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 :)!

I can just imagine Elffie teaching Sirius how to cook and him not being able to stop smiling

she could fix me

I’m currently watching all the x-men movies, I’m on X-Men: First Class. And just a thought, Why the FUCK is wolverine everywhere

This is me I fear

they hate it when u serve whimsical unique quirky girl

This has ruined my day

I’m movie lovers🎬🎞️🎥

So me

maybe in another universe I don’t feel different

In the song “…ready of it” by Taylor Swift there a lyric that SCREAMS ahb “But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist and we'll move to an island” 😭😭😭😭😭😭I’m not ok

And this is why I kin him

Regulus Black doesn’t hold hands he holds arms. He clings on and squeezes tightly when he gets excited

Me just chilling knowing I’m the BIGGEST Peter Parker kin know to man

Realest shirt ever

As an introverted council kid I think Remus lupin would be aswell. As in he could keep his mouth shut and head down, he would be a tall skinny kid but man could he fight. He would be able to defend himself verbally and physically dispirit his appearance. Like I feel he’d be like one of those kids who cycle around the streets on in the skate parks and would be well known in the corner shops, would always have alcohol or cigarettes even if he was under aged (like in atyd).

-thank you for listening to my ted talk

Anyone wanna be sbg moots

I just finished reading School Bus Graveyard (I read it in the spam of 5 hours, but who cares) and me and my friend where talking about and she said that I was a mix of Ben and Ashlyn.

Someone tell me WTF she’s on. Idk if I should be offended or be happy

You just ripped my heart out, stomped on it and shoved it down my throat 😭😭😭😭😭

Will we always be brothers?

I need a fic like this

I was a bit hesitant to post these ones, but my patrones encouraged me to do it.

It's a slow burn guys, they cannot date when Regulus is still Harry's teacher, so bare with me on these two ♡

They gifted Reg a sketchbook, and James put a secret note all the way to the end ♡
