To everyone learning a language, who is getting frustrated and impatient and maybe even thinking of quitting: remember how far you have come (not how far you have to go), remember why you started and remember how fantastic the end product will be. Learning a language is difficult and the journey can be long but it is rewarding and it opens so many doors. You are capable of doing this, you can do this… don’t quit now

Yesterday I studied for psychology in every type of way I could. I still don’t trust myself on this chapter. And today I was busy with this weeks assignments, so still didn’t study for psychology quiz yet.

I got 4 quizes for this week. I do not know how I am suppose to study when every day has a couple of essays due.

Guess my workspace is as messy as my head..

hey if ur reading this and ur in a bad spot mentally or anything i hope u feel better soon and have a good day

June is here!!!!!

26.03.2020 // we’ve moved online as i’m sure most universities have, gotta be honest i’m struggling a little at the moment with everything that’s going on but i’m trying to get into good study habits as much as i can 🥺 hope you’re all staying safe 🤍

Some people don’t understand and/or recognize the immense amount of strength it takes to pull yourself out of a dark place mentally. So if you did that and defeated depression, anxiety, or self-hate I’m so proud you.

I read a post that says, 'coffee is the most important meal of the day' and I could not agree more.

Ps. Working on my homework ♡

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!! 💕
