I've been seeing the: "Cillian Murphy learned '30,000 words of Dutch' over a weekend for 'Oppenheimer'" quite a bit over on #langtwt and I just want to say--even IF this was true (and that's a MASSIVE "if"), 'learning' is not the same as 'retaining'. Cramming for a test is the best way to forget the information once the test is over. And we're in this for the long haul. 💪 Don't be discouraged, you got this! Slow and steady. 😊

It's the best feeling getting to listen to the credit music all the way to the end, knowing I get to move on to a new episode tomorrow x'D

This iterative listening practice has been fun, but new episode days are such a treat, haha.

"I want to study my TL, but I don't know where to start!"

Quick tip on how to get organized in studying your target language(s):

Make goals! WHY are you learning the language? Get as specific as possible, not "fluent". Figure out long + short term goals. 🧵

🗣️ Speaking tips for language learners:
-Learn set phrases, especially common ones you use often. (Optionally switch out words to build new phrases. It's great for hammering in grammar!)
-Write. A lot. About whatever you want to talk about. Then read it out loud.
-Shadow/Repeat after native speakers. You can record yourself too to compare!
-Keep talking, even if you make mistakes! 💪

How to learn/retain new vocab: Use them! For flashcards, put them in sentences, ideally with audio/pics if you can. Write/Journal with them. Chat with others/native speakers using them. Read materials with that type of vocab. Anything where you put them into action. :) 💪

i'm having such a hard time concentrating. like i need to concentrate!! i'm behind on my reading right now!! #studytoot

Today:
- I'm in a lot of pain. My fever is going strong.

Questions for you guys:
- What do you guys do when you are unwell?

- Do you still study?
-- If so how do you power through it?
-- If not, do you take a break or is there something else you like to do instead?

I feel the urge to study languages but I feel like it's hard for me to concentrate on anything at all. It's making me feel very restless so I'd like to know about you guys.
