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 :)!

today may be a weird day for this bc i'm HOPING there won't be much of a trash fire in the tag, comparatively, but if discourse, neg, or server happenings get you stressed, pro tip!! THAT MEANS IT'S DUOLINGO TIME!!!!! channel your gamer rage and viewer stress into SICK NASTY LANGUAGE LEARNING

#qsmp #i was getting too wrapped up in rooting for my team so i closed stream and did duo until the server closed #it worked!!!! lmfao it worked during the election arc too so hot tip!#also if you don't think you're learning anything try doing a jump ahead quiz and see if you can pass it #french and spanish have enough overlap that for the last three days i've just been jumping ahead one at a time #today was the first time i actually failed one so now i get to finally learn a conjugation i don't know!#instead of just. more fucking nouns. lmfao #shut up vic #block game brainrot

HOW TO LEARN SPANISH

So, Rap Monster learned english from watching "F•R•I•E•ND•S", yeah? Sooo,,, does that mean that if I listen to "No Mutuas" by "Fake Fruit" while reading the lyrics to "No Mutuals" by "Fake Fruit" for, say, 4 hours, and then listen to "No Mutuals" by "Fake Fruit" while reading the the lyrics to "No Mutuas" by "Fake Fruit" for, say, 1.27 hours, for a few weeks straight, then will my SPANISH improve? Or will it get worse because I cannot hear anyone who would like to converse with me in SPANISH or teach me preterite tense in SPANISH? Por favor, mis mutuas, necesito ayuda. (Gracias para tu ayuda tambien mis mutuas, de antemano.)

introduction

introducción ·自己紹介

hello! my name is sierra and I decided a few days ago to make a langblr so here's an official introduction to my blog:

about me

19, in my second year of university

my major is Japanese, and my minor is Spanish

The goal is to become an interpreter

I'm going to be taking classes starting next year for a translator/interpreter certificate

I've been learning Spanish since 7th grade, so we're in the eighth year of Spanish learning. still not fluent :,(

I had tried learning Japanese before college, but it never stuck, so I've only officially been learning Japanese for a year and a half

There are many other languages I want to learn, but those are being postponed until I feel secure enough with the two I'm focusing on now.

some other hobbies/interests of mine are: reading, makeup/skincare, fashion, music, geography, history, and architecture/interior design

I would love to make friends within the langblr community, even ones who are learning different languages than me.

This is a sideblog, so I will like/follow from @floralsandstrawberries

𝓭𝓮𝓪𝓻, 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓶𝔂 𝓵𝓲𝓯𝓮

Today, I got my nails done I wanted to send you a photo and show you them. Maybe time does heal all wounds but I wish it didn't because I never want to stop remembering how much I love you. During one of our late night phone calls you and I were just talking but you were over at a party but had stepped out to call me because a song started playing that reminded you of me. That song happened to be one of my all time favorite songs "Colgando en tus manos". Ever since then I have imagined countless of time us dancing to it or you trying to teach me while I very much can't and we break apart laughing but come back to just put my head on your shoulder and just not being able to stop laughing. I miss your eyes and everything about you but I have decided I can't even talk to you at all breaking no contact isn't an option. If we were able to come back from this we wouldn't all of a sudden live right next to each other and every problem we had wouldn't even exist. I love you but we can't be together. We were the right person at the wrong time. It breaks my heart more than you can even imagine. I'm sorry but it was what I had to do. I hope one day you realize that you haven't already. I love you and I miss you. I miss all the stupid conversations and how you used to look at me and your smile that made me smile even harder. I love you.

𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓼 𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓵𝔂,

𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓰𝓲𝓻𝓵 𝓪𝓷𝔂𝓶𝓸𝓻𝓮 :(

Daily Check-in: April 3rd, 2024 🎀

Today was a weird day. My anxiety was off the walls, and I think it's because that time of the month decided to occur, which is throwing me way off. Birth control has made that not happen for 2 years so, I was definitely caught off guard. (omg I hope that's not tmi, it's just something I gotta deal with again as a woman)

🩷 What I Accomplished Today:

Reviewed Spanish Busuu Chapters 6 and 7

Reviewed all flashcards once fully through

listened to one podcast episode in spanish

completed question set about renal nutrition from my dietitian mentor

met with an advisor regarding adding a 2nd major in finance

met with my advisor and got some good advice before adding the 2nd major

emailed the director of the Dietetic program at my college to schedule a meeting

wrote chemistry notes (need to finish and catch up with this week - I've missed both lectures)

completed a chemistry homework assignment

planned tasks for tomorrow

met with dietitian mentor

scrubbed my toilet clean

🩷 Good Things That Happened:

got an extension on my chem lab report

got confirmation of taking a make up quiz for my psyc class

took an hour nap

got excused from lecture and lab today (going to make it up tomorrow)

met most of my goal tasks

my meetings with the advisors went really well

got to talk to my dad per usual, and he was supportive of the 2nd major stuff

my boyfriend was supportive of my 2nd major stuff

met a super cute blue heeler puppy that was so cute and friendly, tho she did cut my thumb slightly but it's okay cause she's just a puppy

got 7k steps in today

🩷 What Could've Been Better:

could've managed my anxiety a bit better

could've been more productive instead of doing my "productive procrastination"

need to stop trying to do academic things while sitting in bed

need to stop trying to stay awake when I randomly wake up at 4am

need to drink more water, for sure

need to work on better nutrition

Today was a weird day. But that's okay. Weird days do happen. I know now what made it weird, and I'll adapt.

Til next time lovelies 🩷

Learning through immersion

(Specifically Spanish, for intermediate-advanced learners. Most of this can be used for any language though)

Consume native content without looking up anything. Just enjoy it. (Something written, or something which has a transcript/subtitles)

Now consume it a second time

Write down any interesting sentences. (Ideally with pen and paper, for it to stick)

Anything that has something that looks like a word you know, but is in a tense you’re not sure, just a new use of a tense, some interesting expression or vocab…

Go onto SpanishDict and type in those interesting conjunctions, figure out what tense they’re in

Learn that new tense! Either through SpanishDict (they have lessons for pretty much everything) or just google lessons online. This can be as in depth as you like, or you can just google a quick explanation

Create new vocab list of new words and quickly run through it

Re-consume native content after going through all your sentences with a new enlightened mind

On this run you can also read aloud (or mirror, if you have audio) the interesting sentences you wrote down. With feeling, please.

Then write something in your own words, using new grammar and vocab you’ve studied. Or speak aloud, and record yourself. You should try to write other sentences using a similar structure as whatever new interesting tense use you’ve found. If it suits you, get a native speaker to check your sentences, using Busuu, or HiNative, or something similar.

This is just one way that I’ve been enjoying recently. To be honest, you can cut out pretty much any of these steps depending on what suits you, how much time you have, etc.

The important thing is that you’re paying close attention to your content, and you absolutely need to write your own sentences afterwards.

Unless you genuinely have no interest in communicating with native speakers — maybe you just want to watch tv or read in your target language and that’s fine — but if you do want to be able to communicate, you’re going to need to practice. You should also be practicing speaking aloud. If you have nobody to talk to, talk to yourself.

This strategy is really useful for when you’ve self-studied the basics of a language and you don’t know what grammar you need to study next. Just let

so to preface im trying to learn spanish for both practical and personal reasons

but learning through watching stuff is genuinely so nice? im watching arrested development in spanish with english subtitles (i know. i should use an originally spanish show but this interests me and im learning a decent amount about pronunciation and sentence structure) and since i’ve watched the show about 7 times (the first three seasons at least, ive watched all of it about 4 times) i know the story really well and it makes it easier to focus on what the line and structure of it is rather than the show as a whole. im also not learning characters names or relationships, just what theyre saying and how theyre saying it. and im better than i was. i was working on trying to learn grammar and im already better than i was a couple days ago so! very excited!

#and also i feel so much better about myself! cause learning makes me feel so dumb and frustrated but its so encouraging!#and im better than i was. i was working on trying to learn grammar and im already better than i was a couple days ago so! very excited!#learn spanish #arrested development #seriously if anyone has any resources or tips they would be much appreciated

at a really fun (if you're me) unit in portuguese about contractions and demonstratives and prepositions and it's neat because it's not dissimilar to how contractions in hebrew work so it's fun to see how other languages deal with these things

#bell.txt #hebrew however has much more simplified demonstratives like english & unlike portuguese and spanish #this is yet another instance though when speaking spanish makes things LEAGUES easier for demonstratives in particular #since the that/that over there distinction is not present in english #in general having learned other languages makes learning more subsequently easier even if theyre dissimilar or unrelated #that post about language learning tips IS coming eventually ive just been very busy

Uni has almost killed my will to study languages. ❤️‍🩹

With the university, many things changed. Yes, I started learning my favorite language, the one I always have been dreaming of Japanese, but the university, especially the master's degree turned what I loved the most into a nightmare. Did you read the evil and intrusive thoughts I wrote in this picture? I have said all of these things to myself at least once, and I hate it.

Sometimes I think I was deceived. I have been studying languages mostly at school throughout the entirety of my academic journey, and I loved it, besides German, I have always had a pleasant experience and prepared teachers who made me fall in love with studying a new language.

With the university, many things changed.

Did you read the evil and intrusive thoughts I wrote in this picture? I have said all of these things to myself at least once, and I hate it.

Besides doing my best and trying to fight some mental and physical issues I have been having for a while, studying Japanese became almost the worst thing I have ever done in my life, sometimes I wished I had self-studied it instead of majoring in it.

The written exams were basically just a"let's see how well you memorize the example sentences of the book" kind of thing, definitely not the best approach. The same goes for kanji and vocabulary, everything was tested to see how well you memorize, not how you can actually move freely in the language.

This extremely wrong (at least in my opinion) approach almost killed my will to keep studying languages in general, so that's why during the last year I have basically quitted self-studying, I needed to use all of my energies to do more than my best to pass those freaking exam.

Now I am here telling you that I made it and paid a high price, but at least I am here loving languages more than ever! I am still trying to adapt to my new working schedule, understand what goals I want to achieve, and prepare a solid plan, but step by step. Rushing will never be productive!

💭 What about you? Did you have a similar experience? Feel free to share it in the comments, this is a safe place for anyone!

Does anyone have any tips on how to learn Spanish fast? My level is A1/A2, but I am not really able to speak freely, and I would like to have at least level B1+. So if you knew anything, I would appreciate any tips and guidelines.
