🍋 zesty's intro that no one asked for but everyone is getting anyway
hi, 👋 i'm studying psychology 🧠 part-time while working as a software engineer 👩‍💻 full-time.
also slowly learning Korean, Japanese, Chinese 🦉 (and to a lesser extent these days, Spanish, French, German).
also trying to Read a Book™️ 📚.
but i like sleep too much 💤😴🛌, i need at least 10 hours of it to be a good human. somehow always have time for my emotional support K-pop boys tho 🤔
TLDR: in case you're still confused, this is a studyblr/codeblr motivated by K-pop, trying to do the least most efficient amount of studying and coding before i can finally sleep 😇
Tumblr media
(gif caption trans: hello!)
🍋 zesty's links mostly for her own convenience but you can use them too
#zesty's life — the (mostly) aesthetic diaries
#bumpy — processing the potholes of life
#energy bar — the emotional support k-pop boys
#잘자 제발 — (trans: sleep well please) i want sleep
#먹자 — (trans: let's eat) i want to enjoy my food
#할수있어요 — (trans: you can do it) encouragement
#친구 — (trans: friend) moots and more!

How to study languages without studying
Whether you're just starting out and have had bad experiences with textbook learning in the past or are getting burnt out from prepping for the next proficiency test, it's never a bad idea to put the textbooks away for a time and just enjoy your target language. If you're new to the world of immersion, here are a few ways to get you started.
Tumblr media
Follow along with the lyrics of a song. Spotify's not-so-new-anymore lyrics feature is great for this, especially since it has timed lyrics, but it doesn't have every song.
Expert mode: Write out the lyrics and underline/highlight/make note of all the words and grammar structures you don't know. Learn these unknowns until you can understand the whole song!
Extra challenge: Translate a song from your target language. I usually tend to stay away from translations in my study, but for those of you who aspire to be translators (or already are!), the poetic nature of song lyrics can be a fun challenge.
Watch a show or movie. Netflix has now introduced a feature where you can sort by language! If there's nothing made in your language that you're interested in, it also gives the option to sort by shows and movies that have the audio or subtitles available. Internet Archive also tends to have lots of foreign films that I'm looking for.
Easy mode: Watch with English or your native language subtitles. When doing this, try to still listen to what's being said and pick up on words and phrases that you know, or match new words with their translation in the subtitles. Note: reading one language and listening to another is a skill in and of itself! Don't be discouraged if you can't do both at the same time yet, you're brain is still making the connections in intonation and cadence of the language.
Hard mode: Watch with captions in your target language. This helps you connect listening and reading, especially in languages where the spelling isn't exactly phonetic, or it uses a different alphabet than what you're used to.
Expert mode: No captions or subtitles! But who knows, maybe you're better at listening comprehension than I am. Make sure you're getting comprehensible input here; some shows and movies are much harder than others. But above all else, watch what keeps your interest. A movie where you can catch half the dialogue but is super engaging is better for you than an "easy" movie that you're going to spend your time ignoring.
Polyglot mode?: Watch something in your target language with subtitles in a different target language. This adds just one too many layers of obfuscation for me, but if you're into the challenge, more power to you.
Watch YouTube. You can change your language preference on YouTube, and with that, the Explore section will give you recommendations in your target language. Going into the trending tab with your target language can give you a good idea about what people are interested in in the countries where your target language is spoken.
Read something. It can be a book, it can be a comic. There are plenty of webcomics out there in a number of languages! There's also probably an English language listicle with recommendations of easier to understand webcomics for learners, too.
If you're just getting started in immersion, you can choose whether you focus on intensive reading or extensive reading (this actually goes for all kinds of immersion, but is easiest to control with reading since it happens at your own pace). Intensive reading is reading with the goal of understanding everything 100%. If you don't understand a word, or a grammar point, or the reading of a character, look it up. Extensive reading is reading just to get the gist of things. Look up words and grammar points only if they stop you from understanding the general meaning of the sentence or section. And of course, the more you immerse, the less you'll have to look things up, but remember that difficulty varies between materials, even within books of the same age range, genre, and medium.
A small digression: If you decide that you never want to open a textbook on your language learning journey, more power to you! It can be done and I know people who have gotten to proficient levels of their target language without textbooks. If you want this to be you, extensive immersion is your best friend. You also might want to get comfortable with the flashcard program anki, because, if this is your goal, all those unknown grammar points and words will probably end up there. But at the end of the day, language learning is an intensely personal journey, and what works for others won't necessarily work for you. Finding what works for you is just part of learning a language.
Play a game. Lots of games are region locked (hint: Pokemon Sun/Moon isn't! If you start a new game, you can choose which language you want to play it in), but there are plenty of free online games still lurking in the corners of the internet. With a bit of googling, you can probably find something in your target language. Just the other day, I went out to find one of those hidden item games in Japanese and ended up finding an entire site dedicated to user made browser games.
If you're learning Japanese or Korean, picrew might be fun to look through as well. I noticed that plenty of picrews have basic anatomy vocabulary. I'm not super familiar with picrew myself, but the ones I've seen tend to be in Korean and Japanese
And lastly, don't fully give up on textbooks before trying them out. Don't be discouraged if textbooks truly aren't your thing, but studying a language on your own time can feel much different than studying for school. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and just have fun with your language. Additionally, if you'd rather learn in a video format, many languages have full courses uploaded to YouTube for you to try. Finding these can be difficult for some languages though, so don't hesitate to reach out to other learners and see what they recommend!
Got your materials ready? Great! Now go forth and immerse!

INTRODUCTION
Hi everyone!
I'm excited to share that I'm starting a new chapter by diving into fullstack web development. In just a couple weeks, I'll be embarking on courses to learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python and more...
As a stay-at-home mom of one, I'm thrilled for this opportunity to expand my skills. I've always loved learning new things, whether it's knitting, gardening, or coding. Now I get to take my self-education to the next level!
My goals are to stay focused, avoid burnout, and find a healthy balance between studying and family. I know there will be challenges ahead, but I'm determined to succeed.
I plan to document my coding journey here, share tips, and connect with others in the field. Web development has always fascinated me, and I can't wait to become part of this community. Wish me luck!

自己紹介
初めまして!^ - ^
私はエミと言います。3、4 年大学で日本語を勉強していて、最後の日本語の��業を終えたところです。
すべての「げんき」とほとんどの「とびら」を勉強していて、独学で勉強して続けたいです。それで、アカウントを作りました。
日本語を勉強して初めてばかりの頃、主にアニメや漫画などに興味がありました。でも、今そんなことだけじゃなくて、地理とか歴史とかにも興味があります。
例えば、九州が大好きです!実は私のバーナは鹿児島にの吉野公園の写真です。鹿児島県はとても面白いだと思います。どうですか。
さあ、複雑な漢字や面白い単語が好きだったら、ぜひ私のアカウントをフォローしてください!
Translation:
Self Introduction
Nice to meet you! ^ - ^
I am Emi. I’ve studied Japanese for 3 or 4 years, and I just finished my last Japanese class.
I’ve studied all of Genki and most of Tobira, and I want to continue studying on my own. So, I created this account.
When I’d just started studying Japanese, I was mainly interested in things like anime and manga. But now, I’m not only interested in things like that, but also geography, history, and the like.
For example, I love Kyushu! In fact, my banner is a picture of Yoshino Park in Kagoshima. I think that Kagoshima prefecture is very interesting. What do you think?
Well, if you like complicated kanji or interesting vocabulary words, by all means, please follow my account!

intro
Tumblr media
Witam! I had been lurking in the studyblr community before I left Tumblr a few years ago. Yet here I come again and hope I still fit since I'm not a student anymore. I hope we'll get along!
About
I'm Karolina and I'm 27 years old.
From Poland (with love ♡).
INTJ & 5w6 / 8w9
I'm a graduate of two Master degrees: 1) International Relations in Asia 2) Russian & Central Asian Studies. I'm currently writing two theses and hopefully finish them by December.
Next, I want to enroll in PhD program and focus on politics, economy and markets in East and Southeast Asia.
In the meantime I'm looking for a job in the field. I'm thinking of an analyst of the area (just Asia or better Eurasia so it would cover both my degrees), but mixing it with academic path, so while pursuing PhD degree.
One of my hobbies are foreign languages! Over time of my education I've managed to learn English, French, Russian and I'm still learning Japanese (currently at B1+ level). I used to learn Mandarin Chinese, but I intend to get back to it at some point. Also, I'm interested in picking Korean.
I like learning often just for sake of it since my mind needs to be constantly on the go (it gave me sleepless nights several times). It could be picking some textbook (I learnt bases of macroeconomics by myself), doing some online quizes on all seas, gulfs and straits or reading a popular history/science books (because of the Oppenheimer movie, I bought "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" by Richard Rhodes and yes, that's my current read!). I just enjoy it.
I have a never-ending books list on my Goodreads account (2600+ and counting). I like nonfiction (history, biography, political science, business, economics, you name it) and catching up on classics. Also, a h u g e Nabokov fan.
I'm one of these people who need to write everything down, from day schedule, important dates and tasks to all kinds of lists, trackers and brain dump. My Filofax is with me everywhere I go.
In general, I tend to be super-organized and put together. That applies to my daily or at least weekly schedule, surroundings or appearance - otherwise I can't properly focus.
I can't live without good coffee and I'm very picky about it.
Blog
The plan is to make it more personal by posting original content: hopefully daily, realistically a few times per week - mostly covering my writing proccess and languages learning, but also other random things. I intend to reblog some posts too, but I wish to keep the balance between that and OC.
Tagging #szarolina and #karolinatalking
My inbox is always open! c:

Welcome!
My name is Rin! I figured it was time I finally started putting this blog to good use. It’ll be a bit of a mixture between a studyblr, productivity blog, langblr, and bookblr!
About me:
• 19, any pronouns, queer
• attending community college to earn my associates in graphic design
• I’m in the very early stages of learning Japanese and would like to become fluent! I would also like to learn Italian, Swedish, and some Latin!
• I love reading, creating illustrations (art blog perhaps?), gaming, language learning, and academia!
I’ll try and post as frequently as I can!! :D

(再)自己紹介 | Langblr Reintroduction!
皆さん こんにちは!I recently hit a follower milestone and figured that it was time to reintroduce myself, as it's been quite a while, and I don't really have much information about me easily accessible on my blog. Additionally, I'd like to actually write stuff down about how this blog is organized. じゃあ、始めましょう!
Hi, my name is Nobody (they/them), my native language is English, and I like studying languages! Languages have interested me ever since I was a child, but I feel like I never knew how to properly learn a language until I started studying Japanese in 2020. Now, I also study Mandarin Chinese and German! Japanese is my main target language, and I would some day like to make Japanese my primary language. Yes, that means I'm interested in moving to Japan long-term.
Immersion is my favorite way to study, but as of right now, most of my immersion has been done in Japanese. Please tell me what you're reading or watching, or ask me what I'm reading or watching! I especially love talking about books and manga and would be more than willing to share recommendations!
Outside of language learning, my hobbies include horseback riding, gardening, and reading (in English). I also have a degree in music performance, but I don't really consider that to be a hobby since it's something I'm actively pursuing as a career.
As for my blog, I keep it mostly Japanese focused, mainly because I made this blog when I was only studying Japanese, but my other languages do show up once in a while, and much of the content I post/reblog isn't tied to a single language. Here are the tags I frequently use to organize my blog and what they all mean:
#benkyou posting - these are my own posts! These are usually tagged with at least one of the other tags, as this tag just denotes that I was the one who made it, not necessarily the content that it contains.
#languages - these are posts that are typically tied to a specific language or the specific study of languages. Resources for learning languages will also show up here.
#tips - these posts are general studying tips and may not be specifically about language learning, but are applicable to the study of languages.
#study - these posts are aesthetic posts of peoples' notes and study spaces.
#inspo - these posts are inspirational posts, for when you might have a bit of trouble getting into the study mood.
#art - this is just for Japanese art! Usually, it'll be traditional arts and I must admit that I'm a sucker for woodblock prints. If I reblog any sort of Japanese fashion (think more kimonos), it'll also show up here.
#culture - these are posts about the cultural aspects of Japan, such as explanations of festivals and the such.
#aesthetic - these are just beautiful photos of Japan, mostly temples. Again, these are just photos I like, and I really like shrines and castles (once someone called me a "temple weeb" and I'm still laughing about it).
#memes - this tag is for anything fun! Memes aren't the only thing that go in here- things such as polls and silly text posts will also show up here.
Things that I don't post or reblog include vocabulary lists and grammar explanations. I have nothing against them, I just don't particularly use them on tumblr and therefore find no reason to put them on my own blog. I've made a few vocabulary lists in the past, but have found that it's just not for me! Remember that language learning is a deeply personal journey and what works for you might not work for me and vice verse. Just because these things aren't particularly what I look for out of langblr content doesn't mean that they're not important to other people, but I would like to be clear about what shows up (and doesn't!) on my blog.
So welcome to my blog! I hope you choose to stick around a while! And for those who don't know Japanese, my blog name means "studying and lunch boxes."
