Building Habits for Language Learning
Tumblr media
Possibly the most important thing you can do when looking to learn a language, is to carve it into your daily schedule. Once you make a habit out of it, the discipline which you have created for yourself will help carry you through the advanced stages of this language.
In this video I discuss my goals I set for myself in 2023 and how I will accomplish them. 
youtube
As a follow up, I have created this January Recap in which I talk about my progress so far and how I build these habits while maintaining a full work-week.
youtube
specifically, I discuss:
- setting reasonable goals
- obtaining some while putting others on the back-burner
- burnout and how to avoid it
- what it means to be productive
- SPECIAL BONUS; what we can learn from the French 32-hour work-week
I hope it is helpful!

How to Learn ひらがな (Hiragana) in a Week
Spend the first five days studying (ideally) 10 Basic Characters per day.
Tumblr media
To remember them use Mnemonics (watch this video):
youtube
Or if you prefer, read this short Book (free pdf download here):
Practice what you've learned each day by doing the exercises in the book, or in general by reading, listening and writing hiragana (with proper Stroke Order). The more you practice, the better you will get.
Some other resources:
youtube
youtube
Once you are confident with normal hiragana you can start learning Diacritical Marks (Dakugen and Handakugen), Double Consonants and Contracted Sounds:
youtube
Tumblr media
Practice (huuuge playlist):
Another one (it has Katakana videos in it as well):
Stories to read:
Extra credit:
If you have time you can watch videos or listen to music in Japanese to get used to how it sounds and maybe even pick up some words.
youtube
youtube
Warning! Results may vary!
This is how I learned hiragana in a week studying for about 4 hours a day.
If after a week you still don't know how hiragana don't feel bad, everybody learns at their own pace. Remember that the important thing is to stay consistent with your studying! Keep practicing and you'll reach your goals!💗

Learning Spanish Books for Sale
I don't need these anymore and I'm trying to sell them. Is anyone interested in buying? Hoping to get at most $30 for them but anything in the twenty range would be great too
They include

Easy Spanish Step-by-Step- Barbara Bregstein
Getting Started with Spanish- William Linney
Short Stories in Spanish- Olly Richards
Spanish Short Stories for Beginners- Fluency Faster
Easy Spanish Phrase Book- Pablo Garcia Loaeza
The coffee break book is a good companion for the podcast and the books that tell short stories are great for picking up the language, least visually.

Reasons why using a translator is not recommended when studying a language!
Many people often resort to using translation tools instead of dictionaries when studying foreign languages such as English, Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish. Personally, I strongly recommend the use of paper dictionaries and strictly discourage the use of translation tools. Let’s explore the reasons behind this. The reasons for advocating the use of paper dictionaries were discussed in a previous…

I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times
Tumblr media
Please understand that there are cultural differences and language differences, if you see this happening let the person clarify what they meant, that person might just not be familiar with words the western side of the internet use

SoulButter Languages
Hey folks,
I get a lot of positive comments and feedback on my Tumblr so I went ahead and made a YouTube channel to make the information a little more accessible and interesting. *shameless self-plug* 
youtube
I’m still getting the hang of filming myself and editing the videos, but it can only get better from here
In this video:
- see the process of an intermediate level self-study
- assessment of resources
- learning and applying grammar from a textbook
- tea enjoyment <3
- reading comprehension practice and application
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask ! If there’s anything you want to see more of (or less) please let me know !
Love u
bye

Ok we all talk about the Pevensies' trauma at returning to Earth at the end of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and their trouble readjusting to life there again but think of all the funny/good parts too
They return from the country, and their mom is surprised when all her children hug her at the station. Even Peter, who thinks he's all grown up. Even Edmund, who went away surly and withdrawn. She doesn't know her children haven't seen her in over a decade.
They miss their dear Cair Paravel, but they absolutely do not miss its chamber pots. Indoor plumbing is amazing.
It takes a while to remember how modern technology works, though. How many heart attacks did the siblings give their parents or the professor because they walked into a dark room only to turn on the light and find the children sitting there in the dark. (They were by the window! There was still plenty of light from the sunset! They would have gotten a candle in a minute!) The kids sheepishly remember oh yeah electricity is a thing.
(Edmund has a new electric torch in Prince Caspian. He was so excited to get that torch. Almost more excited than you'd think a kid his age would be, and his parents expect Peter at least to tease him, but the siblings all agree light in your hand at the touch of a switch is terrific.)
Suddenly getting really high grades in some subjects and terrible in others. Their grammar, reading comprehension, spelling, vocab, even penmanship? Amazing. History and geography? They don't remember anything. One time in class Susan forgets Earth is round and wants to die.
Also they can never remember what the date is supposed to be because Narnia uses different months and years. They can estimate time really well by looking at the sun though, and Edmund at least can always tell which way is north etc without thinking about it (again, using the sun)
Okay but how many times did they go to pick something up or reach something and realize they are so much shorter and less muscled than they expect? It's a common sight to see Peter climbing on counters to reach a top cabinet, grumbling about how he's High King this is demeaning. (No he never takes the extra five seconds to grab a stool. He will climb that shelf.)
Peter and Susan being delighted because they are no longer almost thirty. (In a few years Edmund and Lucy will tease them about being old and their parents will not understand.)
Lucy doesn't have to deal with periods anymore for a few years yet. Susan might not either. Heck yeah
Lucy loves to climb into her siblings' laps and be cuddled. In Narnia she eventually she grew too big, but now she is small and snuggleable again. Peter is her favorite, and if she's upset, he'll tickle her and tell bad jokes until she's smiling again, but really she loves cuddling with all her family. She grew up without her parents; how many times did she just want to crawl into her mom's lap and her mom was a world away? Imagine the first time she realizes she can now. Or, imagine one day, a cold and grey sort of day, when the rain is pattering against the windows, and it sounds like the rain on the windows of the Professor's house, that first day they went exploring. It sounds like the day they played hide and seek. It sounds so like the rain on the windows of Cair Paravel, that if Lucy closes her eyes she can imagine she's back there, having tea and chatting with Mr. Tumnus before the fireplace of her room, and soon the rain will stop, and they will go out on the balcony and wave to the naiads and the dryads and the mermaids, who have come out to enjoy the rain and visit one other on the banks of the Great River winding past Cair Paravel down to the sea.
But if Lucy looks out the window, all she'll see is the rain over London, so it's not only a cold and grey sort of day, it's a lonely sort of day too.
Susan and Edmund are playing chess in the living room (and they must have studied with Professor Kirke, thinks their mother, because they certainly weren't that good when they left). Lucy goes over to Edmund, and oh dear, thinks their mother, now he's going to call her a baby and be horrible to her, but instead he picks her up and puts her on his lap without even taking his eyes off the chessboard; it's simply a matter of course.
"Doesn't the rain sound familiar?" says Lucy in a solemn, wistful way.
Their mother doesn't know what that means, but her siblings must, because Susan says, "Yes, Lu, it does,” and Edmund gives her a little hug with his free arm as she tucks herself under his chin to watch the chess match.
(Five minutes later there is a crash from the next room as Peter falls off a counter. Their mother does not understand the words he must have picked up from the Professor, but he's grounded for them anyway. His siblings have no respect for their High King, because they refuse to stop laughing.)
