#studypolish

I’m Jay, formally known as Jam, and this is my first post! I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing, but when should that stop you?

I teeter dangerously between extroverted and introverted, so I’m super excited to meet new people (from behind a screen).

Most of my posts will probably look like this, but shorter. I enjoy writing, but nonfiction isn’t really my genre.

Jam Ingredients:

I’m in the process of moving to Poland. It has its ups and downs. Learning the language is definitely one of the reasons I started this blog. (*cough* I need a hug and moral support *cough*)

Every now and then I talk about Afrikaans. I’m a Heritage Speaker and it bothers me.

Eventually, I’m hoping to brush-up on my French. I was relatively fluent until I moved (again). It would be friggin’ fantastic if I could get my CEFLE.

Tea or coffee? Yes.

Sharks? They are the puppy-dogs of the sea.

Etymology? Yes, please!

Do you know your colors in Polish? 🌈 

Name the book challenge | Day 7 | Do you have any books you have to read for class (...)?

Studiowałam językoznawstwo i literaturę rosyjską, więc wiele moich książek to klasyczna literatura.

Oczywiście, bardzo lubię "Евгений Онегин" ("Eugeniusz Oniegin") Puszkina. Jestem też dużą fanką "Мастер и Маргарита" ("Mistrz i Małgorzata") i "Собачье сердце" ("Psie serce") Michaiła Bułhakowa. Jeśli nie masz czasu, jest stary, ale dobry film na YouTube. To są naprawdę stereotypowe, ale podobały mi się. Chciałabym je przeczytać w polskim.

Hi there!

I've been terribly dizzy today, so studying has been going very slowly. Every now and then I just need a break from Polish, so I've started my French studies again.

I'd really like to get my French out of the academic environment and back into the day-to-day grind.

I'd also love to get some recommendations on who to follow. I get a lot of inspiration from all you hard-working students out there!

Today was a hard day! I studied but nothing stuck. I'm also going through a heap of sadness not being able to meet up with people and socialise a bit.

Czuję się bardzo smutna, bo jestem sama. Wiem, że jestem też trochę dramatyczna. Anywho, ponieważ gramatyka polska mnie denerwuje, zdecydowałam spędzać kilka następnych dni oglądaniu polskiego filmów (that and some let's plays).

Hi there!

✨I hope you're having a great day and not letting the bastards get you down!✨

My focus has been better today, so there's something worth celebrating. I'm going to hopefully get a chance to write my movie review/summary (depends on how lazy I am) later on.

Name the book challenge | Day 5 | Time Machine:

I absolutely love reading sci-fi, so I'm incredibly surprised that I can't come up with any title. If someone has a recommendation, I'd be super excited to hear it.
