Also thanks @ the toki ponists who comment/add tags on my panda posting, I’m still no good at speaking/writing myself but I’ve gotten pretty good at reading/understanding now and reading y’all’s comments has been great practice for that ^^

Language Self Studying 12/31/22

🌟 reflection time baby 🌟

So this past month I’ve been studying Spanish, Toki Pona, Arabic, and ASL... How did it go? What worked? What didn’t?

In summary: it could’ve been better, but it could’ve been worse! I could beat myself up for not doing more, or make excuses for why I didn’t do more, but I’m simply Not Going To. The progress I made is the progress I made, and the progress I didn’t make is the progress I didn’t make, and that’s that. My Worth Is Independent From My Productivity.

...anyway I’m glad I decided to share a bit about it on tumblr! it’s nice to have some sort of record of my studying, and all you all fellow language studiers are cool B)

Also! Long post! So requests for info are here too!

Corrections are welcome! Like don’t be rude about it but for all of the languages I’m studying, if I’m messing something up let me know!

Also, practicing speaking and conversation is good and something I’d like to do more! If you wanna chat, let me know! I’m also available to answer questions / give advice for English :]

Lastly, if you know of a good Arabic dictionary, let me know! Preferably one that is online, has audio, and has the Egyptian dialect. Is ReversoDictionary or DictionaryReverso or however it’s called reliable? I like that they have audio and example sentences, but I don’t know much about it.

specifics on each language below! 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------español

Mis exámenes de español fueron bien (de verdad recibí un A en todas mis clases !!), y creo que mejoró mi habilidad de leer. 

¡Me encanta el libro Short Stories in Spanish de Olly Richards! No soy muy cómodo con las formas de vosotros, pero todo está bien. El nivel es un poco fácil para mí, pero aún así es bueno para reforzar los básicos. Sin embargo, ¡hay algunas palabras y algunas formas que son nuevas para mí! También puedo leer con fluidez más o menos, entonces leerlo es relajante.

A veces encuentro una palabra nueva, y la aprendo en el contexto. Pero, encuentro la misma palabra de nuevo, ¡y me olvido el significado! Quizás comience a escribir las palabras nuevas y crear tarjetas para recordar mejor.

Desafortunadamente no hablé con mis amigas de El Salvador :( ¡Somos tan ocupados durante este tiempo del año!

El semestre que viene tengo dos clases de español, una clase de conversación y una clase de lectura! Estoy animado para ellas, y me siento que estoy listo para ellas también :3

Además, hay hispanohablantes en tumblr! Hola! Las correcciones son bienvenidas, y me gustaría mucho charlar con ustedes :]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------toki pona

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------العربية

I feel decently comfortable with the alphabet-- recognizing letters, sounding out words, and writing a bit as well. Obviously it’s not perfect and these skills could be faster and smoother, but I know that will come with time with the language. 

The Egyptian Arabic for beginners course is decent enough, however I haven’t been using it as much because it doesn’t include words / phrases in the Arabic alphabet, just the romanization. It means I have to do a bit more work when taking notes on these videos, trying to figure out how something is spelled and looking it up in a dictionary. But it’s ok! Because in my investigations I happened across some other nice resources, like Arabic Khatawaat:

I've been using these videos to learn / practice writing the script, and there's a lot more content on this channel that looks promising!

I also found some ~free~ online textbooks! Here’s a link to Msulib’s textbook catalog, which includes Basic Hindi, Basic Khmer, Basic Urdu, Elementary Arabic I and II, and Elementary Chinese I and II. Of course, I’ve been looking into the Arabic textbooks:

I really like that it includes audio, and transcription, and how it’s written in the Arabic script! I’ve been using this textbook to make flashcards in Anki, and I like being able to include audio with my flashcards so I can get better at pronunciation / hearing :3

I definitely want to continue studying Arabic, which is good because I already have the resources for it! I want to start using the textbooks I have (both physical and digital) and continue making flashcards for vocab. However as I mentioned I like making them with audio, so if you know of a good Arabic dictionary, specifically with audio and with the Egyptian dialect, please let me know! I usually use wordref but they don’t have audio for the Arabic dictionary.

I’m happy with the progress I’ve made so far, and I’m excited to continue with this language and see where I go with it in the new year!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ASL

Ooh boy ASL is very fun and rewarding! I mean, maybe this is true for any language that is new to me, but I’m really enjoying learning ASL. I feel like if I put in the effort, I can progress in this language pretty quickly.

Also thank you to all the recommendations for resources! I had already saved some of Bill Vicars’ YouTube videos to my watch later playlist, but I wasn’t sure if it would be good because there’s a lot of not great ASL content on YT.

And you know what? Bill Vicars’ videos are really good! He's an engaging and funny teacher, and I feel like I understand a lot more compared to all those YT videos that are like ~learn 50 essential signs in 10 minutes!!!~ ...

However, it is kinda difficult to take notes. I’ve just been writing in a notebook how to sign something but it’s kinda difficult balancing the amount of detail to describe the sign. I want to make flashcards, but that seems kinda difficult for ASL. However, ...

The ASL app is kinda good as a way to do flashcards!! I wasn’t exactly enthused about learning on my phone, but it’s actually pretty convenient to cover up half the screen, then go thru the signs.

I might also make flashcards for ASL using photos from Bill Vicars’ website. I worry about using photos for flashcards tho, (like will I associate what is in the photo with the concept instead of the sign with the concept?) but maybe I’m overthinking it. I think generally I waste time worrying about the best way of doing something instead of actually doing it... so... it’s probably fine...

It’s interesting to see the subtle differences too! Like for questions, Bill Vicars teaches that the question sign goes at the end, where in the ASL app they put the question sign at the front. It makes more sense to me to put it at the end, but I don’t know why there are these differences. I wonder, like how American English isn’t the same all over the country, is American Sign Language the same way? Are there, like ASL regional dialects? I have much to learn. 

I’m definitely going to keep studying ASL. It’s very interesting to me and scratches a different part of my brain. I think I will join my university’s ASL club, too. I’m a little unsure, because I’m hearing and don’t personally know any Deaf people (but also,,,,, I believe my university’s ASL professor is also hearing? so...) But! I didn’t know any Spanish speakers before I learned Spanish! I don’t want to invade in people’s space, I just hope to meet some Deaf people, learn and practice ASL, and learn more about Deaf culture :3

Speaking of which, I put in a request at my library for Introduction to American Deaf Culture by Thomas K Holcomb. I’m excited to learn more!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

... and that’s all they wrote! Congrats on making it to the end, I hope you have a happy and healthy new year :]

Spring Semester Language Study Plan 🌸

so... you wanna study four languages while taking 22 credits and doing extracurriculars, hm?

just me? ... ok

tbqh im a lil nervous for this coming semester, because my schedule was already busy and then it suddenly got busier, so... 

The gist of it is I’m going to focus on Spanish (because I have to) ((because I’m taking two Spanish classes this semester)), but also consistently review my other languages (Toki Pona, Arabic, and ASL). I can spare 10 - 30 minutes each day going thru flashcards, reviewing notes, and for Toki Pona writing a little bit. Then, on the weekends, I’ll take more time to learn new content and to practice speaking, listening, reading, writing, signing, etc.

(as per, longish post so...)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- español

Ya tengo dos clases de español este semestre, y por eso voy a concentrarme en el español. Fuera de mis clases, quizás leyere este libro que recibí como un regalo de Navidad, Parallel Text Short Stories in Spanish...

El libro contiene cuentos de autores diferentes y una traducción en cada dos páginas. No sé si tendré el tiempo para leerlo, pero si lo leo, voy a cubrir el lado ingles con una hoja de papel. 

Aparte de eso, hablé sobre mi problema con recordar palabras nuevas en mi publicación anterior. Entonces cuando encuentro una palabra nueva (en este libro o cualquier contexto), voy a escribirla y crear tarjetas. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- toki pona

tenpo pini la, suno ale la, mi sitelen e toki pona lon ilo Snapchat (mi sona ala e ni: nasin pi toki pona e nimi “Snapchat” a a a). ken la mi sitelen e toki pona lon ilo Tanpa? mi lukin e toki pona lon ilo Tanpa mi la, mi pilin pona. sona mi la, jan ante li pilin sama. mi wile toki e toki pona mute. taso, tenpo awen la ilo Siko li pana e monsuta tawa mi a a a. tenpo kama la, mi lukin kepeken ona.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- العربية

For Arabic, I really just need to learn more vocabulary and how to form sentences. I’m still going thru Arabic Khatawaat’s Arabic Language for Beginners playlist, as well as MSU library’s Elementary Arabic I textbook. As I mentioned in a previous post, I also have quite a lot of physical Arabic resources as well...

I’ll be honest, the textbook A Textbook for Beginning Arabic Part One is kinda intimidating (what with it being so big and so red), so I’m supplementing with the book Arabic Verbs and Essentials of Grammar (which is much smaller lol). 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- American Sign Language

I’m still following Bill Vicars’ YouTube videos and taking notes as I go, and I might also make flashcards as I see fit. I’ve also started reading Introduction to American Deaf Culture by Thomas K Holcomb...

Despite it being a textbook, it’s not dry or boring or difficult to read at all. I really appreciate the inclusion of art, poems, and personal stories. I’ve already learned a lot about both Deaf culture and hearing culture.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and that is all! let’s hope I make it thru the semester in one piece :,)
