someday someone is gonna be so soft and gentle with your heart, you’re gonna be so glad you kept it open, you’re gonna wonder why you ever thought about quieting it down

Allow yourself to grow.

Readings! Readings galore! My eye doctor was surprised at how bad my eyes got within one year, but hey, with everything on screens and the truckload of work we have to do as uni students, how can I help it? 😂Until my new glasses are ready, I’m gonna have to remain semi-blind for two more weeks RIP

你好！hello! so this is my first masterpost and i decided to make a masterpost on chinese since i am currently learning chinese and have been since i was around 5. i haven’t seen very many chinese masterposts here and hoped this will help every single one of you who are currently learning chinese or would like to start learning!! 

the basics:

chinese tools learn chinese - they have 31 lessons!

bbc learn chinese - several different sources

memrise - i’ve heard lots of good things about this site!!

quizlet - great for grammar, flashcards, i used this at school since my chinese teacher made sets for use to learn!

CCTV learning chinese - CCTV is a chinese tv broadcaster, this has a lot of videos you can watch

mandarin chinese pinyin chart with audio - awesome chart of pinyin and tones

you could also find a chinese ethnic school near you, this is what i did but i know many non-chinese who choose to go to a chinese school since you are surrounded by others who are also at your level and you have a teacher in person to teach and guide you. having native chinese speakers around you is definitely helpful and it will help you develop listening and speaking skills! :)

apps:

learn chinese - chineseskill  [ android | ios ] free

learn chinese - hello chinese [android | ios ] free

skritter [ android | ios ] free for a week, then you have to pay

pleco dictionary (the best thing ever honestly) [ android | ios ] free and there is a paying option but the free version is still good!

line dictionary [ android | ios ] free

laokang tone test [ ios ] free but no android version :(

shi zhi - learn characters [ android (this is a similar app and its cute!!) | ios ] the android app is free but ios app isn’t

dictionaries:

MDBG dictionary - has both a simplified and tradition character option and also you can draw the characters and they can recognize them

line dictionary - sometimes this site doesn’t work for me but when it does it is very useful!! also has a handwriting option

chinese tools

chinese text annotation - i’m not sure if this counts as a dictionary, however whenever you copy and paste or type a chinese paragraph into the box you can annotate the phrases and get the pinyin and the english meaning

google translate - ok i know this isn’t a very reliable translation option, however when you type a paragraph of chinese into it, it shows the pinyin which is v useful for those who need to write down the pinyin into their textbooks etc etc

other resources:

中外对话 china dialogue - read chinese articles for you to improve your reading skills and to find new vocab

slow chinese - another chinese article site where it also has audio and podcasts on itunes. slow chinese also translates not only into english, but german, french, portuguese and many more languages!! [podcasts]

music, movies & tv shows etc.:

myasiantv - other than korean dramas and movies, myasiantv offers chinese ones!!

最强大脑 the brain china - a game/talent show aiming to find people with exceptional brain power

非诚勿扰 if you are the one - a game/dating show, addicting :’)))

奔跑吧兄弟 hurry up, brother (aka. running man china) - running man is a very popular variety show in korea and now there is a chinese version based on the original version!

learn chinese now - youtube channel

chinese class 101 - youtube channel

tips:

try to make learning chinese fun!! watching tv shows in chinese with or without subs will definitely help you pick up on some vocab and pronunciation

engage with native speakers, if you have chinese friends, ask them to help you with conversation and pronunciation, don’t be shy!

try to use at least one word/phrase in a sentence each day, this will help you in future for making sentences

keep on practicing! i stopped learning chinese for 2 years and i actually lost a lot of vocab that i learnt and when i started again, it was hard to remember some of it ;A;

other language resources: 

language learning tips + resources by @study-ings 

free online language courses by @wonderful-language-sounds 

tips + tricks for learning a language by @ofminervas

chinese resources by @brbimstudying

ok this was a huge masterpost tbh but i hope i was helpful!!

What my morning has been looking like. Starting to feel unprepared for this exam ahhh.

Cute farmshop visits with my mum & Gran yesterday 🌸🥒🥕

[hypatian]

Small update: I posted this almost 1 year ago and went on a Tumblr hiatus. A lot has happened ever since. Things got really ugly for me in the first few months of 2018 but I’m at a slight better place now, mentally and emotionally: I’m busier than I’ve ever been because I graduate in less than 5 months, but I’m happy about having a concrete plan for my thesis that I’ve been writing for a while now and making steady progress. There’s still a long way to go, and this doesn’t scare me anymore, I know I’m capable of finishing it and getting a good grade. The biggest change this year has brought me was perhaps that I started therapy and I absolutely love my therapist, she treats me like a dear friend and has been helping me a lot with building confidence and learning how to deal with everything. I was once a very positive and optimistic person, and now I’m trying my best to approach life like this again.

And here’s where Dutch comes: I’m FINALLY being serious about it. I’m trying to study it a little everyday! And I even made some Dutch friends! For some reason, it’s a very comforting language, I don’t really know how to explain this, but just the thought of it makes me feel warm inside. Now I need those resources more than ever. I hope I can continue getting better at it. <3

That’s all, friends, until next time!

New plans!

Since I’ve been so busy with uni lately (plus, I haven’t been exactly an exemplary intern at the office I work at), this has been leading me to extreme anxiety, lack of sleep, anger bursts, added to my depression. I feel the need to have something, a personal project that could help me distance myself from all of this for some moments. Now, I need to tell you. For days I’ve been feeling a strange pull towards what might be the answer.

I want to learn Dutch! I don’t think I can start anytime soon, not until I’ve had my exams, but I’m tired of making small progress (as it has been with French for years). I want to dive into it for real. Does anyone know any Dutch studyblrs/langblrs or bloggers who speak Dutch? I need resources, such as books, videos, everything there is to use. And of course, I want to make friends. ❣️
