when I finally start learning something I had been postponing and I suddenly rediscover my will to study and apply myself until I’m the best again

... and there will be no more monsters in human skin like me.

~

caterpillar, the man you are. a 400yo prison dweller who only broke free to let an innocent little girl reunite with her family. hoyo needs to stop giving us deeply compelling and layered hilichurl npcs this cant keep going on like this.

this was a joy to work on! the direct link between cater's human colour scheme and his hilichurl one made everything fit together so nicely, and i had fun trying to catch all the little details (like the two feathers hanging out from underneath his cardigan that represent the feathery neckpiece on the churl form). not only did this piece succeed in freeing me from the brainrot it also gave me more confidence in my capability to do nice full pieces digitally. so its a win win!

#lil tam arts #caterpillar genshin impact #genshin impact caterpillar #caterpillar gi #genshin caterpillar #boy isnt popular enough to have one fixed tag smh #genshin impact fanart #genshin fanart #digital art #the hilichurl fur was so rewarding to shade i was so scared but i actually love that detail the most #also the butterflies. i love them #i wanna look cater deep in the eyes and tell him that hes everything a human should be. that he achieved what he was tasked with. that #he left his chrysalis a long time ago #and hes free to fly on his own #once again going insane over the fact that hoyo keeps humanizing the hilichurls #the monsters the game tells us to kill from literally the very start #i keep thinking about how they have a genuine language that can be learned. how they used to be human genuinely literally in canon.#how they have so many rituals that they share with humans #they are a people. and yet #and yet #ANYWAYS i hope if u read this far u like the art lol ily bye

Duolingo Achievements are Stressing Me Out

Huh, Duolingo achievements are stressing me out. Why do I focus on pursuing achievements rather than learning languages themselves? Now I don't care about any achievement. I will only maintain my learning streak, you know, do at least one lesson every day.

crying in the shower thinking about for so many people i was the first or one of the first friends they made in Australia and how i have friends from all around the world...

#this is how i want to be remembered and i think this is my biggest achievement.. like it must be so hard to move to a different country.#esp one where the main language is one you're not used to speaking all the time... i should learn another language...#its so fun though bc i get to learn about other people's cultures and i just love meeting ppl! also i love you guys on here too ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I #wish we could talk irl #my posts #humanity <3 #friends!#also if you move to a different country i think you deserve ur new countrys equivalent of 1billion dollars

get to know me 🎀💌🎧🌷

i’m from the UK, and i’m half jamaican!

i’m in my first year of university!

i love learning languages, i’m studying spanish as part of my degree and i’m learning german in my free time

i love reading, crochet, painting, walking in the countryside and spending time with my family (especially my cousins)

i’m Protestant (Church of England)

i read the NLT translation of the Bible as I find the KJV really hard to read haha

the Bible verse in the photo is one of my favourite verses!

i love a wide range of different aesthetics such as: clean girl, pink pilates princess, cottagecore, old money, coquette, coastal granddaughter, that girl and many more! <3

i listen to a diverse range of music, if it’s got a good beat or good lyrics i’ll probably like it :)

God bless you and have a good day! 🫶🏽

So if you ever are like "why the fuck can't I do my goal X activitiy after studying Y months/years?"

I encourage you to sit down and determine roughly:

1. How many hours you've actually studied in those months/years? (and if it's nowhere near the hours recommended for say a goal of reading or speaking at B2 level then perhaps consider planning to increase study hours)

2. How much of your study plan is spent focusing on practicing the goal skills? (If your goal is to speak to people at a B2 level, and you have never practiced speaking - or even shadowing after a dialogue - then perhaps change your study plan to Include some speaking related practice).

#rant #study plan #study issues #so many examples of item 2 - such as studying japanese to watch anime but you NEVER practice watching anime...#or wanting to listen to audiobooks but you never practice listening to audiobooks...#or you want to write work emails well but never practice writing them...#and for 1 - so many intermediate learners KEY issue is they just THINK they should be upper intermediate or advanced level #but only studied a beginner amount of hours... and dont realize they need to study MORE hours to get to the level they want.#(aka my biggest issue when studying)#i was on r/learnjapanese and someone was asking why after years of study they couldnt understand tv shows #and... i felt the same after 3 years studying (until i realized i probably studied less than 200 hours total... which was barely #a drop in the bucket of how much i actually needed to study to achieve my goals)#if you want to use an hours estimate to study. look up FSI estimates to learn a language #and multiply the weeks estimate by 40 hours (thats the class hours and expected self study FSI expects per week)#and you'll see the FSI Estimate for B2 skills #there are other online 'time to study a language' estimates so if you find a better estimate please feel free to let me know #just like... if japanese takes 3520 hours for B2/N2 skills... and a person has studied 200 to hell even 600 hours... no wonder they cant #understand shows.#but if you've studied a decent number of hours then #the problem may be just you need to make sure your study plan includes time spent #working on the skill you WANT to do.

So I found myself procrastinating doing my taxes by... reading a grammar textbook. Which is certainly a new one for me

#tbf its french grammar which im interested in for personal gender reasons #(i think its fascinating how genderqueer french speakers express themselves in a language that is actively hostile to them)#speaking of which it's been 6 weeks since i started learning french and i can read at probably a 2nd or 3rd grade level?#which is really cool. learning to read in a language i knew next to nothing of in under 2 months is an achievement #(im not so good at like. writing and speaking. or even listening though i can usually get Some idea of what's going on at least)#anyway #i need to do my taxes #and then i need to rearrange the garage so i can set up a brooder for quail chicks #need more birds. current group isn't laying as many eggs anymore they're starting to get a little old #and people keep asking me if ill sell them quail eggs. like. i don't even get enough for my own use at the moment please wait

amnesia is painful bc of the constant imposter syndrome.

yes I DO love this series. no I cannot tell you most anything that happens in it. I went through something so horrible while I was watching it that my brain deleted an entire portion of my life and I can't get it back.

I rewatch and it's like the first time, only it isn't and it's wrong because I know I've 'been here' before, I recognize little things. it's like its impure somehow, not just a fun reset button. I know it's there but I can't touch it anymore.

yes I love this band and I know for a fact I went through an extensive period of my life where I listened to nothing but them and knew every lyric to every single one of their songs. Now I can't even remember the melody, but it really was important to me.

yes I do know facts about the thing I've spent over a decade studying but no I can't remember the basics anymore. yes I used to have this skill, now I do not. I've relearned this skill about 5 times now and I'm tired. I just want to remember and have it stick.

#mad scrawl #the amnesia is preventing me from a lot actually it really. sucks.#I can't learn new languages #I struggle with crochet and similar crafts now #and it's agonizing and sisyphian to have to just.... keep relearning from the ground up.#hell it's prevented me from achieving what I want spiritually too #but a mix of amnesia and only being able to focus on the 'now' in the worst way is really really messing me up.#like I have no more bandwidth than to process what's actively happening #I suppose because it is sustained trauma.#anyway though what rly made me think of this was how #I cannot remember most of twin peaks.#I remember bits and pieces #and I watched so closely and thought about it so much....#I loved that show so mcuh..........................#but bc of when I watched and who I watched it with #it's a total gap in memory.

been listening to a (very fascinating) nonfiction book for two days and my brain is clawing for some fun and whimsy

#the nf book is Because Internet by Gretchen McCulloch #and it is really cool to learn about linguistics and the way language changes and specifically how it's changed in the last 30 years #and how the shift in written language in particular is being documented in a way we haven't been able to achieve #like i love it! i do!#lots of things i never really considered but having them pointed out i See It #great time highly recommend!#my brain however needs a good time #so idk what im gonna listen to #ks has a book tag #ks talks

Damn I only have four months left to complete my language learning goal. Best get hustling.

#personal #tbf i did fall off the wagon for a bit because of headspace #and then put so much pressure on myself after that to be perfect #so now that i have basics will shift into gear #because learning the language itself wasnt the goal #it was learning the song in its original language #small and achievable #maybe

I am now on Duolingo, and I think this is my villain origin story. Not because I'm suffering or anything, I just absolutely enjoy being evil (ripping the first place spot from that one guy in my league who really, really wants to be first, but unfortunately for him I also really, really want to be first and enjoy the idea of ruining his day with my superiority).

#Bloom talks #Duolingo tales #also this isn't my first rodeo #while he's learning US english like a virgin in over there learning my third language like a chad #I understand why villains always laugh evily now #they enjoy themselves very much #hi yes my schedule is kinda too free these days how could you tell #ah yes also the language is mandarin chinese and I switched off the pinyin so I'm ALSO in extra hard mode BUT winning anyway #as we French people say: CHEH!#it's so french of me to feel like a chad about a measly third language when most people in the world casually speak #at least two or three #when I first learned english it was amazing for a french to be able to speak it but now it's becoming mainstream #I have to distinguish myself further #(but in truth I just really want to be able to read Mo Xiang Tong Xiu in the original language)#(that's still a long way off and I won't achieve that with just Duolingo but it's a start and I'm. determined.)

I will not stop talking about my meds. I got home yesterday with the intent to clean my guinea pig's cage and I actually did it. I washed and cut my hair after that and didn't feel like I wasted my evening. I need to make phone calls today and the dread of not knowing how long it's gonna take isn't hanging over me bc frankly it feels like time has slowed down. I'm actually cooking breakfast with what handful of groceries I have left and then I'm gonna buy more and actually plan a few meals. Life could be a dream

#i am at what i am led to believe is a normal person baseline. and i have coped for so long to achieve while not there.#i think i could learn a new language in the span of a month with how i've been feeling lately #literally the only downside so far is that i've been thirsty as hell but that's probably good for my POTS so??#have also been noticing when i'm hungry and have actually been eating more; i'm getting breakfast every day!!#i was doing that before but i've actually been keeping it up for a week or 2 now!!#gonna try to start adding in some exercise to help my joints; got a 3 pound weight at work bc It Was Right There #and wanna try doing planks again; saw a tip from someone's dentist about flossing that was like #pick one day of the week to do it and try to do it on that day every time; then pick a 2nd day to do it #and i think i wanna go that route; might open comms bc i feel like i can physically keep up with them now #we're gonna have to fucking SMITE me at this point to get me to stop #shai speaks

My first ever presentation in Mandarin Chinese

The world of business presentations can be nerve-wracking enough for someone, even in their native tongue. Yet, I love speaking in public, entertaining the audience, and interacting with them, in presentations, lessons, lectures, or seminars. Now, imagine facing a room full of attentive faces, bright lights, and the pressure to deliver a clear, concise message – all in a language you’re still…
