09.04.21 / sending you happy friday from my workspace. i hope you’ve had a lovely week ♡
Psychology notes
here are a few study tips on how to learn a new language 💻☺️:
1. start speaking as soon as possible. even when you haven’t learned too many words yet, the most important part of studying a language is not being afraid of using it. so download apps like hellotalk to get in touch with natives! of course, it’s even easier if you already have friends or family members speaking your target language.
2. study the most frequent words! there are tons of free so-called “frequency lists” online that prevent you from studying vocabulary you don’t need in the long run. with only 500 of the right words you could already have basic conversations!
3. get a lot of native exposure - through podcasts, videos and movies. there are so many recommendations on the internet, no matter what language you’re learning. the earlier you start immersing yourself in native material, even if it’s children’s books, the faster you’ll find yourself having fluent conversations!!
4. keep a weekly or daily diary to practice writing in your target language. even if it’s only composed of basic sentences, it’s the best way to use the vocabulary you’ve learned!
qotd: what language would you like to study next? i really look forward to studying Italian once I have a little bit more time!! 💕

The semester is almost over and now i have more time on my hands to read :”) which is great bcs i missed it, and its my favourite me time activity. How is everyone doing these days? <3
the best thing about language learning is that you don’t have to give up leisure time activities such as reading books or watching tv shows n you only have to switch that piece of media to your target language n you can enjoy it all the same while getting more necessary work done
hiya! wrapping up another horrible week but at this point im pretty used to it. uni is beautiful/horrible.
coffee, cupcakes and french lessons ✨
I love lectures that remind me why i wanted to be a psychology major in the first place.
So, today was a really productive day. I studied for more than 4 hours in a row, without considering the lectures that I had in the morning, there's my forest at the end of the post, it helps me to feel productive when I see the trees, someone else feels the same way?. Also, I started a future learn course about dementia today and I'm super excited about it. A miracle happened today, I had a psychoanalysis group test in which for the first time this semester my group help me to answer instead of being mute on the breakroom. In the other hand I didn't sleep too much last night but who cares, I'm proud of myself.
I hope every one of you is safe and have a nice day💫
