hiya! here’s ten fairly useful general language resources:

So I have a decent amount of experience jumping from language to language

(presumably in an attempt to become the master polygot of my dreams)

&! here’s a bunch of general resources that I’ve had stored on my laptop for ages now. You probably know a decent number of these, but hey! maybe you’ll find something helpful regardless:

Duolingo: Most everyone -whether they are a beginner in learning languages or an expert in multiple fields- has heard of it. Nevertheless, it’s a casual, yet informative source. While I wouldn’t recommend solely relying on Duolingo for your language learning, it is an enjoyable way to do so.

Compiled List of Duolingo Tips & Notes: An unofficial website that has complied the ‘Tips’ provided alongside each Duolingo lesson. Basically, it explains what each section contains, often providing vocabulary lists & grammar explanations. Can be extremely helpful in clarifying aspects of a language that one may not immediately understand, & overall, is well organized.

Unofficial Duolingo Stories: Duolingo has a ‘Stories’ feature, which allows one to learn appropriate grammar & vocabulary with the use of scenarios. However, out of all the languages offered, this feature is only present on a few of them. This website provides the same feature/scenarios for a variety of other languages. A great resource if you prefer a more interactive way of absorbing information.

Tinycards: Duolingo’s very own flashcard service. Vocabulary for your lessons may be present here, & this source can be a wonderful way to memorize if you prefer learning methods like spaced repetition.

Memrise: Similar to Duolingo, but offers a much larger variety of languages. It is especially helpful for vocabulary, but doesn’t delve into grammar as much.

Lingvist: Another source which focuses on vocabulary. Provides relevant vocabulary. Unfortunately, at the moment this source only offers five languages in total.

Mango Languages: A wonderful source that walks you through both grammar & vocabulary, with a large variety of languages, including ones that are more uncommon. Costs money, but there IS a free trial, so…

HelloTalk: Provides the ability to connect with native speakers of the language you are trying to learn, as well as others who are similarly learning the language.

Tandem: Similar to HelloTalk. You can meet people & further improve on your conversation skills.

LyricsTraining: You can learn vocabulary through music! You can find & select songs, & learn vocabulary from the lyrics. It’s presented like a game, & is generally quite fun to use, especially if you’re interested in music in different languages. Consists of a decent amount of popular languages.

I’ve attempted linking all the sources. Feel free to add some more, I’m always on the lookout for recommendations ≧◠‿◠≦✌

There’s a language I really want to start learning but I wanna do it like secretly you know? And then be like oups hello friends I speak this language now ;)))

That moment when you’ve been studying a language for months and all of a sudden it just…clicks

A little update...

Hi guys!

Lately, I’ve been busy bc school (sadly 😞), hence why I haven’t been updating this blog recently. But...I have a quizlet account where I’ll be updating the majority of the spanish vocab I’ve been learning.

Here’s the link: https://quizlet.com/x-172/folders/espanol

It isn’t much yet, but I hope this helps!!!

🌸 COLORS (색깔) saek-kkal

검색 - black 흰색 - white 희색 - gray 갈색 - brown 노란색 - yellow 주황색 - orange (or 오렌지색 which comes from the english word “orange”) 빨간색/붉은색 - red 녹색/초록색 - green 보라색 - purple 파란색 - blue 하늘색 - blue sky 분홍색 - pink (or 핀크색 which comed from the english word “pink”) 짙은… - dark /insert color/ 연한… - light /insert color/

⚠as u probably noticed, they all end with the same syllable : 색 “색” comes from chinese and means “color”! MOST of the time, you can remove the syllable “색” if the word is placed before a noun.

🌸 some examples on how you can use these words:

빨간 입슬 : red lips 분홍색 꽃 : pink flower 갈색 머리 : brown hair 파란 눈 : blue eyes 검은 차 : black car

♡ 가장 좋아하는 색깔이 뭐예요? -> what is your favorite color?

♡ 제가 좋아하는 색깔을 연한 녹색이에요 -> my favorite color is light green

♡ 저는 보라색을 좋아해요 -> i like purple

💭 now, what is YOUR favorite color?🤷 go ahead and let me know by quoting this post :) in korean obviously~

“병원을 지난 후에 오른쪽으로 가세요.“ - “Turn right after passing the hospital.”

the most awkward part of learning a language is when you are able to understand a sentence but you have no idea how to make that sentence

SLANG 대박~ awesome! Swag! 멘붕~mental breakdown (comes from 멘탈붕괴) 심쿵~sound of a settling heart. When something is cute 헐~ wow. (sarcastically) 훈훈하다~heart warming 훈남/훈녀~a heart warming guy (rather than good looking) 미남/미녀~a physically attractive guy 엄친아~mother’s friend’s son (abr. of 엄마의 친구의 아들) 행쇼~”peace” or be happy (“peace” as in “peace out” or bye. Comes from 행복하십쇼) 갑 vs 을~superior versus subordinate 알바~part time job (comes from 아르바이트) 개소리~ nonsense (literally: dog noise) 게거품 물다~ to be extremely angry (literally: foaming at the mouth like a crab) 까다~ to criticize

Ahhh. (°_°) so many slang words~ obviously there’s more, but let’s move on to texting.

TEXTING ㅇㅋ~ okay ㄱㄷ~ wait. (from 기다려주세요) ㅇㅇ~Informal yes (from 응) ㅎㅎ/ㅋㅋ/푸하하하~ laugh/laugh/evil laugh respectively ㄴ/ㄴㄴ~ no ㅎㅇ~ hi (from 하이) ㅇㄷ~ where? (From 어디?) ㅃ/ㅃㅃ/ㅃㅇ/ㅂㅂ/ㅂㅇetc.~ bye ㄱㅊ~ it’s okay (괜찮아) ㅈㅅ~ sorry (죄송해) ㅉㅉ~ tsk tsk ㅊㅋ~ congratulations (축하해) ㄱㅅ~ thank you (감사해) ㄷㄷ~ shivering noise ㄷㅊ~ shut up (닥쳐) ㅅㄱ~ “peace” (kind of similar to 행쇼 except more of a goodbye than a be happy) (수고해라/수고)

EMOTICONS ㅠㅠ/ㅜㅜ~ crying ^^/^-^ ~ smiling eyes ㅡㅡ ~ wth straight face. Like -_- orz/OTZ/OTL~ a dude kneeling over (I’ve known this for a very long time and I STILL read it as “orz” “O-T-Z” and “O-T-L” ㅎㅎ)

I hope this helped you guys understand any native texters that are texting you these weird things that you can’t understand. I suppose it is like an American texting a person learning English “lol wats up brah. U doin gud? Lolz k me 2” ㅎㅎ Anyway~ if someone texts you some weird thing that doesn’t translate on the translator or dictionary, chances are, it’s probably slang. Just ask that person to write it out as a full word, or give you the meaning in English. If not, it’s probably online!

행쇼! ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

🌧What’s in my pencil case?🌧 (part 1 of 2)

I thought I’d do one of these today, since my day is filled with doctors’ appointments and I don’t have time to do other productive things~

From top to bottom:

A 0.7 bic mechanical pencil (I won this by making the all-conference math team!)

0.5 Kokuyo Colorée mechanical pencil (blue)

0.5 Uni Jetstream ballpoint pen - black ink (sky blue). I unfortunately can’t get this to work but when it was working it was my writing utensil of choice!

0.5 Pilot Hi-Tec-C gel pen- black ink

Cess Hi-Basic Collection gridded ruler (this came in a sewing kit but it’s the perfect size for my bullet journal!)

Iconic Un Jour de Reve Pen Case (I feel so fancy using this tbh)

0.5 mechanical pencil lead + white eraser set (from Target)
