20.RANDOM FACT: In Chile people have something called "once", which can be translated as "eleven". It's called "once" because "Agua ardiente" has 11 letters. In the past when miners were working but wanted to sneak off for a sip of agua ardiente liquor they would say "let's go to take"𝐎𝐧𝐜𝐞" so their boss wouldn't know what they were up to, as time goes by it degenerates in a snack that take place something between 6 and 9 pm. Now we eat bread and drink coffee but it started as a code word.

Here you have my personal tips to learn English (could work with your target language too) in a more effective way. Some of them may be too obvious:

Watch series and movies in English with English subtitles until you're prepared enough to understand almost everything without them. You will acquire many grammar structures without consciously learning them.

Focus on fluency rather than on accuracy.

Follow English-speakers on your social media.

Read in English things that genuinely interest you so that the learning gets more meaningful.

Avoid memorising words without context.

Don't rely on translations too much, try to guess the meaning from the context. Think in English.

Read the lyrics while listening to an English song.

Quizlet is a great app to make flashcards and study vocabulary. However, instead of creating them with translations, do it with definitions and pictures.

Change your phone language to English.

When you're learning new vocabulary or structures, write down examples related to your life.

Write a diary in English.

And maybe the most important one: don't be afraid to talk, to communicate, to make mistakes. Don't worry about your accent. Forget about what other people may think about you. Keep trying and keep improving.

A BOOK, A BUJO, AND AN ART JOURNAL = the essentials

crazy to think we’re still pushing ourselves to get work done even during a global crisis

📜 revisiting a developmental psych essay to apply some feedback i recently received. today has been so busy, but i’ve been more mindful of each task and reminding myself how important it is to take it slow (no matter how overwhelming the to-do list is to begin with). i’ve realized that a lot of my work-related anxiety comes down to feeling like i’m racing against the clock. so once those worries start creeping up, i take a second to breathe deep and get a sip of water. it’s been changing the course of my days in the most positive of ways. i hope you are all having a safe wednesday!
