Keeping up your Languages when you’re Busy

Confession: I’ve been slacking on Japanese recently because my life has been so hectic recently. So here are some of the ways I’ve been trying to keep it in my brain when I can’t dedicate a lot of time to studying.

CHANGE YOUR PHONE LANGUAGE

This applies to computers as well! This is the easiest way to ensure you see at least some of your target language every day. It’s good for any level, even beginners.

If you haven’t already done this, do it now. I understand that some things are important and you need to be sure you understand them — in that case, you can always change individual apps to have different languages, just look up the app name in settings.

Podcasts/Music

Find some podcasts in your target language and listen to them before bed, during your commute, whatever. There are lots of podcasts made specifically for learners, or you can look up topics in your target language to find a podcast you might enjoy.

Music is also an amazing way to hear your target language being used. If you find an artist you like, that’s another good way to study your TL! Follow them on socials, look up interviews with them, etc.

Talk to Yourself

Any spare minute you have, talk to yourself in your target language. It doesn’t need to be out loud. You can have a conversation with yourself, try to express how you’re feeling, make up stories, or just describe the things around you in your target language. This is also a good way to see what kind of vocabulary you’re missing.

Apps

Duolingo has fired a ton of translators and started using crappy AI translations — so they’re probably not the best choice.

I’d recommend dictionary app that has some sort of flash card feature is also good, or an anki deck. Drops is good, and has a lot of languages, but keep in mind you’ll need audio. Anything that’s easy to get out and do for even just a few minutes is perfect.

Apps won’t teach you a language on their own, but doing a little every day helps remind me the language exists and keeps it in my mind.

Texting/Writing/Posting

Whether your friends know your TL or not, force them to experience it by randomly messaging in Japanese! Or, if you feel fancy, download an app like “HelloTalk”, “Tandem”, “Speaky”, “Tabee”…there are a lot.

If you keep a digital journal (like I do…inconsistently), try to write some entries in your TL.

If you have a blog, which I assume you do, post in your TL. Even if you’re a beginner, you can make a sideblog dedicated to saying stuff like “I’m hungry” and “Green is my favourite colour” in your target language.

Open your notes app and just write random words you can remember or sentences you can string together.

I know it’s really difficult, and don’t beat yourself up because you aren’t studying as hard. A language can be a lifelong companion — you’ll have phases of studying constantly, and sometimes it’ll take the back seat, but there’s no rush to learn it. Have a great day :)!

KAMEN RIDER GEATS

-One of the most recent of the Kamen rider series and a very cool epic one too! Awesome suits, great characters, a twisting turning plot and LOTS of action!

-

Premise: Unbeknownst to us, a secrect competition, THE DGP: THE DESIRE GRAND PRIX, is held where, everyday normal people are chosen, given transformation buckles and become Kamen Riders! Using various power up buckles, they compete against each other in various challenges, battling strange otherworldly invaders called the Jyamato! The one lasts to the end and wins the final challenge receives the grand prize: their greatest desire granted!

-Ace Ukiyo, aka Kamen Rider Geats, is the reigning champ, winning the Grand Prix multiple times in a row; however, his motives are not what they seem! Is he a hero or villain? How and why is he continuing to compete? What are the Jyamato? How is the DGP able to do what it does, and what is the true reason for the completion? You’ll have to check it out on TokuSatsu or Tubi to find out!

Today's listening practice included eavesdropping on office gossip 👀

For anyone out there who's enjoying Takeshita's G1 appearances and wants to see more of him in Japanese-style matches, I strongly recommend trying out Wrestle Universe, DDT's streaming service and app! Takeshita is currently signed to DDT, and he still makes appearances in that promotion.

If you go to the DDT section of Wrestle Universe, you can browse by wrestler, and see all of that wrestler's matches that are on Wrestle Universe. In Takeshita's case, that includes his matches in both AEW and DDT. Their archive of Takeshita's work includes matches from as far back as 2012, and from as recent as this month!

Wrestle Universe costs less than $10 a month, often offers free trials, and includes many other promotions in addition to DDT, so it's a really good deal. The streaming service is also very easy to navigate, has great video quality, and works very well overall. I highly recommend giving it a try!
