#snooze-studies

*gasp* the introduction post Hi! Hello, my name’s Sabrina, i’m 19 and this is me getting around to running an active study blog (it’s actually my 2nd time creating a studyblr, senior year kinda screwed up my plans the first time around). 

Can you believe i procrastinated writing this post for 4 years? yeah, i know. Though if that isn’t like half of me idk what is. The rest 50% could be summed up with ▫︎ books ▫︎ coffee ▫︎ stationery ▫︎ bullet journaling ▫︎ plants and ▫︎ music. 

I’m starting med school in October and i also enjoy learning languages, so this blog really is gonna be just a wild mix of everything from literature to biology. Original posts are (hopefully) coming soon :)

some less significant facts about yours truly:  ▫︎ i’m a fangirl and incurable perfectionist at heart ▫︎ will sacrifice self for a quality meme ▫︎ i rarely bother to capitalise my writing (it’s a miracle most of this post’s sentences begin with an uppercase letter, honestly)

that’s it, that’s the post guys, i’m tagging a few of my favourites below, i’m v excited to finally have this out there and hope to make new friends soon (i love meeting people so feel free to message me sometime:))

Thank you for the ask!! Sorry for the delayed response!!

Negentien: Is there any language you would like to learn but are intimidated by?

この間、ラングブラーの質問として、この質問をもらいました。

「自分が突然三つの言語をネーティブ的に話せば、どの言語を選びますか。」という質問でした。

その例えを考えたら、あ、なにか、日本語は勉強するのが好きで、日本語はアウトです。

中国語も今勉強して、まあ、今後の目標として頑張っていますので、中国語もアウトと考えています。

と、一応、スペイン語は長く勉強していますが、それでも、あの、ネーティブ的な自信を持っていませんので、スペイン語が上手に話しても、今話せても、多分、今すぐネーティブ的に話せたら、スペイン語も選びたいと思います。

と、あ、スペイン語以外は二つを選べようとしたら、多分・・どうしよう、あの、アラビア語はたくさんの種類がありますので、アラビア語が喋れば、まあ、とりあえず、そこからそれぞれの種類の勉強がやりやすいと思います。

と最後に、あの、モンゴリアにずっと生きたいと思っています。それともあの中国の西側にもずっと前から旅行しに生きたいと思っていますので、ロシア語を突然話せたらそれもいいなと思っています。

Ok, first off definitely Japanese. I'm studying that rn and its really great, just wish I could translate from English into Japanese better for my translation work.

Spanish would be super convenient to know fluently, especially cause I live in LA

ยี่สิบ: What initially inspired you to learn your current target language(s)?

Spanish goes WAY back. It’s technically apart of my culture (my mom is from Belize in Central America), but the language wasn’t passed onto my mom and her siblings. For me personally, I grew up watching Sesame Street and Celia Cruz would be on there a lot. It was fascinating for me as a toddler to see a woman who looked like me, speaking in a different language. So that’s how I knew I wanted to learn. I fully picked it up in my 2nd year of high school.

Korean is simpler. I began to fully follow Kpop in 2013 and the first thing I did was go “Hey, these artists, entertainers, etc, are constantly saying certain words (noona, hyung, oppa, unnie, sunbaenim) and I don’t know what they mean, I’ll google them”. As I delved into more music and Korean entertainment, I decided I needed to do the bare minimum and learn the language if I was going to be engaging the content as much as I was.

OMG THANK YOUUUU!!
