8 / 14 days of productivity

the first half of my books arrived!! this may seem odd, but I've never bought physical copies of books before, and always just pirated digital versions... But now that I have the cash and know I'll be staying in one spot for a while I thought I'd splurge 🤩

I'll be re-organising my study plan around these now.

☲  | my recent strategy of consistent vocab mining and using my ANKI decks purely as prompts is really paying off so far !

ש   | steady steady ^^  I’m finally at the stage where I start being more instinctive when met with new concepts and sentences ~ Planning to find more diverse material and such soon.

14/15 day language challenge

A book your read that you loved and why

This year I read She is a Haunting by Trang Thanh Tran. (old picture)

It was interesting first if all to see the perspective of a character who in many ways is torn between her family's culture and the culture of the place she's now living, the disconnect and alienation felt in both countries feeling as though she doesn't entirely belong in either. I can't say anything about how accurate that portrayal is because I'm not Vietnamese and my entire family has always lived in Australia so if you have a perspective on this I'd love to hear it!

I also really enjoyed the horror aspects, as much as I also hated them because [spoiler] I am SO afraid of parasites. [end spoiler] I don't hate it because it's bad horror it was great, it just specifically hit on something I'm terrified of, and that's also one of the things that made it so good! If you like horror I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot!

Langblr Reactivation Challenge: Week 1 Day 2

Didn't upload for a day or two bc uhh shit happened, it's all good now though. Anyway, I like this prompt a lot because although I do set goals for language learning, I don't usually write them down.

Short term:

🇫🇷 Je veux améloirer mes aptitudes à parler et à écouter en regardant des films et des séries français et en parlant avec des natifs.

🇷🇺 Я хочу улучшить свою грамматику и привыкнуть к падежам.

🇺🇦 I just want to be able to write this goal in Ukrainian 🥲

Long term:

🇫🇷Après lycée, je veux aller à l'université en France (ou peut-être au Canada à une université qui enseigne en français ?), et aussi je veux être traucteur ou un profession similaire. 

🇷🇺 Я хочу уметь читать романы, я очень люблю Преступление и наказание, и я хочу эго читать на русском языке.

🇺🇦 I want to reach A2 in speaking and writing by the end of next year (so like 14 months) and B2 in reading and listening. It's a big gap between the two but comprehension is a lot easier lol

#ukrainian is so frustrating for me bc like. i can understand basic things in a conversation #but as soon as i try to respond i screw up either the spelling or pronunciation and sound like an idiot #cause like. my russian teacher who i had for two years was ukrainian so obviously that affected my pronunciation in russian #which is fine because it's still understandable if i pronounce щ like шч or don't do the о->а thing #but then in ukrainian i'll mess up and try to pronounce и like і or г like ґ #and putting russian pronunciation on ukrainian just feels worse than the other way around yknow? #anywayy #langblr reactivation challenge #french langblr #russian langblr #ukrainian langblr

15-Week Hindi learning review

Heyyo, it's time to recap my Hindi studies a little:

Listening (15 out of 15 weeks) So most of the listening has been just Spotify - my new car has a Bluetooth connection so I can listen (and sing along) even while driving to work - how cool is that! Actually, this makes listening so effortless, that from now on I'll be only counting listening comprehension if I listen to something else than songs alone. On that note, I've been listening to audiobooks too, first Devdas and having finished that I've started Nirmala - still in the very beginning though. I also tried listening to a BBC news podcast and it was surprisingly pleasant and understandable.

Speaking (14 out of 15 weeks) Okay, I admit, I've only had two (2! २!!) lessons with my iTalki tutor during all this time and I feel a bit disappointed realising that. But I've been busy in a good way, going places and seeing people so I won't be too hard on myself. What I started doing to compensate though, is a bit silly. I started talking to myself in my car! I'm just narrating my plans for the day, like "अब मैं दफ़्तर जा रही हूँ और शाम को मैं अपनी बेटी को डांस क्लास में ले जाऊँगी". I've noticed that repeating simple sentences like these has improved the consistency in my grammar - or maybe I see improvement because I am speaking out loud. Either way, I think it's working!

Watching (11 out of 15 weeks) I managed to watch three Hindi films during this period, a short crime series and an episode of Mismatched - so not too shabby. I also think it was a smart move to use the Langblr News Challenge as an opportunity to watch news clips - the vocabulary is contemporary and the reporters articulate very clearly (the people they interview are a different story altogether though). The BBC News videos don't have subtitles at all so it's actually been a nice and quite literally a challenge to try to understand the main points based on just the video and short written info texts.

Reading (10 out of 15 weeks) Alongside Devdas and Nirmala I've been continuing Sudha Murty's लोकप्रिय कहानियाँ after a long break. It's nice to notice that reading prose is getting slowly easier - I'm reaching the point where I can estimate or guess a meaning of a new word from context or by recognizing stems, prefixes or suffixes. I also think that I am accumulating more vocabulary than before, maybe for the same reason. New words seem to often make sense to me, as compared to the beginning when everything seems just random and unpredictable.

Grammar (10 out of 15 weeks) I've opened a grammar book in 10 of 15 weeks, sometimes even twice in one week, but there's nothing to brag about here. Not real progress has happened grammar-wise. But I still like to think that even slow steps are steps in the right direction.

Writing (10 out of 15 weeks) I've only written two video scripts during this time, but the News Challenge has offered another opportunity for writing, even if my summaries are short. Again it's proven to be impossible to do everything full-time, all the time, simultaneously. Oh, woe is me!

Tässä on muutama sivu suomeksi. Minä en omista paljon oppikirjoja suomeksi vielä. Minulla on Fred Karlssonin 'Finnish: An Essential Grammar'. Se on melko hyödyllinen ja hyvin kirjoitettu.

[indigostudies]

to start off my blog, i thought i would do a langblr challenge, so i've chosen to do the 14 Day Langblr Challenge (originally by lass-uns-studieren, who has since deactivated; you can find the original post here). for day one, i'll be talking about my target languages, and why i want to learn them.

my current target languages are chinese, german, and arabic. i'm studying other languages as well, but these are the "main" ones.

chinese is a language i study because i was born and raised in china, and i speak it natively. however, i wasn't able to attend public schools as a foreigner, so i wasn't able to learn much reading and writing. however, the language is very important to me, and i treasure it. i plan to eventually study chinese as a post-grad as well, should i have the time and money, and i'd like to get to the point in written and reading form where i can translate cnovels into english and make them more accessible to others.

german is a language i started studying out of spite—everyone told me spanish is more useful, but since i was forced to take a year of spanish against my will, even though i don't have any dislike of the language itself, it made me unwilling to try and learn it. however, i later realised that german is an important language in finance, which was the field i planned on going into for a long time, and a field that's at least partially related to the field i'm planning on going into now. also, i have a number of family members who emigrated to germany who i'd like to visit, and it's always good to know the language of the place you're visiting.

finally, arabic is a language i've been able to read for most of my life, but which i never actually understood. as a muslim, i had to take religious studies classes, and as a result, learnt how to read arabic. while i am no longer a practicing muslim, arabic is a very important language in southwest asian and north africa, the region i'm from, and it's a language i've always found to be very beautiful.

that's all for today! see you all tomorrow!

14-day Language Challenge: Day 1

Your target languages and why you want to learn them.

Japanese: I first got into Japanese when I was still in high school. I wanted to learn it because I heard it was the ‘hardest’ language to learn as a native English speaker (yes I know that it’s not that simple to determine how ‘easy’ or ‘hard’ a language is, but 14-year-old me didn’t). As you might imagine, this wasn’t a compelling enough reason for me to actually get off my ass and start studying. The reason I started actually learning Japanese was because I fell in love with Japanese literature, and wanted to start learning the language they’d written in. I’m still a beginner and I know that it’ll take me many years to be at the level where I can read novels in Japanese, but that’s still the goal that motivates me.

Russian: There are a three reasons why I’m learning Russian. The first (which will sound familiar to you) is because I love Russian literature - my favorite authors are the Japanese Natsume Soseki and Russian Bulgakov and Dostoevsky. The second is that many of my friends are native Russian speakers and it’s nice to be able to talk to people in languages other than English. The third is that my college has a very strong Russian department - this is what motivated me to start taking Russian classes rather than self-studying - and the faculty are all absolutely wonderful and kind people.

Finnish: The origins of my Finnish interest are because I’m a huge nerd. I read that Tolkien’s inspiration for the Children of Hurin came from the Finnish Kalevala, so I got curious, especially since it’s a non-Indo-European European language. Once I started reading about Finnish, it seemed like the kind of language I’d love. Robust case system? Check. Vowel harmony? Check. Agglutinative? Check. However, since I’m a student first and foremost, I have to prioritize the languages I take at college, and my Finnish progress is very slow.

So that’s why I’ve picked my target languages! I really do love them all, and there are so many more languages I want to learn but don’t have the time for so if you want to hear more about why I picked these in particular, send me an ask!

31 Days of Productivity- Day 14

It’s been a few days since I posted on this. Almost a week haha oops 😅. I had a health condition flare up, and it took most of my energy to deal with that.

But today I was back at it! I finished up my university coursework for the week, got some committee tasks completed, and went for two walks.

It was a beautiful day here today, so I took advantage of the nice weather. I plan to stay inside and study Italian some more tomorrow.

I am already looking forward to Monday and a new week of engaging coursework. This weekend I am looking forward to relaxing and hopefully getting the front garden weeded.
