✩ I’m back to uni again! I think I’m finally finding a good rhythm here! Although, sometimes it’s easy to fall into a habit of procrastination but the Forest App is keeping me in check (not spons. 🤪).  ✩ After writing these notes, I volunteered to face a simulated grieving patient! It was my first time taking a proper medical history too. But after I got over my heart beating like crazy, it was actually a lot of fun and much better than I thought. So here’s a cheesy reminder:

Frauenrechte und Gleichberechtigung deutsche Vokabeln

Hallo German Study Buddies, I recently completed a topic about Gleichberechtigung zwischen Frauen und Männern (Equality between women and men) and I thought I would share some vocabulary.

This has honestly been the most interesting topic I’ve learnt about in German because I actually got to gain a deeper insight into the oppression of women in developing countries, whilst expanding my German vocabulary to be able to talk about these deep and contemporary issues! 

Enjoy!

Zitat / Quote : Bildung für Frauen bedeutet es wird mit der Menschheit aufwärts gehen. 

Nouns: der Ehrenmord – the honour killing der Aktivist / die Aktivistin – the activist der Mangel an Bildung – the lack of education der Respekt vor Frauen – the respect for women der Sexismus – the sexism die Gleichberechtigung – the equality die Ermächtigung – the empowerment die Diskriminierung gegen Frauen – the discrimination against women die Kinderbetreuung – the care of children die Vergewaltigung – the rape die häusliche Gewalt – the domestic violence die sexistische Einstellung – the sexist attitude die Gewalt gegen Mädchen – the violence against girls die Zwangsehe – the arranged marriage die Ehre – the honour die Unterdrückung – the oppression die klassische Rollenverteilung – the classic sharing of roles die abfälligen Kommentare – the derogatory comments die Aufstiegschancen – the opportunities to be promoted die Mutterrolle – the role as a mother die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf – the compatibility of family and a career das Frauenrecht – the woman’s right das heikle Thema – a controversial topic das veraltete Rollenbild – the old stereotype das Recht auf Bildung – the right for education 

Adjetives: empörend – outrageous   drigend – urgent  grausam – cruel  alarmierend – alarming  engstirnig – narrow-minded  bedenklich – worrying / questionable  gleichberechtigt – equal der unterschwillige Sexismus – the subtle sexism 

Phrases: Es muss aufhören – it needs to stop mit gutem Beispiel vorangehen – to lead with a good example gegen ihren Willen – against their will   

Sentences / Quotes: Bildung ist der einzige Weg aus der Dunkelheit – education is the only way out of the darkness  Das Rollenbild, das Frauen vor allem verantwortlich nur für die Familie und Kinder, muss noch weiter in der Zukunft überdacht werden – The stereotype that women are responsible above all for the family and the children, needs to be reconsidered in the future. Frauen werden wie Menschen zweiter Klasse behandelt. – Women are treated like second class citizens   Frauen sind genau so geeignet. – Women are just as equiped Frauen werden als Objekte betrachtet. – Women are objectified Frauen werden wertgeschätzt. – Women are valued Frauen werden unterschätzt. – Women are undervalued Frauen könnten neben der Kinderbetreuung eine Karriere schaffen - Women could also have a career alongside taking care of children Wir müssen Leute ermutigen, mehr zu tun und engagierter zu sein. - We need to encourage people to do more and be more engaged

10.02.20 | First Weeks of Med School Notes & Tik Tok ✎

✎ Did I really just make a Tik Tok? ooppsss....I guess I did. It’s mainly for aesthetics and my notes! You guys can follow me here: https://www.tiktok.com/@byaliciagrace or under the username @byaliciagrace​ (make me Charli D’amelio worthy? and Tik Tok famous?...jks, I’m only on here for the fun of making videos) 

✎ Here are some notes I’ve taken in the first few weeks at my university online *cough* Zoom *cough*. It’s been a good few weeks, I’ve called my friends many times, had some tutors with questionable technology skills (love them though <3 ) and enjoyed many cups of morning coffee in the comfort of my bed. So grateful that I’ve had the opportunity to work and study online. 

♡♡♡Comment below your Tik Tok username or DM me your profiles, I’d love to follow you guys and find more content. Sending everyone heaps of love. ♡♡♡♡

a Linguist (almost) , a Bullet Journaler & a Bibliophile

Hallo! 你好！Hello!

I’m Alicia (from @byaliciagrace on Instagram) ! I am finally going to begin using my Tumblr! It’s been something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time but have never really gotten the motivation or knowledge to do so! But I’m back in the game. 😆

I wanted to dedicate this blog as a little diary or a blr for my studying. A little bit about me: I love languages. It’s a love I didn’t realise I had since the beginning of this year. I’ve been learning German for about 4 years, Chinese for almost all my life and Cantonese as well. My native language is English (natürlich- this whole post is in English).

I want it to make it a goal to speak German somewhat fluently at the end of two years. At the moment, my German is a bit broken- I can probably speak broken German but I know about 80% of the grammar. However, this is what this space is for. I want to document my learning and help other German learners out there. I want to meet more native-language German speakers and grow my learning here! I also practice Chinese and Cantonese and I would love to share my advice and learning-tips for these two languages!

I have always loved Chinese because my family’s ancestors come from China and I think it’s such a pretty language. Every character is a painting and every word and phrase has so much meaning behind it. Similarly, German has a language I’ve always enjoyed. It’s nice learning something so different to Chinese and Cantonese, it’s like a fresh splash of water under the hot sun. I hope that one day I can speak it fluently. I have no background in German and to be the first one in my family to speak German, that would be an amazing achievement.

Okay, enough rambling… this Tumblr is for all the German and Chinese tips, vocab and tricks that I’ve learnt along the way, it’s a place for any other study tips I have and a place for me to share more bullet journaling photos. (I also have a bullet journal that I absolutely love) This will also be a mini place for me to share my love for books and reading!

DO you have a studyblr or langblr? I want to follow you all! PS: let me know if you know or are learning German! Let’s be study buddies!

That’s all! I’m signing off xx See you in my next post

Alicia
