60 day challenge
inspired by this post, my friends and i are planning to do a 60 day challenge for the rest of the year, starting nov 1st!
i have opted for 7 habits, but not all of them will be daily (exercise, for example, will be three times a week, due to my schedule and physical condition!)
the habits i have chosen are:
read something in korean (i have a lot of korean novels that i never get around to because it's still kind of slow 🥲)
vacuum daily
gym: this is three times a week instead of daily! planning to monday, thursday and saturday/sunday because of my schedule
use at least one skin care product
vocab study: two new words in chinese, five new words in korean every day
read 10 pages of capital daily (if i do that i can finish the book this year!)
study some vietnamese every day (this is an extra, but i really want to finally get around to decently studying vietnamese!)
i think this might be somewhat challenging with all my regular uni commitments, but that's the point!

Chinese/Việt Langblr Introduction
Tumblr media
他们好!I'm Birdie or 梦晓 !
I've been studying Mandarin on and off for about 7 years. I started learning in middle school and had the opportunity to visit China during an exchange program in my teen years, and I've been in love with it ever since. I want to be able to be proficient enough to study Chinese media and books.
I picked up Vietnamese after meeting my lovely partner, who is an immigrant from Vietnam. Her language and culture is deeply tied to her, and I want to be able to share that with her. Not to mention their family only speaks Vietnamese, and I want to be able to make a connection and relationship with them without constantly relying on my partner to translate lol.
I'll be uploading mostly my notes and any culture topics that interest me. I'm also a children's librarian, so I may post about that as well!
I tag things by language and then grammar/vocab/culture! My personal posts will be tagged with #birdie+chirps

This blog is meant to be a place of passion for learning languages. A source of encouragement and positivity as well as a sense of community for those who use LingoDeer!
I created this blog because I am constantly trying to stay motivated and keep up my studies, so I kept searching for a discord dedicated to LingoDeer and found nothing, and the blog by the official LingoDeer creators only has 5 posts from 2019 ( and their tiktok is no longer active either! but I'm not that ambitious even though I want them to have all the love in the world ). I love the leader board feature and the ability to follow people but it feels a bit empty and lacking connection, so I hope through this blog and the discord server we can make up for that!
If you'd like study buddies, casual chats or competitive motivation, join the discord!
Thank you for reading, and for loving learning!
Please keep up your hard work and studies!
LingoDeer and I believe in you!

langblr introduction post !
hello everyone !
my name is bani, I've always wanted to be a polyglot, but only recently started working on it.
(I don't study many hours a day, nor am I willing to pay to learn too, I'm kinda casually learning.)
finally, the languages i'm learning are:
🇰🇷 - mainly bcuz of kpop n kdramas, but I also really like the writing system. I can read hangeul and have a small vocab, I'm currently learning grammar. (my Korean name is 이 지원).
🇹🇭 - i wasn't going to take it seriously but idk I got really into it recently lol, i also really like abugidas so... I'm still getting used to it's intonation, and I'm also learning the "alphabet". (ist tonal languages will kill me someday).
🇨🇳 - i like it because the grammar is simple, but I'm still kindergarten level lol. (my chinese name is 王晶 - I'm not sure if this name makes sense or sounds natural so I will happily take advice and constructive criticism !)
~
langs that I wanna learn but ain't studying rn:
🇫🇷, 🇻🇳, 🇷🇴, 🇷🇺 and 🇪🇸
also, i already know 🇧🇷 (natively) and 🇺🇲.

For anyone looking to learn Vietnamese, here is what I personally use:
🇻🇳
Apps
* Duolingo (yes, I said it. It's a good foundation.) Free -includes premium
* Drops (use topics that correlate with what you are already learning, good for retaining memory. Like flashcards but fun.) Free -includes premium
* Learn Vietnamese Speak, Listen (yes, that is the name of the app 😭. Really good for speaking/listening especially if you don't have anyone to practice with. Learn content that correlates with your Duo/Drops lessons.) Free -includes premium
Books
* Lonely Planet Vietnamese Dictionary (self explanatory, good for reference. Any dictionary works.) $$$ pricey / may be found in public library ✅
* Reading and Writing Vietnamese: A Workbook for Self-Study (found on Amazon here, covers basically everything needed for beginners) $$$ pricey
YouTube
* Tieng Viet Oi- Vietnamese Lessons (here)
* What the Pho (here)
* Vietglish Fun (here)
* Learn Vietnamese with Annie (here)
* Learn Vietnamese With SVFF (Southern Vietnamese. here)
Individual Video Recs:
*The Vietnamese Alphabet
*Vowel Pronunciation
* Vietnamese Tones
* Counting 1-10
* Travel Basics
* Accent Discrimination
Hope this helps. Vietnamese is hard, but I believe in you!!! 🇻🇳💖
Q: What helps you learn? Let me know!!

Most commonly spoken language in each country
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I had to separate the legend from the map because it would not have been legible otherwise. I am aware that the color distinctions are not always very clear, but there are only so many colors in the palette.
The legend is arranged in alphabetical order and languages are grouped by family (bullet points), with branches represented by numbers and followed by the color palette languages within them are colored in, as follows:
Afroasiatic
Chadic (Hausa) — ocher
Cushitic (Oromo and Somali) — light yellow-green
Semitic (from Arabic to Tigrinya) — yellow
Albanian — olive green
Armenian — mauve
Atlantic-Congo
Benue-Congo (from Chewa to Zulu) — blue-green
Senegambian (Fula and Wolof) — faded blue-green
Volta-Congo (Ewe and Mooré) — bright blue-green
Austroasiatic (Khmer and Vietnamese) — dark blue-purple
Austronesian
Eastern Malayo-Polynesian (from Fijian to Wallisian) — dark brown
Malayo-Polynesian (Palauan) — bright brown
Western Malayo-Polynesian (from Malagasy to Tagalog) — light brown
Eastern Sudanic (Dinka) — foral white
Hellenic (Greek) — black
Indo-European
Germanic (from Danish to Swedish) — light blue (creoles in medium/dark blue)
English-based creoles (from Antiguan and Barbudan to Vincentian Creole)
Indo-Aryan (from Bengali to Sinhala) — purple
Iranian (Persian) — gray
Romance (from Catalan to Spanish) — red (creoles in dark red)
French-based creoles (from Haitian Creole to Seychellois Creole)
Portuguese-based creoles (from Cape Verdean Creole to Papiamento)
Slavic — light green (from Bulgarian to Ukrainian)
Inuit (Greenlandic) — white
Japonic (Japanese) — blanched almond
Kartvelian (Georgian) — faded blue
Koreanic (Korean) — yellow-orange
Kra-Dai (Lao and Thai) — dark orange
Mande (from Bambara to Mandinka) — magenta/violet
Mongolic (Mongolian) — red-brown
Sino-Tibetan (Burmese, Chinese*, and Dzongkha) — pink
Turkic (from Azerbaijani to Uzbek) — dark green

How to find a language partner
Regardless of whether you're learning for fun, to boost your career, to get in touch with your culture, or for travel, you'll definitely need a language partner at some point, mainly for speaking practise.
You can repeat the same textbook dialogue all you want, but unless you actually practise what you learn with someone else, whether it's a native speaker, your grandmother or your classmate, achieving a near perfect or fluent level will be really difficult.
Here are my top suggestions for finding a language partner!
1. Your local language Institute
The German Geothe Institute, or the Mandarin Confucius Institute or any other Centre - they all usually hold mixers and get-to-knows, so attending one of their events is a great way of meeting fellow language learners and native speakers, who you can study with, and become friends with.
You don't necessarily need to be a member or a student of these organizations, but its always a good idea to check as different countries and regions may have their own specifications.
2. Use apps
Tandem, HelloTalk etc. Pretty decent way of meeting native speakers who want to learn your language, so it works out quite well.
The downside is that online platforms can be full of creepy people that will often derail the conversation into something unexpectedly inappropriate , so stay safe out there.
3. Your university or school clubs
Many unis have language or cultural clubs, so ask around to see if there's a club out there for your target learning language. You can learn quite a lot, and not just the language, but also about recepies, lesser known customs etc. Quite an amazing option, so try it out.
If not, chances are there might be a group in your city, so check out the Facebook groups. There's probably something out there.
4. Friend of a friend of a friend chain
That's the beauty of connections. Your friends cousin might be friends with a native speaker of the language you're learning, who's studying in the same city as you are.
Don't be afraid to reach out, or to ask your friend to pass along your request. If it doesn't work out, then hey. There are always going to be opportunities, so don't stress it.

I kind of want to learn (self teach) a language based on the most spoken language of some of my non-european genetic ancestry regions.
the only language remotely close to something i know would be Vietnamese since I've attempted East Asian languages before, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot of differences between it and Mandarin/Korean/Japanese

I'm translating Vietnamese songs to English
So I recently moved to Europe for my studies, and ever since, I've been feeling this need to share more about my Vietnamese heritage. I wanted to send my new international friends Vietnamese music, but there are no lyric translations (even when I found translations, they are not that good, or they are not complete). So I created a blog, translating my favourite Vietnamese songs to English.
I am not a professional translator. I simply want to share Vietnamese music, especially indie music, to more people.
If you are learning Vietnamese, or interested in Vietnamese music and their lyrics, check out my first post!

thoughts on modern language learning
I think I'm a bit of an oddball when it comes to modern language learning, because I still very much thrive on vocabulary lists. The "modern approach" to teaching languages is to teach from dialogue, but I end up far more confused than anything else. It feels like I'm learning random bits of vocabulary I can only connect in these specific connotations.
I would much rather be handed lists based on theme, learn them, and then go learn the rest from dialogue. It stops me from getting overwhelmed with a bunch of new and random vocab.
I think the modern approach works better when you have a teacher/are in a classroom setting, because they can supplement random words and phrases, explain, etc. But, when I'm self-taught, I find its overwhelming and difficult.
I've actually switched to focusing on fluent forever's first 625 and finding grammar from other resources for now.

Resource Recommendation!!
For any of my readers that are, well, readers (lol) have I got the app/website for you!
The app is called Langi, found at langi.app, and is like a Du Chinese or Chairman's Bao for Vietnamese (specifically the southern accent). Hopefully, some of my fellow polyglots know or are familiar with those apps, but for those who aren't, that's okay. They're apps that work as graded readers, categorized accordingly based on vocab and grammar difficulty. That's what Langi does, and it currently goes to B2 Vietnamese, which is considered upper-intermediate.
The pros and cons:
—Pros—
aesthetic & modern UI
multiple learning methods incorporated together (reading, listening, SRS flashcards, sentence forming, and dictation tests)
interesting stories (even for low beginners)
in the southern accent!!!
—Cons—
still in fairly early development (bugs expected)
SRS system still needs work (could use a habit tracker + notif system)
the listening practice is done by AI, so you don't always get the most authentic experience :/ but great for beginners.
Final Verdict:
It's a great resource, especially for a language and dialect that is quite lacking in material. I can't wait to see how it grows!
