Tengo un examen de psicología hoy. He revisado, pero tengo aún un poco miedo. No sé por qué. Generalmente saco buenas notas en mi clase de psicología.

Some days you have to study in bed as a compromise, because otherwise you wouldn’t study at all.

wissbegierde - él tiene muchos videos sobre diferentes lenguas, ambos lenguas reales & conlangs. también habla de cómo aprender lenguas.

leyendas & videojuegos - este canal es un canal de ensayos, historia, curiosidades y diseño de videojuegos. los topicos son siempre interesantes.

Currently filled with a strange and envious longing of those who are fluent in more than one language, who can read and write poetry in more than one language.

(Spanish is calling to me. I will answer.)

For the purpose of practicality, I'll write this in English for now, as it'll be the most universally understood:

My name is Val, I'm 18, I'm from the UK so my native language is English, and I'm currently awaiting decisions from universities in order to study foreign languages. I'm hoping to study German and Japanese as part of my university course, while also taking advantage of university wide language programmes to begin learning Russian. I had about a year of dedicated Japanese study when I was around 12, and I remember a lot of the basics, but nothing meaningful enough to post here or probably even classify as A1, however I can read hiragana and katakana fairly well to this day.

My interest in languages has been an integral part of my life as far back as my memory reaches. Before the age of ten, a family friend conducted at home French lessons with me. I'd say when I got to secondary school and was put into French and German classes my enthusiasm really blossomed. I was pulled out of school at the age of 11 to be homeschooled, and filled the majority of my time independently teaching myself Japanese. I slowly came to a point of being able to have an incredibly basic conversation with others before being placed back into traditional schooling and losing the free time I had for Japanese, and my studying fizzled out.

When I returned to school, I chose German as a GCSE. Despite being behind, I quickly caught up. By halfway through year 10, though, Covid was at its peak, and due to my school's safety measures combined with my mum being high risk, I was pulled out of school yet again. I later returned to do my A-levels there, having no GCSEs or formal exam experience whatsoever. This was when I chose German as an A-Level. Despite these various setbacks, I achieved a high grade I'm incredibly proud of. I'm now completing a voluntary 3rd year of college in order to complete an AS course I began last year as a full A-level. From September this year, I've had the opportunity to join my German teacher's year 11 GCSE Spanish class and will be taking the exam at the end of the year. My only prior experience with the language was the studying I began in June in order to prepare for joining the class. Since October I've also been asked to assist my German teachers in their lower year classes as a voluntary teaching assistant, an opportunity which I'm elated over.

I'm currently hoping to be able to become a language teacher in the future, even likely abroad. I'd eventually like to get a TEFL/TESOL qualification for this as well and gain the opportunity to teach my native language as a foreign one in another country. I'm quite sold on this idea, and I've wanted to be a teacher since I was 8, but I'm still keeping my options open to the idea of translation as well as any other job ideas and opportunities that might strike me in the next few years. As long as I get to engage with foreign languages day to day, I'm interested.

| Summer 2023, Valencia, España

Throwback to Summer last year when we found this interesting secondhand bookstore in Valencia, Spain. It's called El Club de Los Libros Libres. The rule is simple, bring as many books you want then exchange for the same amount of "new" books you want. It's a cute idea to recycle and give new life to these old books.

There are multiple languages aside from Spanish and Valencian, such as Italian, German, and French. I found some Russian books too.

If you are in Valencia, perhaps take a quick stop. It's located very close to Platja de la Malva-Rosa.

Help I'm looking for podcasts & documentaries & other LISTENING media in Spanish & Greek

I don't mean podcasts MEANT for learners I wants stuff meant for the people who speak the language. I'm basically shoving down everything I enjoy listening to.

Greek history, mythology, modern folklore

Ancient Near East history or mythology

Dominican history or modern folklore

Taino history or mythology

Anything related to indigenous American history, languages, cultures, modern problems etc

Archaeology especially stone age cultures

Human evolution

The Universe & layman astronomy

Deep sea ocean exploration for a layman

The Arctic ocean, landmass, history, exploration, circumpolar indigenous peoples etc

Disasters, but not news reports I mean documentaries, history that sort of thing

Religions, I don't mean sermons or meditations I mean something that goes over religious ideas, theology, cosmology, history from a non-religious standpoint.

Commentary Youtubers... think Swoop or iNabber but just in Spanish or Greek. Or even tea channels

Horror game letsplayers on youtube

If you know where to find Greek DUBS of movies/TV shows other than netflix that'd be appreciated too

...I like other things but I think, hopefully, that's enough. I don't want true crime since I can't properly listen to trigger warnings. I'm just not a fan of fiction so a lot of movies and TV are pointless to try and learn from.

History Vault & Curiosity Stream don't seem to have Spanish content unfortunately. I do have HBO Max and will get Hulu & Disney+ eventually later this year so recommendations on those 3 are also good!

Feel free to leave a comment or maybe reblog since I'm sure the majority of my followers aren't Spanish or Greek speakers

Day 8 of learning Spanish

my brain: Oh! Oh! We know how to say that in Spanish! me: How could we possibly know how to say that in Spanish? We know like 100 Spanish words and almost no grammar. my brain: We definitely know it! me: No we don't. my brain: We do! I've never been so sure of anything in my life! me: *sigh* Fine, what is it? my brain: *spews French* :-)
