things i learnt regarding learning languages

recently i finished second stage of linguistic olympiad, which focuses on translating rare languages based on logical analysis, basically you don’t know the language but there is a logic rule you have to guess to translate things, yeah, its fun, now im waiting for the results of the second stage.

the thing is, after practicing, doing many problems from previous years, i found myself understanding languages’ rules easier. i’ve always been convinced that to learn language is not to learn the rules by heart, but to understand them, so here are my tips based on that:

1. native speakers are your best resource. some may disagree due to them often not being aware of certain grammar rules, but thats the point. learn the usage, not the rules. rules will come naturally to you when you analyse them for yourself based on using the language. 

2. ive been learning russian for almost 2 years now and my teacher has been focusing on remembering the rules, as if thats the best way to learn the language. so we didnt have much access to any context, not to mention poorly made textbooks. but now that ive become familiar with lots of usage, i dont need to stress about the rules, but base the grammar on previous, similiar contexts.

3. you dont need the rules unless youre majoring philology. for real, i understand that its not your native language, but whats so bad about treating it as one? learn it just like kids would. use it.

4. about using it, put yourself in native speaker’s position, change the language of your fav sites, talk to people even if you dont know much yet, stop stressing about grammar. imagine people talking to you without using cases, conjugations - youre still gonna understand them, so why not start with that yourself?

summary:

- analyse the grammar yourself instead of learning written rules (thats also gonna make you remember it better)

- vocabulary > grammar

- make friends with native speakers

- embarass yourself, make mistakes, talk bullshit - its all a way to success

Italian conjugation patterns #2

The Imperfect Tense of regular verbs

The imperfect tense (imperfetto) is one several past tenses in Italian. We use it mainly to talk about habitual, repetitive, or continuous/durative actions in the past, and to describe what a person or thing used to do. Here are some examples sentences to help you understand how it’s used:

quando ero bambino andavo a scuola tutti i giorni (when I was a child I went/used to go to school every day)

I’m using ero and andavo because I used to be a child and I used to go to school everyday. The actions in question are habitual, repetitive and durative.

mia nonna andava sempre in chiesa (my grandmother used to always go to church)

I’m using andava here because the action of going to church was repetitive and habitual (“sempre”); it wasn’t just one time.

ieri pioveva (it was raining yesterday)

Here, pioveva implies that it was raining for a long time.

Now that we’ve seen when the imperfect tense is used, let’s see how to conjugate regular verbs. Again, all you have to do is remove the infinitive ending (-are, -ere, -ire) from a verb and append one of the following endings to what is known as the stem of the verb.

Regular -are verbs take the following endings:

Similarly, regular -ere verbs take the following endings:

Finally, regular -ire verbs take the following endings:

Note: 1st and 2nd person plural, unlike all other grammatical persons, always carry the stress on the -a- following the thematic vowel; eg. cantavamo, sentivate, andavate.

Check my other post Italian conjugation pattern #1. Whereas if you want to learn how to conjugate essere and avere in both the present and imperfect tense, check my other post here.

1. Neosporin is really good for stretch marks.  (for people who dislike them but always know that there’s nothing wrong with having stretchmarks!) 2.  Clean rooms bring good energy. Open your blinds and turn some music on a get to work. You will feel great! 3. The first thing you should drink in the morning is water, nothing else. Try to drink three cups throughout the day. It not only helps you lose weight but clears your skin. 4.  Sometimes you just have to read certain shit and not respond, not everybody deserves to hear your answers. 5.  Face masks are great. Find whichever kind you think you’ll like best and put it on after you take a shower and just chill in bed. 6. Too much coconut oil clogs your pores. Use it wisely. 7.  Going to bed at a decent time is cool. Don’t let your phone distract you, the earlier the sleep the more energy you’ll have the next.  More sleep = more motivation to get your work done. just do it. 8.  Naps are good and sometimes it’s okay to not do that one page of homework and call it quits to get rest. 9.  If you hate just plain water and you can’t stand drinking it put lemons and other fruits in it. 10.  Water with lemon cleans your system out nicely and makes you urine more. 11.  Eight tracks is a good app for new music and playlist. If you haven’t used it try it. Music always makes things better. 12.  Keep your private life to yourself or else you will have to face other people’s ugly comments. 13. Try to read at least 5 books this year or more, especially if you don’t like reading. Reading benefits you in many ways, you will be proud. 14. If you have the time to get chores or homework done then do it, don’t tell yourself you’ll do it later.  15. Invest in good bath products, soaps and bath bombs and bath oils. they will do your skin wonders. 16. Invest in good hair products too, make sure you buy things for your hair type.  17. If you want to have sex then have sex and do you, forget the comments. Bring your own condoms if you must. 18. Be friends with who you want to be friends with. You don’t have to be friend everybody. 19. Always stick up for yourself, but if you are wrong and you are being told so, take time to think and accept it. 20. Keep an extra pair of panties, pads/tampons, chapstick and headphones on you just in case. 21. Cranberry juice, yogurt, pineapples, apple juice and just natural sweet things in general.. eat it. I hope you catch my drift. 22. Mens shaving cream works better than woman’s, it makes you skin softer and hair stays gone longer. 23. Men’s razors provide a closer shave. Invest in them. 24. Buying lingerie or pretty undergarments in general will make you feel so much more confident. 25. Sometimes it’s good to just listen to people talk and let them talk for the sake of you not arguing and loosing brain cells. 26. Everybody should take a bath a few times out of the week or months. Baths open your pores and yes showers are cool but baths are A1. 27.  Always put on lotion after you finish bathing too. You want your skin nice and smooth at all times. 28. Save your money. as soon as you get it the first thing you shouldn’t buy is food. buy things that will last and benefit you. 29. Mind your own business. Who cares about what the next person is doing? Just do you.  30. Organize your closet. 31. Always be nice to people who are always nice to you. 32. Compliment other people. It’s good to uplift anybody. If you think somebody’s shoes are cute just tell them. 33. Treat yourself to pasta and something nice to drink on Friday nights after a long week. Pasta makes everything better. 34. Just learn to love yourself and who you are as a person. 35. You have a right to feel whatever emotion you feel, don’t judge your emotions. 36. If you are sensitive and people bash you for it, don’t listen to their ignorant words. Sensitive people are usually emphatic. 37. Make a grocery list before you go shopping regardless of how lazy you are. 38. Take walks. If you feel bad and need to breathe, plug in your headphones and walk. They clear your mind. 39. Keep a journal and write in it whenever you feel as if you have nobody to speak to. It’s a good way to get rid of things inside. 40. If you’re confident and you think you are the shit then you keep doing that. Or fake it till you make it. 41. Embrace insults. If somebody calls you a name turn around and flip it. People hate to see you unbothered. 42. Try to use natural/organic and cruelty free skincare/haircare products. Limit nasty chemicals, it’s good for both you and the environment.

french resources masterpost

i don’t even know where to begin with french…i love learning languages so much, i really wish my parents had started me when i was younger. i started taking french in seventh grade but i really hope to spend a semester abroad in france & visit senegal when im older. however, french can get super crazy with accents and hard pronunciation and fancy vocab, which can get really confusing, so here’s a masterpost w all of the french resources i’ve gathered :) 

where to start

duolingo aka the most amazing free language learning program ever

rosetta stone- i’ve heard really great things about this program, but it is not free 

bonjour- this website is rlly helpful & even if you’re already in a french class like me, you can find lots of resources for when you’re confused :) plus it’s free!!

babbel- they have programs for beginners + advanced 

grammar + spell check

bonpatron-  grammer + spell check

languagetool- grammar + spell check

reverso- grammer + spellcheck

how to change the spellcheck language on word

dictionaries

collins

word reference (this is my personal favorite, i highly recommend it + it is so much better than google translate & much more reliable!!) 

larousse

linternaute

linguee (this one is probably my second favorite)

you can get word reference (free!!) on the app store, as well as linguee (which i think is free as well??)                               

phonology

french vs english phonology

french pronunciation for beginners

pronunciation chart

guide to french pronunciation

exercises you could try

+ more practice

the ultimate guide to french pronunciation w videos!!

10 pronunciations you won’t learn in school

ok so i just found out the other day that if you’re on flashcards on quizlet & you press the little speaker icon it will say the word for you!! this has been super helpful on my auditory quizzes + generally getting a feel for the pronunciation of words. but i wouldn’t say it’s too reliable so definitely check out these other resources (link to quizlet) 

grammar

passe compose help (past tense)

passe compose w/ avoir

passe compose w/ etre

passe compose practice (+ more)

imparfait vs passe compose 

a helpful post explaining imparfait vs passe compose

music

these are a few of my favorites:

stromae- hip hop//electronic but i still like his music

maitre gims- rapper but he sings quite a bit in his songs 

joyce jonathan- omg her songs are so cute please go listen

christophe mae-can we just talk about his song “tombe sous le charme” i love it + he sort of reminds me of jack johnson 

vianney!!- guys “je te deteste” is my favorite song on my french playlist right now. the sophomore that sits next to me in our french class recommended him to me & i can’t stop listening 

christine & the queens

also check out these links for more music:

universal music france

this post with french music recommendations

8tracks- french music

other stuff to listen to//watch

french youtubers

10 podcasts for french learners

the ten best tv shows to watch for french learners

ok don’t throw anything at me but watching peppa pig in french is actually a good method (i don’t remember who suggested this to me but thank you so much @ whoever it was) 

easy to understand french movies

news + culture

savoirs

euronews

1jour1actu

l’humanite

multilingual books

some blogs (not on tumblr) in french + about french culture (frenchcrazy, i learn french, oui, c’est ca, french together, fluentfrenchnow)

my tips

definitely keep a vocab notebook where you can either paste vocab lists or write them in on your own

listen to french music. find your own favorite artists. and tell me, so i can put them in here. but seriously, go do it & get those phrases + pronunciations stuck in your head!!

making quizlets for vocab will benefit you more than just using someone else’s

find friends in your class to help (if you’re in highschool, upperclassmen are a blessing pls go ask them questions if you’re lost in class), the senior that sits next to me is really good at conjugating, and i’m pretty good at remembering vocab so we make a great team

find/join a study group!! the freshman girls in my french class made a group chat & we all send links to quizlets/other resources & help each other with homework 24/7

ask questions/do speaking exercises during class. trust me, you will benefit from it. plus, having your teacher correct you on your pronunciation during class is much less embarrassing than getting an F on that speaking test

there are so many posts on how to not procrastinate, but not many about why you shouldn’t. although it seems sooo obvious, we still do it anyways, right? ;D so if you feel yourself getting off track, here’s a hUGE list of reasons why you should get your head back in the game !!

before we begin: these are just reasons why you shouldn’t procrastinate. they are meant to be motivators, not tips on how to beat procrastination – though there are some handy anti-procrastination masterposts linked at the bottom that may be more helpful for that!

you will regret it later. trust me.

if you’re losing sleep because you procrastinate: - it’s not good for your physical or mental health. you’ll be groggy and tired all day, and losing sleep makes you less happy. - it will take a toll on your performance in school. you won’t be able to concentrate or listen as well as you would with enough rest. - losing sleep also affects your appearance (and who doesn’t want to look nice?) – it contributes to obesity, pimples, and can totally give you that gorgeous “bloodshot eyes” look. - from personal experience: it will alter your sleeping schedule and that messes a looott of stuff up. if you sleep late once, your body will want to sleep at that same time AGAIN the next night. and the next. and suddenly, you’ve slept at 2am every day the whole week. yikes. - lesson of the day: sleep! is! important! ++ because i’m feeling generous, here are some great posts about getting better rest: overstudies’ tips for getting better rest by @overstudies  time to sleep. by @ofminervas sleep? sleep. by @studygene getting a good night’s sleep by @highschoolering   tips for balancing sleep and education by @brbimstudying  tips & tricks on getting enough sleep by @studyvet

if you think you’re not suffering because of your procrastination: - a lot of people procrastinate by doing other things they have to do. this is what i call “productive procrastination”. but it also means your prioritizing skills are getting worse, and you’re going to be constantly stressed out by last minute work. - some people (like me, whoops) often get away with procrastination and start to just “wing it” every time. procrastination is a habit. if you do it once, and you get away with it, you start to think you can do it more and more. just avoid it!!! - just think of all the things you could be doing if you just got everything done ahead of time. instead of spending every day scrambling to finish up work, you could relax and focus on your hobbies! - apparently, procrastinating will make your performance on assignments (and presumably, tests) worse as well. you could get better grades just by not procrastinating! (source) - procrastination = stress stress = unhappy, hair-pulling, tears, lower grades than you hoped for, getting easily irritated at other people, very very icky

my reasons to not procrastinate: - because W H Y !?!? - procrastinating a lot means you can’t work ahead. although you don’t have to work ahead to get good grades or be a good student, it will definitely help in the long run. - if you procrastinate on your homework, you tend to rush things and probably won’t remember a lot of it later. not so handy for test prep. - i tend to play the blame game when i procrastinate ( “if that hadn’t happened, i wouldn’t have procrastinated!” “but you kept on saying i should do this, so i did that and forgot to do this!” etc. ) and later i always feel icky about it. procrastinating generally leaves me in a bad mood. - if you get too used to procrastinating, you’ll procrastinate on the important stuff that actually matters. it may be okay to procrastinate on a teeny homework assignment, but if you last-minute your college applications… - because you! are! better! than! that!
