studying for the lsat (for free)

i know lsat prep courses are so expensive and i cannot pay for that so i thought i’d share what i’ve been doing

insight lsat on youtube has a playlist with a free prep course, in which they go over each section of the lsat/each type of question you’ll encounter. it’s very helpful and i recommend pausing the video and trying to answer yourself whenever the instructor recommends it!

after going through question types, he provides a list of “homework questions” — the questions add up to essentially being 2 full sections from a few different practice tests, so at the moment i’m doing the questions one recommended practice test at a time (making it 2 full sections each time i practice)

i compile answers to these practice questions in a google doc, where i correct myself and make notes on what went wrong, as well as label what types of questions i missed so i can see any patterns

i use a notion spreadsheet to track how much time per day i study, as well as scores and/or percent accuracy for my actual practice (when doing the homework questions/2 sections instead of a full test, i calculate accuracy since i do not have an actual score)

after working through the lsat insight course and doing all recommended practice, my next step will be to do full timed sections (when i do homework practice it is untimed)

then, i will take a full timed test, so that i have a new diagnostic score and i can plan out the next phase of studying. i will once again track what types of questions i’m missing so i can implement more targeted practice.

more notes:

- i get my practice tests of pdf coffee

- i check answers using manhattan prep (it’s a forum so explanations are detailed and written by real people)

i hope this was at all helpful, and if anyone has any questions or recommendations let me know! :)

How to improve pronunciation

Salut! How would you recommend someone to improve their pronunciation in French if they don’t have access to a class/live in the country where French is spoken? I’m trying so hard but I struggle a lot with pronunciation but it’s so so important to me to be able to pronounce words properly and speak well because I love this language so much and it’s very important to me but I’m struggling a lot

You don’t have to live somewhere in particular or go to school to get any kind of skill. Practice and hard work will always be enough. Now :

Study this post about phonetics

Study this post about pronunciation

Listen to audiobooks while reading the written version (see below) 

Watch subtitled stuff (Netflix, TED talks, hacked content, TV5 Monde’s Sept jours sur la planète, Public sénat)

Speak to yourself, pretend to be a Youtuber, debate out loud (…) and record it so you can listen to it later

Some resources :

Youtube’s pronunciation channels

The website Forbo (natives pronouncing words)

The website Reverso (translation, pronunciation, context)

The website Linguo.tv (french videos + subtitles)

Phonetic transcription

Audiobook/ebook combo :

Le Petit Prince - Saint Exupéry AU / EB 

1984 - George Orwell AU / EB 

The Alchemist - Paulo Coehlo AU / EB 

The Art of War - Sun Tzu AU / EB

The Call of Cthulhu - Lovecraft AU / EB 

Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Caroll AU / EB 

L’Île mystérieuse - Jules Verne AU / EB 

The Bible AU / EB 

The Fellowship of the ring - J.R.R. Tolkien AU / EB 

Pride and prejudice - Jane Austen AU / EB 

Le Horla - Maupassant AU / EB 

Candide - Voltaire AU / EB 

The Black Cat - Edgar Allan Poe AU / EB 

Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde AU / EB 

Hope this helps! x

Connaître VS Savoir

Salut! Do you have any posts on connaitre vs savoir? It’s still something that confuses me haha

Connaître (being aware of):

To know someone : Je connais Julien depuis dix ans

To master something : Je voudrais tout connaître

To be appreciated : Je suis connue pour mes talents de pianiste

To have intimate relationships (lit/rare) : Ils se sont connus jadis

To feel (physically/mentally) : Je ne connais pas la peur 

To practice, submit to something : Ma colère ne connaît pas de limites

To know oneself (reflexive) : Je me connais trop bien

Savoir (knowing how to do):

To know : Je sais!

To have something memorized : Je sais bien ma leçon 

To master something : Je sais très bien danser

To be used to/good at doing something : Je sais convaincre les foules

To be able to : Je ne saurais vous le dire

To learn/be told about something : Je sais bien qu’il est parti

How to live the jester academia aesthetic in every day life

-your study space is any space. if you feel slightly motivated by doing homework in bed, then do it there. if you need a desk (organized or messy) in order to work, then you do you.

-procrastinate with creativity. got a hobby you enjoy that’s infinitely better than reading some old book that’s not really all that important anyway? spend four hours working on that instead.

-wear literally whatever you want. you don’t need button ups, vests, or dress pants if that’s not your style. a sweatshirt, floral skirt, or ugly ass thrifted hawaiian shirt will do just as well if it makes you happy

-don’t get bogged down by depressing things just because it’s “aesthetic.” thinking about the inevitability of death might be nice for some people, but turning yourself into a moody asshole isn’t good for you in the long run. enjoy happy things, romantic things, as long as they don’t always end in tragedy. 

-consume media you enjoy. if you find classics boring, don’t feel obligated to read them. if poetry isn’t you thing, then that’s fine. if you don’t like classical music, indie, etc. blast some pop music in your bedroom or whatever else your into. the interest does not the jester make. 

-finally: do your best. don’t push yourself to be constantly searching for and taking in new knowledge. take a break, be mindless, allow yourself to relax until the next time you need to learn something new.

Your chocolate brown hair that always seems to be flattened in a baseball cap, and when you take it off there it is the side part that I make fun of all the time.

Not in a I hate you way, but in a way that makes you adorable. Is it weird noticing these things about you? But I notice all types of things like this with others all the time.

The boy that rides the bus at 7:10am with me and his black Bose headphones or the girl who I briefly passed by for a few seconds and her scent of coconut perfume. I remember it all. So it isn’t new to me, but what it is, is scary. Because I care about what you think of me in return so much.

I am certain you know I exist, a familiar face, maybe not my name, which is fair because I do the same. Rather I want to get to know you, yes you are handsome, you’re just my type and yes I’ve imagined scenarios, but what I want to happen the most is to be friends. I’ve never believed in love— no scratch that, I do believe in love, but I don’t believe in it for myself.

I am young, I have been reckless and I most certainly have failed relationship after relationship.

That’s why, I don’t care about getting hurt, but I care about being so perfectly happy when it isn’t true.

I dream of a perfect man, a perfect love not in the definition of perfect itself, but rather the perfect in how he’ll buy me my favorite pants and flowers, open the door for me, stand on the outside by the street, hold hands as much as possible, lean down to hear me and whisper the most outlandish words into my ears at an inappropriate time.

Cook with me, dance the night away, always have open arms, listen to my rants and have the ops, let me cling to him physically and help me bench press and give me kisses as rewards.

That’s the perfect thing that I want, for him to be attractive to me, tall, funny, have a beautiful smile, in essence to sweep me off my feet. I want to believe you are this man, but maybe you are, just not mine. I guess I have to be fine with that, and if I never become your friend at least, I guess I really don’t believe in love.

Maybe one day I’ll be confident enough in myself to not care what the outcome is. I know life is short, I tell myself that all of the time; I hear it and I see it.
