studying methods + tips⋆.ೃ࿔*:･✍🏽

LEITNER SYSTEM ; an effective way to study with flashcards

create flashcards

all ur flashcards should begin with box one or whatever box number (check the example)

for example ; in a box/pouch you'd label it ; box one cards to be reviewed everyday, box two cards to be reviewed every other day etc.

review each flashcard, quiz urself on what u recall/explain the info on each side

if u answered correctly move the card to box two and if u answered incorrectly, move the card to box one

the time frame should be dependent on the amount of time before ur quiz/test that u have to study.

HOT TIP ; treat studying like it's a job and you're getting paid for it. work agreed hours and take arranged breaks as though its a real job.

MORE WAYS TO STUDY ;

add color or diagram your notes and if ur not taking notes, TAKE NOTES

summarize your notes and summarize concepts (if u can explain a concept, thats how you'll know if u studied it enough)

make a concept map

pretend to be a teacher and ur explaining a concept

HOW TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF TO STUDY ;

i watch time-lapse studying videos to motivate myself to study bcuz then it feels like im studying with another person. or i'll set up my phone and film my own time-lapse of me studying to motivate myself.

implementing something that u love into studying. for me i love pink and just being a girly girl so i implement pink into my studying by using super cute stationary and that rly motivates me to use my pink tools.

i dont always study in the same locations, sometimes i'll study in a cafe or in the library instead of just studying in my room bcuz sometimes, all we need is a change of scenery.

Finally a first language laddering post! In the near future I hope to start posting updates to my personal studying, maybe accompanied by study materials for others to use if I have the time! But first, I wanted to post an introduction.

Transcript of the images below the cut!

Language Laddering!

An Overview

I recently made a post asking about interest in me posting my personal Japanese -> Korean language laddering study journey and resources. And a lot of people seemed interested! Let's start off with an introduction to language laddering itself, since people may not have heard of it, or may not recognize this name for it! For my own personal stuff, I hope to post updates to my studies along with some resources as regularly as I can manage!

What is Language Laddering?

Language laddering, as I'm using the term, is a method of language study in which you use one target language (TL1) to learn a second target language (TL2). Basically, you cut your native language out of the equation and study in a target language!

How I Ladder

There are several methods you can use that I'd say count as language laddering, but I'm only going to go super in-depth into the methods I personally use!

If you study this way and have a specific method you love that I didn't mention, please mention it in a comment or reblog! I'd love to hear more methods.

Reading Japanese textbooks for Korean

Getting access to resources in Japanese is definitely harder because of international shipping, but I'm able to find store listings that offer sample pages! I've been using these until I can get the money to actually buy them.

In the meantime as I wait to get fully Japanese texts, I use the speaking pen from Learn Korean With BTS, haha- the speaking pen reads the book in four languages, and Japanese is one of them! So I just listen to it like an audiobook instead of reading the English!

Using apps and websites made by and for Japanese learners

While my Japanese dictionaries and apps are all in English, my Korean dictionaries and apps are all in Japanese!

I use an online Japanese-Korean dictionary on my phone, and when I practice grammar and other concepts in Korean, I use Japanese websites for Korean learners.

Recently, I've been using the site ハングルの森 to review basic grammar. I've been getting a pretty strong hold on Japanese grammar terms, too, which is exciting for more fully laddering!

Laddering languages in the way I choose to can be a very fun way to learn a new language and study one you've already been working on, but it doesn't work for everyone!

People who enjoy learning grammar and reading about how language works may enjoy it because they can learn grammar the way it's taught in their target language rather than how it's taught in their native language! This can be exciting, it's interesting to see how different languages teach concepts and learning grammar terms in a TL can open grammar-related doors! If you're a linguistics nerd like me, grammar-related doors are super exciting.

However, if you struggle a lot with understanding language instruction, and classroom language learning is really difficult for you, then it may only make things harder to try and use your TL's classroom language learning material for a new TL.

And that's okay! Not every learning method is for everyone. Learning through immersion may be easier and less frustrating if you struggle with classroom learning!

And guess what?

You can still ladder languages when doing immersion learning! Watching something in your new TL with subtitles for your stronger TL is one good way you can combine immersion learning with laddering!

I hope to post more about language laddering, although it will probably be pretty catered to my own personal study! People can feel free to send asks about anything specific they'd like to know! (Although I certainly am not an expert, so I can't answer everything)

Also, I know this post was SUPER text heavy, so thank you for making it to the end! I hope it wasn't too droning to read ^-^ Good luck with language laddering if you decide to try it!

Study Tip #1

The one study tip which helped me a lot was to collect all the study materials in different coloured files throughout the semester so that I don't have to squabble around for notes.

Choosing the Right Method

(⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧ advice

Engaging in the process of learning something new, such as mastering a foreign language like Japanese, is something that requires a strategic approach. One of the fundamental principles that can be a game changer is the steadfast clarity of our goals. Without a doubt, the destination we have in mind plays an indispensable role in shaping the path we traverse.

Let's step into the world of learning Japanese. Remembering why we're doing it is crucial. Is it to grasp anime conversations? Or to enjoy manga in its original language? Or perhaps to have heart-to-heart chats with Japanese friends? Whatever it is, this "why" is like the heart of our journey, guiding us toward a clear goal.

Yet, it's not merely enough to have a destination in mind; the vehicles we choose to undertake this journey matter just as much. When it comes to learning languages, the methods and tools we pick are like the vehicles taking us to our language goals. For example, if we want to chat fluently with native speakers, a strategy focused on practicing conversations becomes super important. But if we're into understanding anime stories better, a method that helps us decode everyday dialogues might be the best way forward.

In simple terms, our goals and methods go hand in hand. We need to wisely choose a method that matches our goal. Customizing how we learn is essential. Think of it like wearing a tailored suit – it fits us perfectly, allowing us to move easily and reach our goals effectively.

Moreover, the resources we have are like our learning toolkit – they're very important. Just like a carpenter picks the right tool for each job, we should choose our resources carefully. Whether it's language apps, textbooks, online lessons, or language exchange platforms, they should match our methods and help us move closer to our goals.

To sum it up, mastering a new skill, especially a language, showcases how adaptable and resilient we are. To tackle this journey effectively, we need to sync our goals, methods, and resources seamlessly. Our 'why' shapes our path and gives it meaning. Customized methods act as guides through uncharted linguistic waters, while resources empower our progress. This collaboration creates a powerful trio, driving us toward success, making our journey convincing and consistently triumphant.

またね～@inkichan

I saw that you use a tablet, a desktop, and paper notes. How do you conciliate those notes?

Is there a mechanism of making primary notes on one resource and then passing those notes to other while reviewing them?

hi! thanks so much for asking! here are my favorite methods for sharing notes between devices :). i personally have apple devices so i can fairly easily airdrop and sync things between devices, but i also frequently work at the library desktop computers where i can't do that! so here's my tips and tricks for sharing notes between devices

for context: i've been mostly doing digital notetaking recently, but i also like to scan my paper notes as well!

i'm going to be dividing this post into 2 methods! (there will be some overlap). syncing already written notes and syncing notes (in progress) between devices

for already written notes:

the first step i would take is export your notes as a pdf or any other file type. if they're handwritten try going into your notes app (for ios) or downloading a pdf scanner app for your phone! if your notes are digital check the sharing options in your app to see if there's anything about "exporting".

personally, i like to use either discord or notion. i have created a discord server with only myself that i use just for sharing links/files/anything between devices! i like discord because there's apps for pc, mac, tablets, and phones; and even a web app! discord is really nice and fast, and you can make different channels (as pictured below) for organization. as long as your file size isn't too big, you should be fine.

my second app i like to use is notion! notion is such a beast in itself, but i like to use it to upload files and images and links! below are two ways i have used it: to upload pdfs/files, and to upload goodnotes (my notetaking app) links to the pages i'm writing on! similar to discord, notion has apps for all devices, but it also works great just by itself on the website (no app required)! it's really great to access it from all my devices.

another way you could share your notes on different devices is through the cloud! (yes, discord and notion are both through the cloud). google drive, microsoft onedrive, icloud storage, etc. are great tools that you can use to upload files and see on multiple devices. i personally like discord and notion more, just because they're already apps i frequently use, but if you can't get either one cloud-based storage platforms are also a great idea! they definitely have more security than discord or notion, because your files may be at risk of being deleted!

for the purposes of sharing notes to reference on another device when writing an essay, or something of similar vain, i really love discord and/or notion and they both work great!

for syncing notes in real time:

pretty similar to the last one, i would say notion or google docs (or microsoft word on the web i believe has similar functionality, or onenote, anything similar!)

if you want to be writing notes on one device and have them sync up quickly on another - i think any word processing software is the best bet for you.

both notion and google docs you can access them on any device, and/or on their websites too!

google docs is a lot more straightforward, but since notion is so powerful it provides a lot of flexibility for your notes! here's an (old) example of notes i've taken on notion. (i personally really like how easy it is to make columns!)

i hope this helped a little bit! please let me know if you have any more questions :)

also! notetaking is very much an individual thing, if something works for me and doesn't work for you - that's okay! we're all learning and just have to figure out what's best for ourselves.

Prepare for study session 📑

Many students start their studies session by simply opening their book and just starting to read. Or when working on a paper by just opening a document on their computer and then hoping for inspiration.

To be able to study effectively you need to organize your study place and study time 💡

❕ Make sure you’re sitting comfortably, all materials at hand, all distractions away

🏠 Too warm and too dark room is the factor of producing sleep hormones

☝🏼 Good light, temperature, chair and desk

📱 Distractions - you do not only lose the time of the destruction itself but also the time it takes to switch your attention back to your studies

☝🏼 Use focus mode, apps, timer or film timelapse videos to not be distracted by your devices

❗️ Decide how long you want to study and what you want to work on

⏰ If can’t focus for a long time, study in time blocks

☝🏼 The 60 minute block or the 30 minute block. The smaller block is especially suited for the more intensive study tasks. As an example, study for 55 minutes and take 5 min break - do something that doesn't require you to think very much (but not social media 😶)

❔ No idea how much you can get done in one study block? Just experiment to see what you can do.

okay question: how do you guys study graphics? i have to study —among other things—the von neumann model for next week and i just realized i have no idea how. how do i remember which part is which? how to draw it? the only idea i have is to stare at the page for an hour or find a way to magicly develop photographic memory overnight. so, if anyone has a tip or a technique or something, i'd be forever grateful to know

Making your own flashcards is great and all, but I find flashcards more useful if I don't have to waste my time with making a card for every new word I've learnt.

Soooo if you don't want to waste time making cards, what I do is get Anki and download the largest shared deck for you TL, or if there aren't really any large decks you can download multiple decks and merge them.

Then suspend every card and as you learn new words you unsuspend those specific words in the deck. The bigger the deck the fewer cards you have to make, and by using the suspend/unsuspend function it's not showing you words you don't need yet.

Anki also lets you easily edit the card formats, so for example I hate having sentences on my vocab cards so I just delete the example sentence field and it removes them from all of those cards.

Also just personal preference but I set the daily new cards to 0 and review cards to 9999, so that way I can focus on the reviews first and then when I'm done I 'custom study' and increase today's new card limit to however many it says I have available (which is the number of new cards that are unsuspended)

Language Learning With Chronic Fatigue

[gif id: an animation of a cherry blossom branch swaying in the wind]

So! You're someone who's interested in learning a language, or you're already learning one but have trouble staying consistent because of your symptoms. I get it, I've been there.

For those who don't know, I have chronic fatigue and pain due to long covid. I've been struggling with it since early 2021, and I'm still learning how to cope, but I have enough knowledge at this point to put together a post about how to study whatever language you want to study and, y'know, not run out of spoons within a day.

Do keep in mind that I am one person with chronic fatigue! These tips may not help everyone.

P.S., I'll probably make another post like this in the future because I have terrible memory (thanks brain fog) and I probably forgot some stuff.

Take advantage of good days

[plain text: Take advantage of good days]

If you ever have days where you have more energy than usual, take advantage of those! For example, yesterday I had a ton of energy so I ended up studying for 3 and a half hours total.

That being said, keep in mind anything else you may need a lot of energy for in the day. I had to do laundry and shower yesterday, but I was exhausted after doing laundry, so I didn't get to shower. (In this regard: do not be like me.)

Keep track of what tasks drain you more than others

[plain text: Keep track of what tasks drain you more than others]

This can either be written down or just a mental note, but everyone is gonna have a certain type of studying or a certain area of study that drains them way faster. That could be something that just takes more brain power, or something you just don't like doing.

Reserve these things for the days you don't have to do anything else high energy, or just for your good days. I personally try to do more grammar practice on my good days, and more vocabulary on my worse days. And on my really low energy days? Listening.

Reserve at least one break day a week, more if needed

[plain text: reserve at least one break day a week, more if needed]

This one really depends on how fast you drain. I have Saturday specifically reserved as my break day; I don't let myself do any language practice on that day. That being said, this past week I had to take another break day just because I was tired from other commitments.

This one is super variable, but I do recommend at least one.

You don't have to study for several hours a day

[plain text: you don't have to study for several hours a day]

I think there's this weird misconception on studyblr and langblr that if you don't study your target language for the same amount of time you'd work a full-time job (or more!), then you'll never reach your goals.

That's not true! At all!

Depending on what your goals are, the only penalty for studying less per day/week is that you'll reach it slower. There's nothing wrong with that! It's your language journey, you can go at your own pace.

I hope this is useful for anyone who needs it, I know I would've liked something like this a long time ago.

This is kinda off topic, please feel free to ignore ,you have mentioned before you are a student, please share some of your study tips.

I'm not great with study methods, I have a tendency to procrastinate and I'm one of those assholes gifted with a great memory but if I had to give some tips they'd be:

learn to take great notes in class, which means understanding before writing down, don't be afraid to ask for further explanations from your professors

take time to edit your notes each school day

Summarize your books through short sentences and keywords and then generally speaking you can throw away the book (obviously what you study here can make a difference)

Always repeat outloud, if you can't explain something in an easy way you haven't understood that thing

Make the final revision with a friend you trust

I hope this can help.

College Tip #1

One of the things I found especially useful in college was to voluntarily start signing up for internships in the areas which I wanted to explore. So, by the time I complete my master's I would have an idea as to which field I want to specialize in.
