Pluto

Hi there! Sorry if it took me too long to answer, but this account is actually just to keep the resources I tagged, I don’t really use it. So, little update, I no longer study german nor italian because I’m doing my Erasmus now, so I dropped out the courses. 

I think I could do it because I wasn’t at the same level with the four languages. I’m more fluent in english (even if i’m forgetting it due to living in France, it’s more or less natural to me), then french, italian and lastly german. Once I knew and understood some of the french grammar, it was way easier to learn italian, which I barely needed to actively study. German was a nightmare, because i didn’t really have time for it and my teacher was awful (just 2/25 students did past the exam), but the best way for me was writing everything down and doing diagrams.

Hi! I’m receiving a few cute messages lately (sorry for not answering right away) and I’m getting many followers but I must say that I'm not really in Tumblr anymore. I keep the blog just in case I need any of the links or apps or advices I found here but nothing more.

I’m not really in any social media anymore. I'm in instagram, twitter and pinterest but if I post anything is in spanish so I don’t know if you are interested. The only one I’m really active is twitter anyway. I’m also in goodreads if you want to be friends! I go by Nerdferatum or Saru in there. 

Hi! Well the first thing I did was to make sure that people could see why i was in studyblr. What was I majoring in? Where I was from? Why I joined the studyblr community? And then I repeated the info in a tiny post explaining a little bit about myself. I also offered help to people who was studying spanish. 

I also recommend you to be clear and orginized with your tags so you can have easy access to the info. Look some blogs to follow. There are many that look pretty but other than that aren’t a great help. 

Talk to people!! Even if you feel weird about it, everyone is happy to make friends or at least to talk to someone who has the same interests. Post about your classes, about your life, about what makes you happy.

But the best advice i could give you is to learn from the people you follow. It will help you to feel more confortable with your blog and your posts.

Hi! I’m sorry if you waited too much for my answer, I’m not really active in tumblr anymore. 

I learned italian in some extra curricular classes so I’m not sure about studying on your own. Maybe you could contact some native speaker who could give you some lessons. I’m from Spain and many Erasmus students do things like this to earn some money or in exchange of language lessons. You can help them with your language and they can help ypu with theirs. 

I’m sure there’s also plenty of web pages where you could find grammatical explanations. In my experience, it is easier if you understand the grammar first and then you learn vocabulary on your own.

Although it is true that reading is helpful to learn, when you are starting it’s really frustrating, so i wouldn’t recommend that until later. Italians have pretty funny films tho, I think it’s better to start with commedy than any other genre.

You also have Quizlet. It was really useful for me and has a web page and an app.
