#language study notes

[r-ene]

kind of anxious filled week... until the following week because the deadline for midyear class registrations is at the 25th but I haven't received an email of the subjects that I can take yet and I badly want to take some classes this midyear especially since my past uni's curriculum isn't aligned to my current uni's and I haven't taken the general subject that is prerequisite to the research classes for 3rd year and... who wants to be delayed on their thesis making + having groupmates you're not familiar with at all + different schedules + most likely would get delayed with graduating just because of this.

if anyone knows anyone who's willing to sponsor a respiratory therapy student, please hit me up (hahaha kidding)

other than that though, it's been a good week.... for the most part. my grades are qualified for dean's lister again, my sister finally got her car, my brother who's getting into a very prestigious IT/Engineering university for his senior years in high school had his orientations and hopefully good things continue to come. not only for our family, but for everyone 🤍

University starts again for me today. I really have a lot to do because the final exams are in a month.

So there's nothing better than going to the library after my seminars and studying while it's raining heavily outside.

learning languages study guide

daily: ♡ vocabulary and grammar practice ♡ lessons (i have four lessons per week at school. if you don't already take lessons, look into free language courses on alison, coursera or 101 languages)

once per week: ♡ translate a short text (i like to translate my journal entries)

one per fortnight/month: ♡ watch a movie in your target language, preferably animated movies as the language used is easier. you can watch with subtitles

additionally: ♡ talk to yourself; your friends; your pets in your target language ♡ text with someone in your target language ♡ repeat what you hear (in a podcast, lesson or movie)

luck with your language learning❤️

改まった形｜Polite Forms

In formal settings like in a business meeting or at a public gathering some words are switched with politer forms. You often hear them when somebody is giving a speech, holding a presentation or on TV. But they appear in written form as well, especially in business context. Basically, everywhere where keigo is used, it is also expected to apply politer forms.

there are so many words that I have only ever heard from my professor's mouth. if he hasn't told us and it's not in the two (2) pdf sources his institution has provided, i'm fucked

hangul practice

vocabulary building

printable/downloadable

example of scans:

example of grammar breakdowns:

i will be adding material over the coming weeks and continuously as i come across material! updates may be frequent or slow down at times.

note: resources are free, and they’re totally free to share and use! but please do not repost without credit, and because i buy these from my workplace with my own money and spend time scanning them and cleaning them up and organizing them, please consider tipping me as much as you’d like ♥️
