Keeping up your Languages when you’re Busy

Confession: I’ve been slacking on Japanese recently because my life has been so hectic recently. So here are some of the ways I’ve been trying to keep it in my brain when I can’t dedicate a lot of time to studying.

CHANGE YOUR PHONE LANGUAGE

This applies to computers as well! This is the easiest way to ensure you see at least some of your target language every day. It’s good for any level, even beginners.

If you haven’t already done this, do it now. I understand that some things are important and you need to be sure you understand them — in that case, you can always change individual apps to have different languages, just look up the app name in settings.

Podcasts/Music

Find some podcasts in your target language and listen to them before bed, during your commute, whatever. There are lots of podcasts made specifically for learners, or you can look up topics in your target language to find a podcast you might enjoy.

Music is also an amazing way to hear your target language being used. If you find an artist you like, that’s another good way to study your TL! Follow them on socials, look up interviews with them, etc.

Talk to Yourself

Any spare minute you have, talk to yourself in your target language. It doesn’t need to be out loud. You can have a conversation with yourself, try to express how you’re feeling, make up stories, or just describe the things around you in your target language. This is also a good way to see what kind of vocabulary you’re missing.

Apps

Duolingo has fired a ton of translators and started using crappy AI translations — so they’re probably not the best choice.

I’d recommend dictionary app that has some sort of flash card feature is also good, or an anki deck. Drops is good, and has a lot of languages, but keep in mind you’ll need audio. Anything that’s easy to get out and do for even just a few minutes is perfect.

Apps won’t teach you a language on their own, but doing a little every day helps remind me the language exists and keeps it in my mind.

Texting/Writing/Posting

Whether your friends know your TL or not, force them to experience it by randomly messaging in Japanese! Or, if you feel fancy, download an app like “HelloTalk”, “Tandem”, “Speaky”, “Tabee”…there are a lot.

If you keep a digital journal (like I do…inconsistently), try to write some entries in your TL.

If you have a blog, which I assume you do, post in your TL. Even if you’re a beginner, you can make a sideblog dedicated to saying stuff like “I’m hungry” and “Green is my favourite colour” in your target language.

Open your notes app and just write random words you can remember or sentences you can string together.

I know it’s really difficult, and don’t beat yourself up because you aren’t studying as hard. A language can be a lifelong companion — you’ll have phases of studying constantly, and sometimes it’ll take the back seat, but there’s no rush to learn it. Have a great day :)!

Hi! I want to learn French and Russian. Could you share your favourite resources for beginners? Could you also include books and movies/TV shows recommendations for both languages in your post? Thank you.

That's really cool that you want to learn those languages!!!

I have a bunch of Russian resources that I used because I started out as solely self-learning. So a large part in my absolute beginner phase I spent listening to podcasts, specifically, these: understanding spoken Russian which is great for just getting a feel for the language while also learning a bit of grammar and this one for getting grammar and vocab explained in a very down to earth kind of way without any types of big words you need to know.

Besides these I essentially learned all the Russian grammar I know on Youtube. Especially from this channel. Daria is very cool and also has several podcasts under the same name.

This one has helped me with specific questions about little grammar things, so might also be useful.

Nastya has this year begun doing a Learn Russian in a Year thing where she uploads every day a thirty minute lesson. It's a bit slow for me personally having already learned a lot and just generally me being impatient but it can definitely help with vocab.

He also has good videos and also some free stuff on his website iirc.

For TV shows I unfortunately can't recommend a lot for beginners. What you can do though is watch episodes like Peppa the Pig on Youtube in English and in Russian/French to compare and learn or only in your TL as they're obviously at a low level. What I do highly recommend as a show though is слуга народу for Russian and Lupin for French.

Also, if you're into audiobooks, try typing children audiobooks into Youtube or try listening to the Russian/French version of Harry Potter (that's what I'm doing rn actually).

If you're looking for a book and willing to spend some money I recommend this book with Russian short fiction for beginners. I just finished it and I thought it was very fun with vocab lists and questions for the stories at the end. The same author has also books for higher levels.

Unfortunately, as I learned almost all of French in classes I only have one channel I actually use to recommend, which is this one. You'll find some of my posts where I used this channel as my source.

I hope this helps! I might update in future when I find more. Good luck with your language learning journey!!

i think i reached the most aesthetic part of my life because i have 24 hours of french every week and i also take roman greek mythology lessons and i read and read and read and go to little cute cafes to study and just dark academia and it rains a lot and academic validation and listening lots of classic music and lots of tea and it's so easy to pretend like i'm at a boarding school with a lot of secrets and poetry lessons.

Idk why and idk if I’m the only one but I love using streams in languages I don’t know/dont know much as background or just to watch and pick up little bits it’s so fun!!! It’s literally so fun to watch like cellbit or roier or etoiles and still be able to laugh at their streams if I can understand very little things

It makes me very happy either way, idk if I’m the only one who does it I love it smm

WHAT DOES “ SI ÇA SE TROUVE ” MEAN IN FRENCH ?

si ça se trouve (familier) = (used only orally/via text messages) maybe / it could be that / for all we know [ we often drop the "si" => 'ça s'trouve]

- Si ça se trouve, il a triché pour avoir son BAC // For all we know, he cheated to get his baccalaureate. - Si ça se trouve, elle n’est pas encore au courant // Maybe she doesn't know yet.

- Si ça se trouve, on a attendu pour rien et c'est déjà fermé // Maybe we've waited for nothing and it's already closed.

[27-moons]

language learners have you found it easier for your brain to learn two similar languages at once, or strictly one at a time?

i’m learning french and i’m wondering if i should learn spanish at the same time. also technically i want to transfer my french learning to québécois. québécois and france french have the same grammar, but québécois has different accents/dialect/vocabulary. so i could learn french and spanish now and then transfer my french to québécois when im comfortable with grammar. or just stick to french no spanish.

if anyone is a polyglot and have some advice so i can do this effectively that would be lovely.

#advice please! ✨ #language learning #polyglot #linguistics #learning french

Speedrun french

As a native italian speaker, let's see how fast I can learn french. For now, I know 0 french, can't understand when they speak BUT I can kinda sorta maybe read some of it. Tools at my disposal: A french kids cartoon that I love and watched to death but in English dub

That's it. Maybe Les Mis but I don't own it in french and I struggle to understand it even in english. I bet I can catch up to my friends who've taken french as a second language in school for 5 years (Who also only spoke english, german and dutch before) in about 2 months as someone who already speaks a latin language. Let's see if I can do it!
