#language plans

New Year, new plans!

I really hope I’ll be able to reach most of my goals in 2022, especially those about Turkish and French. Wish me luck!

I also want to be more active here and on ig. I want to start a studygram account to help me with being more disciplined and committed to language learning

🌼 last semester at uni and new language plans 🌼

what changed in the last 6 months?

I feel more fluent speaking Russian and I can understand a lot, but I still have some problems with grammar and reading. where to put the stress is also a struggle. Russian is a part of my daily life now, I listen to Russian podcasts, watch videos in Russian or revise the old vocab

I work on my Turkish everyday. I try to read out loud when I can and I learn lots of new vocabulary. I also try to watch Turkish series and pick up the words I know from them

I failed with Yiddish, but I haven’t given up yet! I borrowed two great books from my uni library and I want to go through them this semester

I decided to wait with learning Spanish, French and Hebrew

for the next 3-4 months I decided to mainly focus on Russian, Lithuanian and Turkish. my side languages are German and Yiddish

russian: more reading, revising notes from classes, speaking to myself, journaling (??)

lithuanian: same old stuff + writing, revising notes from classes day after and day before

turkish: old notes, new textbook, watching shows with subtitles, reading out loud, practicing speaking with my boyfriend

german: reading, writing (journaling), grammar revision

yiddish: revising everything I’ve done so far + practicing reading and writing (if you’re learning yiddish too,don’t hesitate and write to me! I’ll be happy to have a partner); I will also try to post vocabulary lists at least twice a month

new semester has begun and I must think of how to organise my languages, so here are my plans and goals for the nearest semester:

english: more listening (podcasts, active listening to music, no subtitles while watching films or shows), working on pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary (slang and “serious” words!)

german: ditto, finding a conversation partner or attending language meetings in my city + duolingo

russian: pronunciation and grammar, revising the vocabulary, more reading and writing, active listening + duolingo

lithuanian: revising grammar and vocabulary (last two years), active listening

yiddish: revising everything I’ve done so far + practicing reading and writing (if you’re learning yiddish too,don’t hesitate and write to me! I’ll be happy to have a partner); my goal is to finish my textbook before spring and post notes on my tumblr

turkish: revising everything I did two years ago, working with my new textbook; my goal is to be able to answer basic questions and not to think too much while saying simple sentences, watching cartoons

hebrew, spanish, french: duolingo lessons, passive listening to podcasts/youtubers
