What’s in my Backpack

blog post 1st august 2018

I wanted to make a little back to school series, since I’m going back on the 6th, and show you what I bring to school so you can maybe be inspired :)

So I have a quite big Herschel backpack, it has good back and shoulder padding and can store a lot! 

what i bring:

a water bottle and snacks you’ll spend a lot of time in school, at least i do. To be hydrated and function troughout the whole day food and water are always in my bag!

my pencil case very obvious but well xD I bring a lot of pens and stuf to school so my pencil case is actually a little makeup bag. I have my fav pens, like my pentel energel (all time fav) and a bunch of mildliners and much more!

binder with loose leaf paper of all kinds and my school stuff. I don’t have a big binder like some other people but a small one. and I store my school papers for each subject separately and only bring the subjects I have that day so it doesn’t get too heavy

school books for subjects I have that day I usually store my books in the school but if I used them for homework they are also in my bag

calculator it’s my lifesaver in math so this thing is always with me

case for my glasses I can’t see without them so the case is in there and if they are dirty I can clean them

emergency girl kit with the usual stuff like pain and other meds, pads and tampons (if you don’t need them, some other girl from your class might) a nail file, hand sanitizer and spray deo (school can be gross so)

my keys for my house

purse with some money, my school id, my bus ticket etc

bujo because without my bujo or any sort of planner i would be 100% lost

[alisgravenil]

Got my 2019 Muji planners in white grey (vinyl) and black (suede)

[alisgravenil]

Hi Emma! I'm curious, just how many planners do you use? I'm planning of buying planners for next year and I'm having a hard time thinking how many I should buy.

Hi! It can definitely look like I use more than one because of how my Instagram and such looks but you only need one unless you feel you need more than one.  I have a lot of planners here, there and everywhere because I’ve been gifted a few and I obviously make my own from my shop! I’ll be honest and say this semester I literally haven’t stuck to using any one. I’ve kind of flicked between digital planners that are dated and undated. I wouldn’t ever say you need more than one unless you had specifically wanted to divide up things (e.g. working and school) but most of the time planners have room for both! 

I do worry that my blog/Instagram might suggest you need 3 planners or you need 10 sets of stationery because of how my posts seem to alternate. But this 100% isn’t the case. However, next year, I am planning to have one planner that I actually stick too. Then if I wanted a photo using another to show people how I would use it, I can! xx

[alisgravenil]

Before I start I want to mention a few things about this post.

The easiest language will always be the one you like learning, because if you have fun, it’s not really hard. Also, if you are motivated you will learn much faster.

This post will show you how long it will take to learn a language based on their difficulty. That just means, how DIFFERENT it is to the English language. More different = “harder”. It does NOT take into account if you are interested in a language or not. The condition of these groups are that your interest in these languages are ALL THE SAME!

The numbers I will give you are “just around this” numbers.

Based on which other languages you already speak, some languages will be easier (means faster) for you.

There are many factors that can change the pace of your language learning journey. (I will also make a post about this topic soon)

So first we will take a look at the groups. Which language are the easiest and hardest for English speakers?

_________________________

Group 1 (575-600 hours): the easiest languages because they are very similar to English. This are languages like Italian, Spanish, French, etc.

Group 2 (750 hours): still similar to English. In this group is just one language. German. (I guess because our articles are a pain in the ass. Seriously, I have friends that came here 10 years ago, don’t even have an accent anymore but still switch up some articles.)

Group 3 (900 hours): different to English. In this group are languages like Indonesian or Swahili. 

Group 4 (1100 hours):  significant differences to English. In this group are languages like Bulgarian, Croatian, Finnish, Hungarian, Polish, Russian and many more.

Group 5 (2200 hours): very different to English. In this group are languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

I made a post about many more languages, so if your target languages is not mentioned here, you can look it up on my other post here.

_________________________

And why did I tell you about these groups? Because the thing we care about are the hours it takes to learn a language from one of these groups! 

But that’s not all, we also care about the amount of words you have to learn to be fluent in a language. I also made a post about this, so if you want to know more about how many words you need to be conversational, fluent, etc. or if you are A1, A2, B1, etc. then you can check it out here.

So based on this post we want a vocabulary of 5.000 words. You also have to keep in mind to study listening, speaking, reading and writing to cover everything up. If you just learn a language from a textbook you probably won’t understand native speakers at all and you will also won’t find words when it comes to speaking it. The following numbers are for people who want to be fluent. Like REAL fluent like a (low educated) native speaker.

In Korea, there are two sides of the family (much like western culture). Although, unlike western culture, they actually go by a different name. While you still call your mother’s sister your aunt - even without specifying that she’s on your mother’s side - there are completely different names / titles to use. 

가족 - family

어머니 / 엄마 - mother / mom (formal / casual)

아버지 / 아빠 - father / dad

할아버지 - grandpa

할머니 - grandma

부모 - parents

조부모 - grandparents

동생 - younger sibling (여동생 - little sister, 남동생 - little brother)

고모 - father’s sister

이모 - mother’s sister 

you can say this when ordering at a restaurant. If the woman looks old enough to be your aunt, that is.

삼촌 - uncle

Other names and titles in Korean:

아저씨 - older man (can be used as uncle)

아줌마 - older woman

아가씨 - woman (not married)

총각 - man (not married)

-씨 - 희주씨 (used after a name)

선생님 (쌤) - teacher (slang)

-님 - 의사님 (used after an occupation)

선배 - older university student (used if you are in freshman / first-year uni)

여자친구 (여친) - girlfriend (slang)

남자친구 (남친) - boyfriend (slang)

여자사람친구 (여사친) - female friend (slang)

남자사람친구 (남사친) - male friend (slang)

There are…hundreds of honorific titles in Korean, and if I went through all of them this post wouldn’t be about family anymore and it would be unnecessarily long. When I finish the ‘Jobs in Korea (for foreigners)’ blog, I will add workplace honorifics. But for now, that’s all! I hope you enjoyed this lesson. 

Happy Learning :)

Multiple Language Learning Methods: One Isn’t Going to Cut It

Hi guys! Thank you for your patience as I get adjusted in China and try to find time to update my studyblr! Between studying my languages and teaching, it’s been a bit of a struggle. But I’ve finally got situated enough to get on Tumblr and get to work on a new post that I’m excited to finally share with you!

How many methods do you use to study languages? If you say one, you’re probably studying wrong. When you were in grade school studying the alphabet, did you just read a textbook and BAM you knew the alphabet? OF COURSE NOT! As much as our parents and instructors would wish we did learn that easily, no one ever does! No one. The best way to learn something is to experience it in different ways, situations and formats. You listened to the alphabet spoken in class by your teacher, then by an audio cd, then on tv when you watched Sesame Street, then in a song at a babysitters house, then read them in a textbook, then maybe played computer games to help you practice on top of all that. You heard the same alphabet over and over in different contexts. I used to be a big fan of Between the Lions back in the day because they would teach you a letter then a few words, then use those words and letters over and over again in different skits during the show. If the word of the day was dig, then in the cartoon Cliff Hanger, Cliff would need to spell dig to figure out how to come down from the cliff (of course it never worked, but that’s besides the point), there would be a song with dig in it, there would be activities where you’d have to insert the missing letters, and then the lions themselves would get into situation where they would need to dig something and you’d learn the word dig AGAIN. You get the point. This stuff isn’t just for children. This stuff is gold for language learning as adults, so how do you tap into this knowledge? By giving yourself multiple methods of language study just like a kid! By creating multiple methods of language studying, you are cementing everything you have learned into your memory. With this in mind, you must always have at least three methods of study to pull out when you study every week. Here are mine:

Video/Audio lesson method (example: video based lessons, Youtube video lessons, TTMIK) 

1. Watch/listen to video/audio lesson once all the way through (just listen and repeat)

2.  Re-watch while writing down new vocabulary (listening writing)

3.  Study new vocabulary (reading)

Write out and use a joke or story to remember each word

Look for examples of uses for words using videos or songs or something (Listening) (speaking)

 (if learning Korean, use Naver. If learning Chinese or Japanese use Fluent U to search for videos, commercials, music videos, and episodes of shows containing your vocab word. For everything else just search Youtube)

Write out each word ten times (writing)

4. Re-watch video/audio (Listening)

5. Repeat after video/audio (Speaking)

6. Study vocab again at end of the week

 Textbook method 

Tip: If you buy a textbook for self study, definitely get one with audio

1. Read textbook lesson with audio if included (reading) (listening)

2. Read lesson without audio

2. Study vocabulary (reading)

Make and write a joke or saying or story to help you remember each word (Exam

4. Look for examples of uses for words using videos or songs or something (listening) (speaking)

5. Write character out ten times each (writing)

6. Repeat after audio if included (speaking)

Vocab lists (example: Tumblr, Pinterest, etc)

Say you find a list of interesting vocabulary on Tumblr or Pinterest. You can plan to use this during the week!

1. Read vocab list (reading)

2. Find corresponding audio and repeat. You can use a dictionary audio (listening) (speaking)

3. Study vocab words (reading)

Make jokes or some story to help you remember

5. Look for examples of uses for words using videos or songs or something (reading) (speaking)

6. Repeat after audio (speaking)

Shows, Movies, Youtube Videos

1. Watch video 10 minutes at a time (listening) (DO NOT watch the whole thing unless it is short)

2. Study vocab and grammar (reading) (writing)

3. Make inside jokes or story to help remember vocabulary

4. Look for examples of uses for words using videos or songs or something (listening) (speaking)

5. Write vocab out 10 times (writing)

6. Make  any relevant notes about culture and usage

7. Repeat after video sentences (speaking)

This method takes a long time over a course of weeks to finish a movie.

Music and Songs

1. Listen to entire song without looking at lyrics (listening)

2.  Go find lyrics and study vocabulary line by line (reading)

3. Make jokes or a story to remember vocabulary

4. No need to look for examples of word usage if you don’t want to

5. Write out vocabulary 10 times

6. Stop studying after one paragraph or verse

7. Read the lyrics

8. Listen to the song and try to follow along

9. Do this until you learn the whole song

8. Make any cultural notes

Okay, so let me explain some details in the post. In every method, one of the steps is to make a joke or some kind of phrase to help you memorize a new vocabulary word. Let me explain. Sometimes it is very hard to remember vocabulary words unless there is a story behind them! Say your words is ���果 (apple) so you write the English translation and then below it you write, “Sarah refuses to eat her 苹果 and has now tossed it onto the floor. Sarah is 24.” Now you’ve written a short and memorable story about apples and are more likely to remember the word 苹果 . Got it? They teach this stuff in kindergarten and now you’re going to do it for you!

Note: If you are learning Chinese, you can use the radicals to make a story if you’d like. But that would require learning the radicals for every single word, which I encourage you to do anyway, but you don’t have to.

So how do you plan these into your weekly schedule? Easy! Pick a method and do that for one week and then change it to something else the next week. Or you can change it everyday or every few days. I will talk about it more in another post!

Thank you for reading! I hope this was helpful!
