Just Some Habits Ft. Flowers

// August, 2022

Quarantining, reading 'Hippie' by Paulo Coelho and really feeling the desire to travel. But first, I've got to study for the TOEFL iBT so I can do the test in September!

Currently reading: Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari ― “Humans are rarely satisfied with what they already have. The most common reaction of the human mind to achievement is not satisfaction, but craving for more.”

first pages of the new journal, I always feel like it takes me a bit of time to get into a new book, or maybe I’m just being lazy for a bit 🤪 rest up!

14.05.18 [18/40 days of productivity] I really love night studies, (it’s not healthy but I can’t resist myself especially in exam weeks) today I had an exam which is not easy as I expected. But it won’t decrease my mood for studying because I have another exam tomorrow! Criminal law is my favorite lecture about second year. Keep going!

3.18.17 - sorry for going for so long without posting anything on here! this is a recent bujo spread that i really ended up liking :’) this week has been a wild time and i’m just glad it’s over now.

04.10.21 || moshi moshi ! recently i have watched a ted talk on how to learn any language in six months by Chris Lonsdale. i took some notes from the video and i thought it would be great to share these with all of you. here are 7 actions for rapid language acquisition —

listen a lot! it's called brain soaking. you put yourself in a context where you're hearing tons and tons and tons of a language and it doesn't matter if you don't understand it or not. what matters is you're listening to the rhythms, to patterns that repeat.

focus on the meaning FIRST before the words, focus on the body languages!

start mixing! if you've got 10 verbs, 10 pronouns and 10 adjectives you can say 1000 different things. language is a creative process. it doesn't have to be perfect, just has to work. remember how babies communicate - “me hungry eat’’ learn language like a baby!

focus on the core! any language is high frequency content. in English, 1000 words cover 85% of anything you're ever gonna say in daily conversation.

get yourself a language parent! who's somebody interested in you as a person who will communicate with you essentially as an equal but pay attention to help you understand the message.

copy the face. if you can look at a native speaker and just observe how they use their face, let your unconscious mind absorb the rules, then you're gonna be able to pick it up.

“direct connect’’ to mental images. when you hear the word fire, you think of smoke you go into that imagery and you become more and more skilled at just connecting the new sounds to those images that you already have into that internal representation. you prolly heard of associating a picture or a drawing when you're learning a new word in your target language. it means the exact same thing.

realized i never said- i got in!!

i officially applied to grad school!!
