language learning is such a personal thing that there is no “right” or “wrong” way of doing it. it’s whatever works on bringing YOU closer to YOUR goal.
you want to watch tv shows but don’t really care for speaking with others? yay!! no speaking practice needed.
you want to learn quickly for an upcoming trip? yay! text book phrases and simple grammar.
you’re a beginner and it’s been 10 years? 2 weeks? 6 months? it doesn’t matter. as long as you are working towards bringing YOURSELF closer to what YOU want to achieve, you have succeeded: you are succeeding; you are doing great.
i find that so much demotivation comes from comparison and/or trying to follow other's advice too closely. if anki decks don't work for you, that's fine! if duolingo works well for you, then use it!
this language learning thing, it should be enjoyed. in the sea full of deceptive polyglot stories and videos on top of videos attempting to understand how to learn languages in "the fastest way possible" sometimes we should sit back and ask ourselves, "when is just learning things, enough"?
with that i hope you all continue working towards your dreams! whether you want to become a translator or just watch a few more movies in your target language, you can do it. i know you have it in you.

Look, I knew five languages by age 19 and now I am learning like 3 more. I work as a language instructor and a consultant. If I can give language learners only one advice, this is it.
STOP LEARNING WORDS ON THEIR OWN.
You're doing yourself a disservice by learning lists of "30 words you must know!" "100 most common words!" like it literally means nothing if you cannot use those words in an appropriate context with proper grammar. So what you actually need to do is learn those words via example sentences.
Of course, sentences have more words so you may think you're learning less but you're actually learning the way to use it in context. That's what's important.
Language is about communication, which also means if you want to learn languages, you have to observe how people communicate with each other universally. Native speakers never have a list of words they know and they don't count every single new word they've learned. So why are you doing it to yourself? What native speakers do is listen to the new word, remember the context they're spoken in, and keep using that word in that context. And that's why people go "wait, you can use that word LIKE THAT?" all the time. So you, a language learner, are also allowed to do that. I'm not even saying those word lists are useless but they're the most useful AFTER you've known most of them and are trying to go over them for practice etc. Native speakers do click on those word lists to check out how many words they don't know or to remind themselves of those words or to learn some facts about each word. That should be your goal as well.
Learn sentences. Learn them in context. Do not fall into the "I must know xx amount of words or I'm a failure at language learning" trap perpetuated by bloggers or youtubers or whatever. Have fun with it!

increasingly "useless" reasons why i like learning languages
@studentbyday said i should re-define "useless" in my mind. instructions unclear. made a shitpost instead 💩
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
💌: inside-my-phone format is back!🍃 do you agree/disagree with my MTL rankings? what motivates you? 👀
i can be a more empathetic, understanding, and supportive person who makes sure to only cuss people out in languages they don't understand so that their feelings aren't hurt ❤️
i can talk to more people who will probably think i'm an idiot because of how badly i speak their language 👄
i can nurture my self-confidence/-esteem as long as i don't think too hard about how much i don't know 🥰
i can read more books, articles, people arguing on the internet, etc. 📚
i can travel to foreign countries more easily until someone asks me to translate something important and i mess up and land us both in prison or something ✈️
i can unlock new work opportunities until someone asks me to translate something important and i mess up and land us both in prison or something 💼
i can multitask better even though i shouldn't even be doing it in the first place 🤹‍♀️
i can watch my favorite shows/listen to my favorite songs without subtitles/translations so that my brain rot can continue in peace 📺
i can, on the other hand, stop losing brain cells?? 🧠
i can eavesdrop on more people, probably at the grocery store 🙉
i can show off at work and other places where it is appropriate to show off irrelevant skills ✨
sex appeal?? 🥵

the worst part about studying languages is trying to read something cute & fun & being forced to reckon with the fact that you have the reading comprehension of a small child

Today I thought I’d share a translation app that I frequently use to help me study Korean.
It’s called…
🥁🥁🥁
mirinae
This app is great because it not only translates the Korean text you input, but it also breaks down the sentence.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They also have a section called wikinae (which is basically an urban dictionary for Korean) where you can learn Korean slang. Here’s a sample entry from wikinae:
Tumblr media
Anyways, that’s all for now.
Happy studying! 👋🏾

How it started vs. How it ended.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I always start as an organised person but, by the end of any study session, my desk looks like a mess 😳
Anyway, today was so much better than yesterday. I still suffer from insomnia so I'm starting to get a headache but my mood was slightly better and I accomplished more things than yesterday so that is something 🙃
This I did today:
I went to pilates and it felt amazing.
I keep reading.
I catch up with my korean homework.
I studied a couple of hours of clarinet.
My friend brought food and we watched Good Omens. It felt amazing to just laugh and have a nice time.

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.

💪 that girl diaries // what doesn't kill you makes you tired 🙃
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
난 피곤해 와 답답해 하지만 이유는 진짜 몰라요. 내 에너지 그냥 갑자기 없어 그리고 한 것 안 싶어요. 난 계속 생각해, "그냥 시작해야" 근데 오늘 난 이미 다시 많이 여러 번 시작해. (i'm tired and frustrated, but i don't really know why. my energy has just run out and i don't want to do anything. i kept thinking "i just need to start," but i've restarted so many times already today.)
🥰🥰🥰 physiotherapy exercises + warmup + running — i was supposed to do arms and abs today but i've eaten more than usual as one does on days off, so i feel like i need to do cardio 😅
🦋 social hour
📚 read a chapter of Sophie's World
❤️ meditation but it's just laundry and stay by hoshi
✏️ sketching!! (human proportions are so hard and for what 🥴)
❤️ started Year Compass: The Year Ahead section (i already have my new year's resolutions, so i don't know why it's so hard for me to articulate the goals i want to commit to)
📝📝📝 Japanese, Korean, Chinese, lessons
❤️ some spring cleaning + healing poetry reading
🎧🎧 how to keep learning Chinese at an intermediate level + Chinese vlog
💌: 明天会更好。我做了很多的东西因为我想我会觉得更好,但是如果我很高兴,我也想做很多的东西。还是也许我可以只是做够了,对不对? (tomorrow will be better. i did a lot of things because i think i will feel better, but if i'm happy, i also want to do many things. or maybe i can just do enough, right?)
Tumblr media
bonus: ty @winryrockbellwannabe for the tag 😘
i find it so funny that my quiz results say i die and everyone saw it coming BUT WELL SHIT I SURE DIDN'T 😂
also this is possibly the realest picrew i've ever done, like this is legit how i look sitting at my desk "working" 😅
