Japanese pitch accent - 高低アクセント

I thought I’d add these resources as I haven’t seen much around for pitch accent.

What is pitch accent (高低アクセント)? Basically whether a mora (equivalent of a syllable in Japanese) has a high or low pitch. I read a lot online that pitch accent doesn’t really matter, it varies somewhat from region to region anyway, BUT I think it’s still important as completely wrong pitch accent is definitely a barrier to comprehension and marks you out straight away as having a ‘gaijin accent’. 

Pitch accent dictionary: As it sounds. A small dictionary with a line over each word to indicate pitch accent.

Spoken pitch accent dictionary: Same as above but with a lot of recordings as well in both male and female voices. It also gives you different verb forms and lets you search multiple words at once so you can hear and learn the difference between words like 切る and 着る or 買った and 勝った.

If you’re learning a language and need to polish up on your grammar I would 100% recommend the language gym where you can:

select tenses to be tested on

test your vocabulary knowledge

play games that test these skills

I only use the grammar testing part but as far as I’ve seen its a very useful resource!

basics of a weekly spread

hello!! and welcome to a quick guide on how to set up a weekly spread in your bujo, à la aurie style (that’s me!) weekly spreads are hella handy for planning your week out, keeping track of your day-to-day to-dos, AND having space to fill up with other information you’d like to keep!

although there are many variations of what a weekly spread can entail, i’ve found this format to be useful to me as a student with lots of projects, homework and after-school events. it’s helped me to keep up with my workload, as well as pick out days where i can fit in a study session or a day out with my friends :)

so without further ado, *drumroll please* let me breakdown each part of this spread to you!

week title

a very simple header that tells me the month and dates of this week! some people prefer having a mini calendar next to this so they can tell which week of the month it is, but i use my school terms instead. in this case, i’ve written T2W2 as a short form for term 2 week 2!

overview of your week

this is used in conjunction with your daily spaces! i stick to a simple legend for events, special days and tasks, but you can create your own version.

in the table i’ll write down events like my training schedules, consultations with teachers, project submissions etc. note that you shouldn’t be writing specific tasks like “finish chemistry report” in this table, but rather under a daily space.

daily spaces

so this is where your individual tasks go! to make it easy on your eyes, i’d recommend having the headers - which are really just the name and/or date of the day - a different colour from what the colour you’ll be writing your tasks in. 

with daily spaces, you can allocate tasks to whichever day you’d like to do it on, and easily migrate it over to another day if needed.

tracker

tbh this is something i don’t always add but i do like the idea of trackers. I tend to use mine to note down how much i sleep each day, but of course, you can track other things such as the number of hours you study or spend on ig.

trackers act as a good motivator because it can make you more aware of how much time you are doing a particular activity, and subsequently, you can adjust your time spent for the better!

next week

like the tracker, i don’t add this to every weekly spread but it keeps me in check when i know i have a lot of events or submissions due next week. 

also, if you do your spreads way in advance then you most likely won’t need this because you can simply write events on your next spread! unfortunately, i have a proclivity to procrastinate setting up my spreads so i need a space to write next week’s significant days down.

design

the look of your weekly spread will vary depending on your preferences. personally, i love having some colour while keeping the spread to a more minimalistic style. 

some ways you can vary your design: ⬩  colour scheme ⬩  font (of header & daily spaces) ⬩  design of weekly overview table ⬩  rearrange format of spread!! switch things up here and there ⬩  doodles ⬩  add stickers or pictures in

and that’s it! hopefully for those who are struggling to find a suitable system they like using this may help you. do drop me an ask if there’s any other aspect of this that you’d like me to explain, or you have other questions about my bujo and weekly spreads! thank you ˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙

french resources masterpost

i don’t even know where to begin with french…i love learning languages so much, i really wish my parents had started me when i was younger. i started taking french in seventh grade but i really hope to spend a semester abroad in france & visit senegal when im older. however, french can get super crazy with accents and hard pronunciation and fancy vocab, which can get really confusing, so here’s a masterpost w all of the french resources i’ve gathered :) 

where to start

duolingo aka the most amazing free language learning program ever

rosetta stone- i’ve heard really great things about this program, but it is not free 

bonjour- this website is rlly helpful & even if you’re already in a french class like me, you can find lots of resources for when you’re confused :) plus it’s free!!

babbel- they have programs for beginners + advanced 

grammar + spell check

bonpatron-  grammer + spell check

languagetool- grammar + spell check

reverso- grammer + spellcheck

how to change the spellcheck language on word

dictionaries

collins

word reference (this is my personal favorite, i highly recommend it + it is so much better than google translate & much more reliable!!) 

larousse

linternaute

linguee (this one is probably my second favorite)

you can get word reference (free!!) on the app store, as well as linguee (which i think is free as well??)                               

phonology

french vs english phonology

french pronunciation for beginners

pronunciation chart

guide to french pronunciation

exercises you could try

+ more practice

the ultimate guide to french pronunciation w videos!!

10 pronunciations you won’t learn in school

ok so i just found out the other day that if you’re on flashcards on quizlet & you press the little speaker icon it will say the word for you!! this has been super helpful on my auditory quizzes + generally getting a feel for the pronunciation of words. but i wouldn’t say it’s too reliable so definitely check out these other resources (link to quizlet) 

grammar

passe compose help (past tense)

passe compose w/ avoir

passe compose w/ etre

passe compose practice (+ more)

imparfait vs passe compose 

a helpful post explaining imparfait vs passe compose

music

these are a few of my favorites:

stromae- hip hop//electronic but i still like his music

maitre gims- rapper but he sings quite a bit in his songs 

joyce jonathan- omg her songs are so cute please go listen

christophe mae-can we just talk about his song “tombe sous le charme” i love it + he sort of reminds me of jack johnson 

vianney!!- guys “je te deteste” is my favorite song on my french playlist right now. the sophomore that sits next to me in our french class recommended him to me & i can’t stop listening 

christine & the queens

also check out these links for more music:

8tracks- french music

other stuff to listen to//watch

french youtubers

10 podcasts for french learners

the ten best tv shows to watch for french learners

ok don’t throw anything at me but watching peppa pig in french is actually a good method (i don’t remember who suggested this to me but thank you so much @ whoever it was) 

easy to understand french movies

news + culture

savoirs

euronews

1jour1actu

l’humanite

multilingual books

some blogs (not on tumblr) in french + about french culture (frenchcrazy, i learn french, oui, c’est ca, french together, fluentfrenchnow)

my tips

definitely keep a vocab notebook where you can either paste vocab lists or write them in on your own

listen to french music. find your own favorite artists. and tell me, so i can put them in here. but seriously, go do it & get those phrases + pronunciations stuck in your head!!

making quizlets for vocab will benefit you more than just using someone else’s

find friends in your class to help (if you’re in highschool, upperclassmen are a blessing pls go ask them questions if you’re lost in class), the senior that sits next to me is really good at conjugating, and i’m pretty good at remembering vocab so we make a great team

find/join a study group!! the freshman girls in my french class made a group chat & we all send links to quizlets/other resources & help each other with homework 24/7

ask questions/do speaking exercises during class. trust me, you will benefit from it. plus, having your teacher correct you on your pronunciation during class is much less embarrassing than getting an F on that speaking test

Simple Directional Complements in Mandarin!

 Thank you for the vibrant response in the comments/likes! Let’s dive right into simple directional verb complements!

So, as you’ve probably guessed from the name, directional complements signal the direction within a sentence - of something or someone.

The main directional verbs you need to know are：

上 (up)

下 (down)

进 (enter) 

出 (go)

过 (go over)

回 (return)

起 (get up)

For example， 走进教室 (walk into the classroom)，放下你的杯子 (put down your cup)

These can be paired with either 去 or 来 to signal the direction of the verb in relation to the speaker. 去, for example, signals anything going away from the speaker. 

Take the sentence “大卫，过去那边！”. In this, the speaker is telling David to go over there - a place away from the speaker. 来 acts in the opposite way, the object or person comes towards the speaker or their nearby vicinity. 

(Link to picture)

N.B.: Remember that 起, meaning to get up, can thus only be used with 来 because you can’t really go away from yourself when you get up.

Examples:

小狗！过来，过来！

啊下雨了！我们回去吧。

这是今天的作业，请写下来！

If there is an object in the sentence then the sentence structure generally follows the S  + V + O + 来/去 format:

E.g. 我要下楼去买一点东西。

了 can be put after the main verb or the directional complement in this case also!

E.g. 我买了一些水果来 OR 我买来了一些水果。
