In my L1-acquisition class two weeks ago, our professor talked about how only 9% of the speech a baby hears is single words. Everything else is phrases and sentences, onslaughts of words and meaning!

Thus, a baby not only has to learn words and their meanings but also learn to segment lots of sounds INTO words. Doyouwantalittlemoresoupyesyoudoyoucutie. Damn.

When she talked about HOW babies learn to segment words our professor said, and I love it, "babies are little statisticians" because when listening to all the sounds, they start understanding what sound is likely to come after another vs which is not.

After discussing lots of experiments done with babies, our professor added something that I already knew somewhere in my brain but didn't know I know: All this knowledge is helpful when learning an L2 as well:

Listen to natives speaking their language. Original speed. Whatever speaker. Whatever topic.

It is NOT about understanding meaning. It is about learning the rhythm of the language, getting a feeling for its sound, the combination of sounds, the melody and the pronunciation.

Just how babies have to learn to identify single words within waves of sounds, so do adults learning a language. It will help immensely with later (more intentional) listening because you're already used to the sound, can already get into the groove of the languge.

Be as brave as a baby.

You don't even have to pay special attention. Just bathe in the sound of your target language. You'll soak it up without even noticing.

As I hit another unit of Duolingo that's all about Umweltschutz, environmental protection, I'm wondering if this is a normalised German cultural thing to at least nominally care about the environment, a Duolingo thing that appears in all its courses regardless of language, or maybe neither and it was just some particularly devoted Duo course designer who really cares about environmental action

I feel moderately dumb doing kids worksheets (especially with how many tries this took me for how simple it is…) but I know logically I have to start somewhere.

I don’t enjoy the feeling dumber than a toddler part though.

Hello

Hi, I'm Lucy! I'm new to this studyblr ecosystem, and this is my first post here. :)

I'm an English Literature student, and currently, I'm also learning German language. I decided to make this account because I think sharing my learning progress on social media will make my studying more fun! Oh, and of course, I'm also looking for more friends too! Glad to meet you all :D

I think, broken down to its essence, learning a language can have three stages/goals, which can but needn't all be reached:

- Goal 1: have enough vocab and grammar to say stuff and have your message be understood

- Goal 2: have the grammar and vocab to say grammatically correct sentences

- Goal 3: be able to do creative/academic writing (meaning: have the skill+vocab to vary writing style according to the text type)

#this is probably also part of where that fluency discourse comes from #(besides fluency being super subjective in general) #because: is goal 2 already fluent? #or do you need the versatility of goal 3 to really consider yourself fluent? #german #langblr #deutsch #learning german #language learning #deutsch lernen #german language #german learning #language #german vocabulary

Okay, so I've been in Deutschland for like a little more than a month now, and self studying is hella hard. Especially when you don't have the mental power to even open the damn A1.1 book.

So, what am I doing?

First of all, Spotify playlist with 100% German songs. And not just listen passively, but trying to get what the song is about by like 2-5 words I can hear there. Sometimes I am so wrong that the sheer ridiculous makes me remember the meaning when I look it up.

Second of all, I am a ficwriter, I must not forget that. So, what I've been doing? Taking the phrases from Clozemaster as promts, and (with Google Translate + Deepl, when needed) wrote a little paragraph on my random blorbos. I can't put into words how good it is for your comprehension. Maybe I even write a bigger fic fully in German one day.

Also, I am trying to speak the little German I know to natives. It is hard, it is silly, but I am learning, and there's no shame in learning.

Tag 20-28 | 18/100 hours | 28/08/23

So basically this week I barely studied German, I only did like 2 hours in the entire week and I felt like a total failure to be honest. After careful analysis I realised I needed to re organize my goals, my plan, my study techniques and my mindset so I can make this work out the best possible. At this moment I’m in a stage where I feel like nothing works to help me get back on track but I need to see this as a period of experimentation to help me push forward. So this is my take on how to deal with failure and slumps in progress. (Inspired by selfcare-journey)

⭐️ Identify what’s not working

Personally, what’s keeping me from doing my tasks is the fact that I’m always feeling tired and I have frequent migraines; I have been sleeping less than 6 hours a day because of university and yet I haven’t done as much progress because I’m so tired, I can’t focus and therefore I worked very slowly which left me feeling lazier, very frustrated and unmotivated.

⭐️ Prioritizing health and self care

I think we have all been consumed at some point by the idea of toxic productivity where the one who works the most and sleeps the least is the best one, but ultimately enjoying learning and having quality study time will only be possible if we’re physically and mentally sane.

I feel hesitant to redefine my work hours because I feel guilty when I think of studying less, I’m scared of not meeting deadlines, but I already know that this toxic cycle isn’t working for me so I have to accept that it’s okay if I can’t study 8 hours straight, if I need more breaks than other people and it’s okay if I work slow, if I don’t grasp things quickly, it’s okay to fall behind..because I’m in the process of rewiring how I study and taking my time is better than not doing anything and giving up.

⭐️ Managing energy levels

Along with my horrid sleeping schedule this energy slump is also the result of me not eating throughout the day and then having a huge unhealthy meals later in the day, and it’s really affecting my energy levels. So I need to start keeping hydrated, doing light exercise, eating healthier and more regular meals along with having better sleep hygiene because honestly I feel half dead. I also need to go to a medical check up to figure out what’s the cause of my migraines.

⭐️ Dealing with procrastination

I think lately I really struggle with a sense of discomfort when I study because lately I associate studying with failure and frustration. So I think breaking my task into smaller bits might make it less overwhelming. When I was in therapy I learnt a lot about how to deal with intrusive thoughts and emotions so I will put some of those techniques into practice. I also want to work on self compassion and embracing the idea that even a little progress is a step closer to my goal, I think celebrating those small wins can create a positive cycle of motivation.

⭐️ Improving focus

For this aspect I will go back to the ultra short Pomodoro method. (10-15 min with 2 min break) Force myself to work for a small period of time and give myself a tiny break. It’s a pretty basic technique but the idea of this is to experiment and see how well it works for me, identify for how long I can work until things start to become difficult. I think the best breaks are those that keep you away from your phone, because 5 minutes of social media is a recipe for disaster. So I will try to do things like grab some water, stretch a bit, breathing exercises, clean my bag, walk around the room a bit, doodling, have a snack, so that I keep active but refreshed. I think being in a productive environment like a library or a cafeteria could also help to keep focused.

⭐️ Enjoying learning

Now that I’m coming across more difficult content I tend to get unmotivated, so I think the best strategy is try seeing it like a game, where I don’t focus on the learning outcome but rather focus on the process of understanding, problem solving and overcoming new challenges, perhaps that will make the journey more rewarding.

Reminding one self of why I started and connecting the connecting the content to my interests and real world applications could be really useful in boosting my curiosity and motivation as well.

⭐️ Active learning

My study sessions have turned into something very passive, just doing exercises and checking flashcards has become very boring. I think I need to re-incorporate more active learning techniques like writing in a journal in my target language and talking to native friends more.

Additionally I think I need to readjust my schedule and re organize myself so I can include these changes, track them and check for feedback, but this post is already long enough so I will make a separate one.
