I've been studying/teaching my coworker Korean and genuinely having such a fun time making powerpoints and worksheets for him and it's reminding me of when I was majoring in education before covid hit

If you're upset about duolingo firing it's translators, you should check whatever the equivalent to the BBC is for your target language (or the BBC if that language is English, but if your target language is English and you're reading this I think you're good) because a lot of major national news organizations have resources for learning their language. For example, DW has resources to learn German, NHK has resources for learning Japanese, TV5monde has resources for learning French. They're usually free (or at least, I haven't encountered one that's paid yet) and usually pretty comprehensive (though like with all language learning apps/websites def supplement it with other resources)

Why are you learning your target language(s)? Wrong answers only

Day 232: Could not focus on class prep so instead I worked on my PhD chapter which needs to be done by Friday anyway. Breaking the usual routine but as long as it allows me to be productive that's all that matters. Apple and chocolate for comfort. Fellow commuters for company.

the silliest way i track progress in learning languages is listening to the spongebob theme in target languages and seeing how much more i understand compared to last time

Oct 2, 2023 ・❥・Week 1 Day 2 of prepolygot’s Langblr Reactivation Challenge

Write a list of goals you have for your target languages. Make both long-term and short-term goals. An overall goal could be the ability to talk with a native speaker with ease and a smaller goal would be to finally learn that difficult grammar point that's been plaguing you for ages. How will you achieve them?

Non-Langauge Specific Goals

Watch and listen to more movies, shows, music and podcasts in target languages to practice listening, and repeating phrases back to practice speaking

Buy more books in target languages to practice reading

Start journalling in target languages to practice writing more often

Korean Goals

I don't have too many short-term goals for Korean, I'm more looking at the broad picture.

Reach B2

Watch a movie without subtitles and feel confident in understanding what is going on

Do more speaking exercises to gain more confidence in pronunciation

Focus on vocab more (I know a lot of grammar but it outweighs my vocab knowledge so I can't use my grammar to its full potential)

Japanese Goals

Reach B1

Improve my handwriting - sometimes I can't read the kanji when I go back later to review my notes :') But my handwriting can be improved overall

Create at least 60 vocab flashcards and memorize them by the end of the month (October)

Watch more subbed anime (often I swap to dub so I can do other things and leave the show on in the background. Watching in sub would force me to listen and focus more)

Spanish Goals

Reach A2

Do at least a lesson of Duolingo everyday

Continue watching children's shows dubbed in Spanish - Shout out to Bob Esponja

Focus on Latin American Spanish

Be confident in knowing when to use ser vs estar

Reach Intermediate on Spanish Pod 101

Langblr!! This popped up on r/AITA and I'm confused so I gotta ask

Context is that a teacher used the Spanish versions of their (American? Wasn't specified but read like it) students names and wouldn't respect that she didn't want to be called anything but her actual name. People made it out to be common that language classes give you a new name which I've never experienced.

Sep 29, 2023 ・❥・Week 1 Day 1 of prepolygot's Langblr Reactivation Challenge

Day 1: Create an introduction post about yourself. What's your name? What languages are you studying? What languages do you hope to study? What do you hope you'll get out of this challenge?

Hi everyone, long time no see. My name is Mi, I'm 24, and a native English speaker. I use masculine pronouns in any language I study, as well as they/them in English.

My old url used to be hangugeo-hands but I changed it because while I do still want to learn more KSL, Korean and Korean sign language aren't the only languages I want to study. I'm shifting my focus to more Spanish right now because I'm looking at a possible trip in the future! That being said, I'll still post other languages as well!

With this challenge, I hope to use it as a fun little game to really motivate me to renew this blog as I continue my studies.

This is a side blog! Any follows come from @baldyeosang

Languages Currently Studying

Korean

Japanese

Spanish

Languages I'd Love To Study One Day

Gaeilge

Get back into KSL

French

German
