because it was in a novela-like format with bad acting to go along with serious topics. One episode she told me about specifically was an episode about a girl with a cellphone addiction that escalated to a point where her mom threw her phone out the window, and then the girl jumped out the window for the phone. But through the power of a white rose and La Virgen de Guadalupe, her problems were solved.
It sounded so ridiculous, I had to see it for myself. So she sent me a video by a youtuber, Missasinphonia, who made commentary/reaction videos in Spanish about the show. 
It’s hard to be disinterested in a language if you’re getting a laugh out of it. And even if you don’t understand most of what’s being said, the visuals alone can lead to a laugh due to body language and tone giving you an idea of what’s going on. This especially becomes true as you learn more vocab that makes the videos or captions of a meme easier to understand.
Tldr:
Find content creators in your TLO that talk about things you enjoy
Watch things you’ve already seen in your TLO (dubbed, subbed, or both)
Listen to Music in your TLO
Use Buzzfeed, I wish I was joking
Try learning a little bit about a country that speaks your TLO or Colloquialisms
Look up the Meme Culture of your TLO
And that’s it. I hope this helps someone out. I’ve always seen posts or videos about how to enhance your language learning experience for languages you’re already interested in, but never anything about a language you’re NOT interested in. So I wanted to do something with that.
Like I said, this is by no means, tips to make you 100% fall in love with your TLO. I did with Spanish, but that’s not going to be the case for everyone else and the moment you no longer have to learn/use your TLO, you’re going to forget it quite quickly.
But hopefully, these are tricks that can help it become a bit more tolerable to learn.

one thing about learning languages is that yes, learning in itself is fun but what’s even greater is the fact that all your other interests and hobbies can be looked at with another shade of light. I personally love philosophy and to be able to read another language’s nuances and concepts and understand it more than you ever could with a translation? incredible.

NEW YEAR, NEW ME
( A collab with thee lovely lele @bloombabydoll )
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you want to reinvent and rebrand yourself, or just continue to make positive improvements in 2024, the first thing is to evaluate your current year. 
EVALUATION
Reflect on how things went for you. Was there continuous growth? Were there many difficult times? Did you discover anything major about yourself and so on. Try to summarise your year in (a) paragraph(s) at least. 
Oversee your goals. Which ones you didn’t, did achieve, difficult ones, easy ones and the impacts it had on your life. 
Compare your dream girl then and now. Is your visualisation of your life currently different to the one you have now and why? 
List any major losses or successes you’ve had in your life, and how they have helped you or why it matters to you. 
This evaluation can be as detailed or simple as you like, but as long as you have a decent outline of your year. 
PREPARING & PLANNING
To prepare for 2024, you want to know what you want life to be like in 2024. Something realistic to a point, but still is a growth journey. 
Think of something that you can associate with 2024. This can be a word, a symbol, art, a song, a book, a movie, a place, or even just all of these things. When you think about your goals and your journey, this is your theme. This is something that should relate to your goals or your dream girl somehow. 
For me, I chose a word and a song. My word is growth because, for me, 2023 was a year for just being able to shed my old self which I did achieve however I just felt there wasn’t much growth as an actual person and not just in my environment. 
For my song, it is Mayflowers by Proleters and Taskrok. This song is the epitome of what I would imagine, is the most polished mindset. I would say perfect, but having a perfect mindset is near impossible. I want to have a mindset glow up because I’ve just been hard on myself lately which has caused my confidence to plummet. 
Before we get into the fun part of the preparation stage, we have to do some organisation in our life. I want you to take a look at your daily lifestyle and your habits, and be completely unashamed about this. 
Then categorise these habits into two sections; Leave and Leap. Leave habits are habits that you are leaving behind in 2023, leap habits are habits that are leaping into 2024 with you. 
Any habits that are self-destructive, addictive or generally harmful are leave habits. Beneficial habits and self-building are leaping with you into the new year.
I want you to do the same for people in your life, all environments (school, work, online etc) and anything else you believe needs to be sorted out. 
This works better if you can reason with yourself why it is a leaping or leaving habit, but don’t try to convince yourself a bad habit is good or vice versa. 
Now, I want you to document an honest paragraph about who you are right now. List your bad and good habits, your strengths and weaknesses and your behaviours. This one requires a bit more detail. 
Then, write a paragraph about who you will be in 2024, your dream girl. List her habits, lifestyle, behaviours, mindset, strengths and anything else extra. I’ll explain later but do not include materialistic desires in this your dream girl. Once again, this one also requires details. 
Stemming from those paragraphs, I want you to create specific and achievable goals. SMART goals are best, but I want to introduce you to how I set goals. 
I divide my year into quarters. For each 3 months, I have 3-5 goals for those months. Usually, it’s one from each area of my life. Then, I break down these goals. 
Questions and How They Help 
Why do I want to do this goal - For motivation and commitment. 
How it’ll benefit me - For the sake of improvement. 
How can I involve myself in this goal - To achieve your goal.  
I prefer this method because it is a lot simpler for me, as I am just a young girl and my bigger goals are more in the future in which I’ll utilise SMART goals. 
To create good goals; Make sure they align with your current values and life principles first. Try to avoid creating goals that you have just taken from the internet. Those goals just aren’t it and you most likely won’t follow through with it. 
Be specific. Don’t say you want to eat more healthily, instead say you want to include (a certain group of veggies/fruits) in your diet and reduce the intake of ( food/drink). 
E.g using eating healthy example
I want to eat healthy -> I want to start including foods that boost my immunity system and support my skin while reducing those that have the opposite effect. 
Then break down those quarterly goals into monthly, weekly and daily goals. Make these habits that you can establish in your lifestyle and have a way in which you can refer back to your progress. 
EXAMPLE GOAL BREAKDOWN
Quarterly Goal - Read 6 books.  
Monthly Goal - Finish 2 books.
Weekly Goal - Be or near half way of one book.
Daily Goal - 20 minutes of reading per day. 
AREAS TO SET GOALS IN YOUR LIFE
Academics
Spiritual
Fitness/sport
Health and wellbeing
Mental health
Personal life
Relationships
Hobbies and recreation
Now for the best part- vision boards! Collect all of your favourite images that embody your quarters or the whole year, then put them in one place where you can see them regularly!
Some ideas are a scrapbook, Pinterest boards, mood boards, playlists etc. 
Choose your theme; It can be your healthy girl era, your academic come back or whatever you want. You can have more than two btw.
Use quotes! Then actually say them in your daily life as a way to shift your mindset to reflect said quote.
Include inspirational people. It doesn't even have to be a millionaire or a very well established person, it could be your friends or someone on the internet.
Be imaginative. Your vision board doesn't have to realistic in my opinion, as the whole point of it to me is that viewing it daily and considering it to be part of your life one day allows for you to open up to those opportunities.
Materialistic Wants
I feel obligated to make this a separate section. This section is practically tangible objects that you want.
However, when choosing this said object that you want, mindfully think about why you want that thing specifically.
It doesn’t have to be meaningful, but as long as each thing on that list has got a purpose to you, and will serve you, I think it’s all good!
Conclusion
If you want, you can definitely start implementing habits before January. However, I believe that as long as you go into 2024 at least knowing who you want to be and shedding away any limiting beliefs, you’ll be fine.
Make sure to incorporate some self care rituals into your daily life as well✨
To end this, I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas! And that 2024 they will achieve to close that gap with their current selves and their dream girl selves! 💖🙏

If you’re learning Korean, you might have encountered the word “어차피” (eo-cha-pi) at some point. It’s a useful word that can be translated to “anyway,” “in any case,” or “after all.” When you use “어차피,” you’re often indicating that something is inevitable or necessary, regardless of other circumstances. To use “어차피”, you simply need to add it to the sentence. E.g. 어차피 늦었으니까 천천히 와. (It’s late anyway, so take your time.) 어차피 다른 선택지가 없어. (There’s no other option anyway.) 그 사람은 어차피 나를 싫어하는 거야. (That person hates me, after all.) “어차피” is often used with grammar like ~(으)니까 or -(으)ㄴ/는데 to add more context. E.g. 어차피 해야 할일이니까 빨리 하고 끝내는게 좋지않겠어요? (Because it’s something you have to do anyway, isn’t it better to hurry up and finish it?) 어차피 시간이 없는데 일찍 가는 게 좋을 거야. (Anyway, since we don’t have much time, it’s better to leave early.) 어차피 지나간 일이니까 다시 말하지 말아요. (Since it’s a thing of the past anyway, let’s not talk about it again.) 어차피 밖에 비가 내리고 있는데 조금더 이야기를 나누자 (It’s raining outside anyway, so let’s talk a little bit more.)
