me casually learning modern greek after studying classical greek in college and the pronunciation of everything throwing me for a loop

[helenstudies]

I don't think I've ever said it here but my area of interest in linguistics is etymology, actually! I love reading about words and how they came to be. Unfortunately, since each and every word has their own little garden path they took in the course of history, it's hard for a person to keep track of them. At least etymology of words in my target languages are well-documented but that's not really the case with Burmese.

Burmese is a Tibeto-Burman language and like most other languages, it is a beautiful entangled mess. Old Burmese is a mix of Mon, Pyu and Pali languages. Modern Burmese is heavily influenced by languages of our neighbouring countries: which if you don't know are China, India, Thai, Bangladesh and Laos. [Side note: I think people have a general idea of where those five countries are but most people have no clue where Myanmar is. We're squarely in the middle of those five.] Anyway, I've been looking for etymology books on Burmese but they're not widely available to the public. The only source you can easily look up is Wikitionary but they're not that credible and also wikipedia is banned in Myanmar. And yes, you should be mad about that. Other than that, I love comparative studies about languages but I've never thought about what languages do I want to compare and study about. It'll come to me one day, I hope? For now, my thing is learn languages and read a lot about etymology.

11 Questions Tag

I was tagged by @languagesandshootingstars, thank you! Rules: post the rules, answer the 11 questions, make up 11 new questions, and tag 11 people.

1. What is your favourite kind of tea? Mint green tea or anything with ginger

2. Are you interested in any minority, endangered, or dead language(s)? Probably something spoken in Finland, like Northern Sami? (since @languagesandshootingstars posts about it :)) 3.

Questions: 1. What is the next language textbook/dictionary/book in your target language you want to get?

ooh, I dunno. Probably Genki 2 workbook and textbook

yes! I did sign language choir when I was in primary school, and it was really good! I wished it’d been available to continue it up the school

3. What kind of languages are you too intimidated to learn?

Russian. I’d never go to Russia, as it is I’m too intimidated. And if I was to try Chinese I’d not want to learn it by myself

Either mid morning to mid afternoon, or late at night

5. Have you ever had a native speaker of your target language as a penpal?

I don't have any with me now at uni but I do have some at home. Four cats, three chickens and a dog! The cats are three girls, Tilda, Maisey and Myfanwy, and one boy, Toby. He’s the youngest at 8 months and a grey main coon, the girls are mogs. Tilda and Maisey are black and white sisters, are twelve years old but act like chalk and cheese. Myfanwy is a 3 year old tortie, and a barn cat. They’re all very talkative and will sit in a row in the mornings with the dog to be fed strips of ham. If you say who it is for they will be patient until their turn. Charlie the dog is short and fluffy, and he loves cuddles. He’s very patient. The chickens are really funny and sweet. They follow you around the garden and warble a lot. They love strawberries. I miss em ;w;

7. What was your greatest language related accomplishment this year?

I got into the uni of my choice! I didn’t think I’d do it

8. What kind of candy do you like the most?

[smallstudyblring]

Lately I have received many DMs asking for advice on how to get noticed, how to get followers or advice on similar matters from people who have just a couple posts, if anything. So cheers on you guys for taking the first step, and I hope I can help you more throughout your journey! Now, onto the post: advice on how to start a studyblr.

Also, it’s going to be a long post. Therefore… Welcome to our GUIDE TO START A STUDYBLR

WHY STARTING A STUDYBLR

There are many reasons you might be thinking about getting started. You might be looking for some extra motivation, wanting to motivate others, the aesthetic or just to give it a try and see if you like it. Everything is a good reason to start posting!

WHAT DO I NEED TO START A STUDYBLR

First, let’s get one thing straight: the Aesthetic™ , AKA MacBooks, muji pens and moleskine journals should not stress you. Yeah, it’s cool. But you don’t need any of these things to start a studyblr. Just that curiosity that pushes you to learn and motivation to start one. Also, take small steps! Your goal might be achieving The Aesthetic, but that takes practise and hard work, not MacBooks or expensive ink. You can handletter with stabilos. Or with Milan markers from the corner shop. So no, you don’t need loads of money to start a studyblr: just start posting.

OK, I GET IT, I SHOULD JUST START A STUDYBLR RIGHT NOW. BUT HOW?

WHERE TO START: MAIN BLOG OR SIDEBLOG?

A good place to start is deciding if your studyblr is going to be a side blog or a main blog. For the newbies: you can only like, follow and make asks from your main blogs, but you can only have a blog with several authors and protected with a password with your side blog.

THE URL

Then, you should choose a URL. Most people just use their name and add “studies” or “academics” or something like that, like @emmastudies or @juliasacads. You can go more imaginative, like @studytherin or @brainiakk, but it would be good if your URL is related with studies in some way, it will be easier to find.

NOW, ONTO THE ICON.

You are going to need an icon. This icon is going to be your presentation card, so it better be good, following your taste and aesthetic and related to studies. People are going to see your posts reblogs by other people in their feed, and the only thing they will see of you, apart from the post itself, is your icon. So no pressure.

Some good places to create your own icon are canva or PicsArt, but canva is easier to use and has some great ready-to-wear templates, so I’d go for that one.

TIP: if you use letters in your icon, make sure they’re big enough to be seen when the icon is in use.

YOUR APPEARANCE AND THEME

Your appearance is how people see your blog when they’re in the app. Your theme is how they see it when they’re either logged into Tumblr and decide to stalk you or searching specifically for your prompt blog in a web browser.

Here you have @studylex’s appearance in the app:

And here you have the blog when you look her up/click on her username from your computer:

Her blog is so pretty because of her theme. If she didn’t have a theme, that’s how blogs look:

Yeah I know that’s an empty blog I created to show this. But you get the idea: a theme does wonders.

Themes are custom designs, which have a code you can change to make the blog look more according to your likes. You can choose among an almost infinite amount of them, and they are usually customizable from a tool bar, so you won’t have to learn programming for it. If you want to though, take a look here.

As I said before, themes are really varied so you don’t need to customize them much. You can find themes just by searching “Tumblr themes” in Google, or using this link, this one, or this one.

YOUR DESCRIPTION

You will have probably noticed the description most people in Tumblr have, and (although this part is very easy) you might be wondering what to put there.

Most studyblrs do something like this description by @chemathetics:

It says their level of studies, their subjects, their name and sometimes their age. Usually also their Hogwarts house because everyone is a fan of Harry Potter, and it’s surprising how much you know about one person once they tell you their Hogwarts house.

Most studyblrs also have a tag they track. If you are going to do this, it should also be specified in the description. 

TIP: Make sure you tag is not something like #hello because then you’ll go crazy trying to deal with the amount of posts using that tag.

You will also see some people using links in their descriptions, usually to their answered asks and their original posts. This way (taken from @studytherin’s blog)

Although some themes have options to do this, the best way is to use a tag system to keep your blog well organised and tidy, and add the links to your tagged “x” posts. If you browse https://blogname.tumblr.com/tagged/tag, you’ll see. To create a link to a specific tag inside your blog and add it to your description, do that, you will have to use HTML and insert it into your description from the edit option of your theme. THIS WILL NOT WORK IF YOU TRY TO ADD IT FROM THE APP. I will soon make as post with basic HTML functions, but here’s what you will have to use anyway: 

link text

In the url part, add https://blogname.tumblr.com/tagged/tag. In the link text part, whatever you want to be shown in your description link.

Then, of course, you will have to be careful to keep a good tag system. Think about the things you want to separate and DON’T FORGET WHAT TAGS YOU ARE USING!! Also, be careful for typos.

Some tags you can use to organise your blog are #original for your original posts, #inspo for those posts that make you want to sit down and study, #bujo for your bujo posts… yeah, you get it.

TIP: Since you specified that the link will go to the posts tagged #tag INSIDE YOUR BLOG, theres no problem if you use a simple tag (the #hello example would work here, the link would only display the #hello tagged posts INSIDE your blog)

SO MY BLOG IS DRESSED FOR A PARTY. WHAT NOW?

You said it: your blog looks awesome. Now you should get started on the content. Firstly, your intro.

Here’s how a normal studyblr intro looks like:

THINGS YOU SHOLD SAY IN YOUR INTRO:

Your name and age (if you are comfortable enough)

Your study level

The subjects you are taking and what you will be posting about: for example, if you are going to be a langblr or a sciencblr.

What made you want to start a studyblr

A little insight into you: do you like reading, watching movies, comics, a music group…

Some stdyblrs that inspire you. You shouldn’t fill your post with 100 names, but maybe up to 50 people its fine. You should just add @theirusername , and they will receive a notification and very likely reblog your posts and welcome you in some way. Thats one of the coolest parts of the studyblr community: how supportive it is.

TAGS TO USE IN YOUR INTRO POST.

#newstudyblr: some people track it

#intro post

#studyblr,#studyspo, etc

The tag system in tumblr is to be taken into account too: only the first five tags show up in most people’s search engines. This means that you can use as many tags as you want, but most people people will only be able to find your post using the first five tags. So, use them well!

TIP: tag it first with what it is: #bujo, #langblr, #studyblr. Then use the next few tags for tags other people track, so they will be able to find your post. You can add your organization tag past the five tags, because since its a search inside your own blog, the five tag rule doesn’t apply. You can add as many funny tags as you want later, like #im so bored.

There you go! You published your first official post as a studyblr!! Now, how should I keep it alive, gaining followers and reblogs and making studyblr friends?

Your intro post should work pretty well with that: with the personal information you provided (what you like, etc) people with similar interests might message you. With your study level and subjects, people who are doing similar things/running similar blogs will follow you. With tagging people, your post will be reblogged and reach a wider number of people. So your intro post will get you your first followers. Now you just have to stay active! The studyblr community is incredibly nice, so you can message most studyblrs anytime, and ask them how they’re feeling that day, or make some asks about how they take pictures or stuff like that. There are also a lot of networks and studygroups you can join that will help you meet other studyblrs. Don’t hesitate joining them!

The key to keep your blog alive is to keep posting. I know its hard to post original content everyday, but reblogging content is easy, so do it! Be careul to reblog only studyblr related stuff. I love harry styles, but I have another account for that. Original content is what gives your blog its true meaning, so DO NOT JUST STOP WITH IT. And again, if you dont reach the level of @emmastudies or @juliasacads‘s original posts just yet, do not lose faith! Those amazing looking posts take practise! Ask them for advice and keep trying, having a studyblr is not just about posting nice stuff, but also about becoming better and better.

I wish you the best with your new studyblr!
