Learning Languages and How to Make it Fun

(gifs not mine, credit to the artist)

How does a child learns? Immersion

So you gotta dive deep

Find songs that you like. You don't have to understand, you just have to enjoy the song.

Listen them at least once a day. The idea is for you to get familiar with the sounds.

Once you have already heard them too many times (without getting tired of them) look for the lyrics. In their native language, not a translation.

If you can read in that language, then try reading them. Print them if you have to or write them down (this is better) and as you listen to the song try to sing.

If there's a word/sentence you like because it sounds pretty, mark it.

If there's a word you don't know how to/can't pronounce, mark it.

For example, I have a journal in which I write Japanesse Kanji that I find beautiful (whether is because of the meaning or the symbol itself is pretty)

Once you are familiar with the song look for a translation.

Check those words you have marked with the translation.

While looking for definitions it's better if you find images (so can have an idea of what that word is) instead of a definition in your language (unless is a long/complicated concept).

Movies, you must watch movies in that language. Better if they are from that country. (It can also be a doubled movie, perhaps you could look for one of your favorites)

Watch them with subtitles (in your language) once or twice. Then watch them again but this time without subtitles or with subtitles of said language. (You already know the plot, so you can still understand what's going on)

If you like to read, look for children literature. It's easy and fun.

Keep reading even if you don't understand a single sh*t. It doesn't matter.

Mark again those words you like, don't know the meaning or can't pronounce.

Write at least one sentence every day. It doesn't have to be right, it doesn't have to be long or poetic, you just gotta write.

If you still don't know much about grammar (enough to formulate a sentence on your own) then write a quote from one of those songs, movies or books you read. Again it doesn't matter if you don't understand what are you writing.

If you already know another language, try to learn the new language with that one. For example, I learn german from english instead of my native language spanish.

Videogames. In my experience this is amazing. You have no idea idea how much I learned english just from games.

You have fun playing, engaged with a story, while constantly hearing the language. You don't even have to pay attention at what they are saying, eventually you'll figure it out. It's very intuitive.

And because games, usually, requires that you spend many hours playing you will have a lot of practice without actually studying.

Some games, if you look on the settings menu, even have other languages instead of english. For example I played Assassin's Creed Brotherhood in italian and french and AsC III in russian and japanese (the voice actors are fantastic).

Seriously, videogames are freaking amazing for learning.

The idea of this, is that you can imitate the learning process a child does, while also having fun and enjoying it. Kids learn by making mistakes, by playing with words and by being constantly surrounded with the language. At first, kids have no idea what they are doing, they just repeat what they see and hear. So it's okay if you don't know what are you doing, take that pressure off. This is not school/college, this is just you trying to learn a culture. So be kind and patient with yourself.

LEARNING SHOULD BE FUN, be creative with your methods and try everything (so you can find what you are comfortable with). It is scientifically proved that if you like what you are studying and having fun it will be 10x easier to assimilate and remember the knowledge you are acquiring.

Lo más difícil de aprender en la vida es saber qué puente hay que cruzar, y qué puente hay que quemar.

Aún sabiendo sobre el infinito nuestra defectuosa mente no puede comprender racionalmente lo que es... Jajaja... Y al final no importa que tanto alardeemos de la contemplación y el sentir si la razón sigue teniendo el trono máximo... Nuestros cuerpos podrán encontrarse pero nuestras almas siguen perdidas...

“ The bright side represents an ideal order in religion and in myths, while the dark side represents the wild overgrown infinity that hides beyond the limits of order. The polarity between the bright and the dark is reflected in the conflict between the ideals of classicism and Gothicism. The classical ideals are founded on clarity, reason, light and rules.The gothic ideals are metaphysical and are founded on archaic visions, dreams, the dark and obscure, inspiration and infatuation.” <From the Dragon Rouge site.

Traducción:

“El lado luminoso representa un orden ideal en la religión y en los mitos, mientras que el lado oscuro representa él salvaje y enorme infinito que  se esconde más allá de los límites del orden. La polaridad entre la luz y la oscuridad es reflejada en el conflicto entre los ideales del clacisismo y el goticismo. Los ideales clásicos están fundados en la claridad, la razón, la luz/iluminación y las reglas. Los ideales góticos son metafísicos y están fundados en visiones arcaicas, sueños, lo oscuro y profundo, la inspiración y la pasión.” <Del sitio de Dragon Rouge.

EL ORIGEN.

En la basta y perfecta indiferenciación, todo y nada, calmo océano infinito, eterno abismo inconsciente... Se hizo presente un inesperado suceso, conquistando una porción del reino idílico. Al mirarlo de cerca descubrimos un misterioso pero fascinante extranjero. La oscuridad perpetua había sido alterada por una especie de tensión superficial de diferentes niveles, en donde la llamada "luz" daba como resultado millones de formas visibles entre ellas, con cientos de colores. Una nueva dimensión había surgido en ese ahora llamado "lugar", donde todo era nombrable, tangible, diferenciable. Había, tal vez, un comediante perverso detrás de este terrible pero maravilloso prodigio, donde el tiempo ya no era la eternidad, todo y nada eran ahora "algo", colorida tormenta que nunca paraba de girar sobre sí misma... Presente en todo lo que transformaba, tal vez una conciencia por sí misma...
