I got so bored last night that I borrowed "Learn To Read New Testament Greek" by David Alan Black from my uni's digital library, grabbed an unused notebook and took notes on Chapter 1 about the writing system. I've been wanting to start learning Koine/NT/Biblical Greek for a while, and there's no time like the present 😌 (<- has rapidly approaching coursework deadlines and exams)

I found some highlighters I haven't used for a while and tried them out, unfortunately the pen I used was really inky and took ages to dry so there was a lot of smudging, won't be using that pen again anytime soon!

There's still several letters and sounds that I'm a bit hesitant with but that will come with practice, I can't wait to get stuck into grammar :D

some notes 🌱

i came across this video and i think it would (and is) really working for me

find motivation and make a plan

my motivation is to open myself up to my culture and new people, and my goal is to be able to speak like a native

listen to and read in target language. write down the sentences, learn them, and repeat them over and over. (use google translate for pronunciation)

learn common or useful words. ex; alone, together, to be, to have, etc. when you see your words in a sentence, write it down and read it once a day.

write stories or journal in target language. use google translate to write 5 sentences about your day, fact check if able, and read it out loud. when you advance, start writing your own sentences and then fact check them by translating them in english

get books in target language even if you can't understand them. flip to random pages and see if you recognize any words. make it a goal to read this book.

watch movies and shows in target langiage. actively listen and try to understand. copy down sentences that seem useful and take advantage of subtitles.

make stories out of vocab. begin with english then translate to target language (friends or google translate, must have access to audio for pronunciation). read and listen until you know it by heart.

speak to yourself in target language from the beginning. pretend you are already a native speaker.

additional ;

a 2016 study showed a 17% improvement in English language comprehension when ESL speakers watched a TV episode in English using English subtitles.

⋆˚࿔ Potawatomi Notes 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

Here are my Potawatomi Unit one, Chapter one notes. My notes are usually quite minimal and arent as pretty as most peoples but it works. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵) !

[aosdatc-s]

Yeah, but when I do it, my sentence is grammatically incorrect 🥲

[dangmelearner]

Pov: you are learning a rare language with less than ideal learning resources.

But yeah, I’m trying to make a dictionary with only key phrases and with ability to search words quickly. I am so fed up off flipping through the pages when I could just press command f and be done with it.

A random note on terminology

When one puts a message on one's blog, it is called "posting", and the massage is referred to as a "post". You post a post onto your blog. Sounds clunky when one says it like that but no one does really, it's not thought about.

When you put someone else's post on your blog, it is "re-blogging" not "re-posting". Which makes sense, you are reposting it onto your blog, and repost has poor connotations of taking the content out of context maybe claiming as one's own, but reblogging keeps the initial context and credit.

Feels both counter intuitive, and yet completely natural.

Dick is a type of person who gets very (even more than usual) dramatic when he falls sick. His attention span reduces to zero, he is in the middle of writing his will, and he is constantly over-bored, bothering everyone with random calls or by spawning behind their backs out of nowhere.

(It doesn't help that Bruce is paranoid, and every time his kids get sick, he is like in full-time helicopter mom mode as if they are actually about to die in a second, but that's beside the point.)

When Tim gets sick, it is a catastrophe. He is so stubborn about everything that he ignores half of the house. He doesn't even tell others he is sick until he coughs out his lungs or something, and when they finally realize it, he is battling for the right to get everyone off him, because, hey. Nothing happened. He is fine.

If Damian gets sick... It is the cutest thing ever. He becomes so clingy. He comes to put his head on someone's lap or curls on their chests. He huffs a lot too, and mutters something, but he loves to sleep and be hugged, when he is sick, and that's the most charming shit ever.

When Jason gets sick?

Everyone expects him to be the most troublesome person in the world. Because, well, it is Jason. He kicks everyone away, when he is poisoned, he rarely asks to patch him up, unless things go to rough, and he can be flippant as hell when he feels too vulnerable.

But then, Jason actually gets sick, and everyone is an awe, because he is so quiet? His voice becomes smaller, he does whatever Alfred asks him to do, he takes all medicine without throwing a tantrum or asking to sweeten it with something else. He accepts anything, really.

Because when he was a child, long before Bruce found him, he had no place or time to be sick. His mother needed him. He needed to take care of things, he heeded to continue acting like he was fine, like he didn't need help or medicine — he walked around with a fever, and spend restless nights coughing out his lungs.

But then Bruce came. And he was finally allowed to rest. Explained that he needs to be taken care of, and someone in this manor, always will do that for him.

So, when Jason stumbles in the Batcave in the random night, sniffling and trying to suppress cough, Bruce is not surprised in the slightest. If anything, he welcomes him as fast as he can, before Jason can overthink what he did (out of pure instincts, really) and leave again.

Jason came, because Bruce taught him that.

As simple as that.
