I’m the anon here. I’ve heard the stuff ceerosa mentions before about “learning rules is not helpful” but I’m sorry, I think this is a “not all brains work the same” thing, because while I’ve seen that be true for others it’s never been the case for me in language learning. And I’ve done immersion programs. Learning what the patterns are, like how articles change based on case in German or based on several different things including end of the word in Haitian Creole (seriously it’s so unintuitive) is how it stuck. Just having stuff thrown at me doesn’t help. I’m autistic, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a factor; the other people I know who’ve told me they’re similar are autistic. Autistic brains process enough stuff differently I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a factor.

But yeah, just to be clear: I’ve seen and read that research. It doesn’t change that it’s not actually true for me.

And the particular way Duolingo throws stuff at you doesn’t seem to work well for anyone, in my anecdotal experience

--

Well... I think we were talking about slightly different things.

Some students have a desire for there to be reasons for language to work how it does, and they mean reasons that make logical sense today, not just "It evolved from this other historical thing". If there's a word that's an exception, they want there to be a reason for that too that isn't "Sometimes there are exceptions, particularly among very common words. Here's a list."

And from that perspective, yeah, we need to curb that impulse because it's not helpful for how languages actually work.

But yes, the pure immersion, no explanation stuff you get with some programs is not that useful, and the research supports this. It's an idea based on a shallow understanding of how small children learn their first language rather than studying how adults acquire foreign ones.

I did a couple of famous summer language intensives, and the way they typically worked was that there was a bunch of memorization homework for the kinds of things that native speakers just say without thinking about it (e.g. "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Christmas" for Americans—there is no why, and there is no innovation, just this set phrase). We then did conversation drills, some free practice coming up with novel sentences, and listened to natural examples in most of the day's classes...

But we had one class that was in English where they laid out the grammar patterns and such very clearly. If we'd been higher level, maybe they would have explained in the target language, but we weren't, so to get us ahead faster, this part was all in English.

Brains do vary, but I'm not sure they vary that much when it comes to these parts of language learning. Some people despise practicing speaking, for example, but they'll still improve more if they're forced to do these tasks they hate than if they do ~for text study~. Another learner who hates the task less might progress faster, but they're not a categorically different type of learner.

A bigger factor is that the really hard part with language study is staying excited about it and sticking with it, so if you enjoy one style of explanation or practice more, having more of it will make you actually stick around, and I'm sure that does vary a lot by learner.

Daily Check in - October 18th, 2023 🎀

Hello my lovelies <3

Here's a little update for today!! It feels nice to be posting again!

🩷 What I Ate Today -

Breakfast - southern style hashbrowns with ketchup, a cup of coffee

Pre Workout snack - one medium banana and a 3/4oz single serve cup of jiffy peanut butter, 1/4 scoop of preworkout (in water ofc)

Lunch - 1 large bowl of protein pasta w 2 slices of buttered bread, a coffee

Dinner - 1 bowl of spicy ramen with a small handful on shredded cheese

Snack - 1 bowl of mint chip ice cream

Extra - 3 cups of coffee TOTAL

Feels like a lot and I did go over my eating goal for the day but it is what it is, I had an emotionally rough day filled with a lot of crying, a therapy appointment, and a lot of calming down from my boyfriend over video call. Rough days happen, and I tend to let myself just feel the emotions in order to sleep easy and have a better next day!

🩷 Personal Accomplishments -

Made it to the gym, attempted a glute workout (left early due to frustration, lack of proerpr form, and to minimize risk of injury)

Wrote down everything I ate and my workouts in my new fitness and health journal

Showered

Did both morning and night skincare routines

journaled a little bit

brushed teeth

did a large load of laundry and put away all clean clothes

washed dishes

had a therapy appointment

cleaned up parts of room, put away new stuff

There were no academic accomplishments bit I am going to complete a good amount of homework before my cooking shift (for my cooking class) tomorrow. I've been trying to take it easy in a way that doesn't set me behind in my academics.

I broke down crying today with my boyfriend. I realized I've been feeling like such an imposter lately. Like I don't deserve all the good and all the accomplishments I've achieved. Like this life I'm living isn't real or this is the calm before some storm. I just feel so undeserving of everything. I feel inadequate, like I'm not good enough for a lot of thing. I feel like I'm perceived as this good daughter, good friend, good girlfriend, good employee, good student, good person but that it's not actually true? Though my boyfriend and my father have both reassured me that it is true and I am doing good. They've reminded me that I just need patience, discipline, and consistency in my habits and that everything is going to be and already is okay. I'm lucky to have such a loving boyfriend and such an awesome dad, too. The men in my life are the people I look up to most <3

🩷 Personal ToDos, Oct 19th -

morning + night skincare

morning cardio workout at the gym

read a chapter or two of a self help book

shower + brush teeth AM/PM

wash comforter + air dry

morning and night guided journal

morning stretching

Daily journal prompt

zoom call with boyfriend

sleep 6 to 8 hours

track all food and fitness in journal

complete 1 duolingo lesson

complete 1 busuu leson

complete 1 kanji review lesson

🩷 Academic ToDos, Oct 19th -

pre lab 8 quiz anatomy lab

lab 7 lab report anatomy lab

component 2 psyc class

nutrition chart: toddler nutrition class

quiz 10 psyc class

culinary nutrition ch 10 quiz

chapter 12 and 13 quiz nutrition class

My goal is to complete all of that between the time I wake up at 5am and 2pm with my morning routine, workout, meals, and getting ready for my cooking thing all in between. But I can do it, I'm not worried. I'll have the time to do it all! I just need to manage my time and not be on my phone as much.

I'm trying to get back into listening to podcasts and watching more producitve and healthy vlogs from youtubers I enjoy! I'm currently watching vlogs and content from Rebecca Jay, Michaela Bento, The Bliss Bean, LenaLifts, truly.jia, Study to Success, Lindie Botes (her earlier language videos), and Mikalya Mags. My favorite podcast is The 5AM Miracle: Healthy Productivity for High Acheivers by Jeff Sanders.

If you have any health, lifestyle, fitness, or productivity youtubers or podcast recommendations please comment them or inbox me so I can check them out!! I am always looking for new content to enjoy!!!

til next time lovelies 🩷

🎀30 Day Glow Up Challenge 🎀 - day five

♡ Mindset : Spring break has officially started!!!! I can’t wait for next week babes I finished all the homework I had to get done to have a relaxing spring break I still plan on studying for math during spring break but it’s because I want a 80 or higher on my next test. I switched my book to “Narcissistic Mothers” by Caroline Foster it’s an amazing book I definitely recommend reading if you have or are currently dealing with a narcissist parent or a toxic environment I love this author so much<3333

♡ Health : I ate so good today I have been struggling with my appetite and making myself eat. Ramadan has caused my body to not eat during the day but want to eat at night. As long as I get my daily calorie intake I’m happy. I did a glute focused Pilates workout girlssss when I tell you I felt it in my glute muscle I felt it in my glute muscle. I was done after that workout lol but I did my Pilates weighted arm workout anyway which has definitely been working because I’ve been seeing the results my arms are getting slimmer.

♡ Self Care : I had a bad day today so I pampered myself I took a nice long shower applying my favorite body products. I took time when doing my skincare routine. After I was done I air fried some potatoes, made peppermint tea, and I am spending my night watching “Law and Order Special Victims Unit.”

♡ Experience : I haven’t been on duolingo because I needed a little break I love duo but he can be very suffocating lol if you get the joke you get it. I wanted to write today but never got to so I’ll just work on some writing tomorrow<333

Tell me how you’re doing babes I would love to know my inbox and requests are open<33333

“It's fine. I didn't even like this shirt. (Sirius really liked this shirt.)”

i am legitimately shaking but i don’t know if this is important so i need to read it

please stop talking about throwing up

poor regulus i feel so bad

and hes throwing up again

i cant even think about this what if i just skim the rest

ok pov switch thank god

oh no i forgot remus has to go back…

sirius is so considerate

sirius is visiting james now

that was sweet. sad, but sweet.

remu ❤️‍🩹

can someone tell me why the rat is my 5th most used emoji

"You're so precious to me, did you know that?"

remus loves sirius (duh)

"You can trust that the only person I have an interest in seeing naked is your brother." 😭

this hallow drama is actually hilarious

reggie 💔

i’m scared that pandora is going to die in the future bc we have t seen any of her pov

this is so sad.

no thoughts just sadness.

“i’m collecting them all” i’m glad to see you making jokes reg

"Oh, this is just the bruise finally blooming from where I tripped and fell the moment I saw you,"

this was a lighter chapter but still sad

chapter 28

back to james pov

oh no a nightmare

CRAP I FORGOT ABT MY MATH HOMEWORK it was due yesterday but she hasn’t graded it yet so if i turn it in now she won’t take of points for it being late

math homework is finished! back to reading (suffering)

oh yeah. nightmare. ☹️

"I wasn't supposed to go through this," no james, you were not. i’m sad now (i have been sad)

james leave regulus aloneeee (don’t leave him alone)

shrodinger’s cat mention

“james”

i’m actually crying right now.

"I don't want to be a great, big tragedy anymore,"

baby

“it’s a parting gift” i’m crying again

regulus and remus friendship <3

“we broke up” “you were together?” 😭

oh no interview prep

evan mention 💔

every time i see the word hallow in this fic im like “i need to add this (hallow/hollow) to my list of homophones” and i never do bc im writing all my thoughts in my notes app and my homophones list is in a different folder than my marauders thoughts

chapter 29

oh me oh my hanky panky happening in this chapter i wonder for who

every time i call sex hanky panky i give myself the ick

"We broke up? This is news to me” james 😭

“No one needs romantic love to be fulfilled as a person. Not everyone wants it, and then there are those who aren't ready, and all of it is okay. That doesn't mean there's an absence of love, or that you're getting it wrong. You're not, Regulus, I promise."

they’re holding hands (but for sad reasons)

interview time i’m scared

remus pov !!

“i would not have known joy if i did not have the pleasure of knowing you”

ugh wolfstar. i love you.

😯 hanky panky

spine has been realigned

ok but any time any of them ever talk about getting off it just makes me think about one time when i was at a district choir concert and when we were practicing one of our songs the director said “there won’t be a dry seat in the audience” (he meant dry eye, bc the song was beautiful, but it just came out like everyone in the audience would dream their pants 😭) but. unnecessary story and it isn’t really that funny unless you were there but.

chapter 30 (?!)

evan 💔

god.

remus ‘reading’ sirius’ mind 😭

they have to say goodbye ☹️

barty mention!!!!

*singing* i just miss you and i just wish you were a better man

“i love you” eeeeeeeee

omg kissing

and it’s over.

“i don’t want to hurt you anymore” 💔

eeeee they’re kissing again

“it’ll take a while but later—much later—james will look back on this and wonder, sadly, if it was a parting gift, too.” WHAT

sirius kissing the mask so remus will always have a sirius kiss

i love pandora

wolfstar goodbye 💔

the fact that all of this happened in the span of two weeks

Studying for Fun

Ok, Girlies, Part of me was like “duh, Queenie, they know how to have fun;” but then I realise that what I actually needed to do was provide advice for structured fun- not to mention resources!! So, those are my two points for today.

Part 1: Structure

You know what your actual timetable looks like, but here’s a sample one that I’ve made that might help you add structure to your day

Now here’s how to actually do that

List out every single thing you HAVE to do in a week- work, studying etc, but also tidying, cleaning, what day is laundry day.

Make up a grid like this, or do a list of times, however you’d prefer. Fill in all the immovable things- work*,lectures- and then fill the moveable things- study time, exercise, travel time to your lectures- around them.

if you work shifts, you may need to do this weekly 3. Be realistic. Are you actually going to wake up at 5:00? Girl, are you not going to socials on Wednesday nights? Are you not going to need a little bit more time in bed on a Thursday morning? You know what makes sense for you. But also, can you realistically get all the things you need to do done if you wake up at 10 and go to bed by 6?

I’m using silly examples, but I think you get the point that you need to make sure you are working healthily for your lifestyle.

Let me know if you want a more in-depth tutorial on this!

Another idea that can really help for structure and discipline is parallel play … that’s a phrase usually thrown about in child development, but whatever…

Parallel play or body doubling is essentially two or more people working on two separate tasks, but in the same space.

study with your friends

Set goals with your friends

Call them and exercise together

Accountability buddies are how you keep up structure.

Part Two: resources

These are some of my favourite places to learn things

youtube

(Yes, I do like history, how did you guess?)

*i don't use duolingo anymore bc of the whole ai, staff layoff thing... but I thought I ought include it...

Here's some others!!

Ok I'm DONE!!

how do you actually like. learn languages with adhd? like in terms of "how do you stay focused" and "how do you stay invested/motivated for extended periods of time" and "how do you actually like. sit down to do* a study session?"

i know that immersion's good and all, but i find it really hard to just. sit there and watch [language] content when there's so much other stuff in my native language that's so much better and understandable.

with talking to ppl, i always feel like i gotta know enough to have a conversation in order to have a conversation, y'know? so i never end up having any conversations lol

when i've tried learning languages before i've almost always lost interest in it after a few weeks, and that kinda sucks. esp because half the time my interest shifts to a different language lmao

so yeah. advice?

*"to sit down to do" is a curious construction in my ideolect that means like. "to try to start doing"? it doesn't nesesserily mean physically sitting down, but does come from when i sit down to do maths homework or whatever and then actually start it two hours later, y'know? having the distinction between that and "to start" is useful lol

Immersion is really tough -- it's hard to feel invested in plot and characters if you hardly understand what people are saying...so here's a secret. Rewatch a show you love in English, in your target language dub. I'm listening to a fandub of "Welcome to Night Vale". It's really fun for me. I know that people go on about how it's better to learn from Original Native Content, but anything that keeps your interest is always better than nothing. And besides, there's a lot you can notice about the way they chose to translate things - it's fascinating!

Here's my super embarrassing language advice - I just daydream in Spanish. And a lot of the time, the spark of motivation to figure out a new bit of sentence structure is just me trying to figure out how to say a sentence in my internal monologue. I got hyperfixated on languages and sprinkled multilingualism into my mind soup. It sticks with me better when I learn grammar because I want to use it, rather than just sitting down to try and study something that's completely abstract. This actually works from pretty much any level. I think the sooner you use your target language like your native one, the better. Not sure if this would help but it might?

It's ok to learn in bursts. It's supposed to be fun, and a hobby. It's worth trying to fit your target language into your daily routine. I am a Duolingo guy, and I know it's not the best way to learn, but doing a little lesson everyday to keep up my stupid little streak can jumpstart me into studying properly. Or at least have me do a little bit of practice if nothing else, remind my brain that these languages exist, yknow.

Also, I have gained and lost interest in a LOT of languages - Korean, Swedish, Toki Poni, Dutch, I've gone on and off with Japanese a few times, and so many languages I just tried to learn for one day. And that's okay too! You don't need to become fluent just to enjoy learning a little bit about a language. :-)

I hope at least one part of this was helpful? I'm going to be honest, I wasn't sure how to answer this ask because even though you would assume it with me running a language blog and all, I'm not always a great student. At all. The amount I'm studying fluctuates a lot, and it's just something I've accepted. There's no rush, so just do whatever works for you, even if it's not "the most effective" way of doing it. Everything is progress, anyhow.

(also, the "sit down to do" thing makes perfect sense to me. And for the conversations thing.... yeah, I don't talk to people much either. I'm shy. So, I'm not sure how to help with that one.)

#I hope the mind soup is relatable rather than concerning #and I really hope at least something here helps #sorry it took so long to answer I was not sure what to say #I tend not to get asked for advice like this because it is also my weakness #langblr #language #language learning #asks #long post #Quinn posts

Jokingly said that I was "doing my homework" when I opened my laptop to go work on Hanafuda after having done my daily Japanese lesson, and that's kinda fun to think about. I'm giving myself homework to do, every day I have to do a Duolingo lesson, practice my vocabulary and hiragana in Anki, write a little bit on Hanafuda, and every week I need to go to at least one karate class. And it's fun! I actually enjoy this homework and I'll willingly do one more Duo lesson or sit down at my desk and draw hiragana in the elementary school workbook my sister gave me or go to the dojo for the second time in the week. I am going to get a good grade in hobbies, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve!

#the thing with karate is the dojo is open every day of the week so i can choose which day(s) i come in #i don't have a fixed date and time for The Weekly Karate Class #which means it's unfortunately easy to procrastinate my way out of doing any karate in a given week #personal

semester of studying: autumn🍁🍂✨

Not really a semester, probably just until half term but it’s an alliterative title so yk

Goals

- to always complete homework on time, and if not, then to at least do some of it and be honest about what I couldn’t do instead of skiving and/or lying lol

- to study an extra one hour a day, can include homework & frees or not- depends on the day.

In terms of studying during free periods, I’m 50/50, sometimes I’ll do homework or study, sometimes I’ll catch up with friends, sometimes I’ll do whatever (read, go home, etc)- depends on who else I’m sharing the frees with, how I’m feeling, and what homework is set.

- keep up my Duolingo streak for the entire half term, and begin studying Finnish again

- try and be in school for the days where I have lessons

or, better phrased:

- try not to miss school. PLEASE.

- and no skiving (unless I really need to lmao)

- catch up/get ahead on the Goodreads reading challenge

Do a bit of some non-screen hobby every day (read, listen to music, crochet, whatever)

Even if I don’t do all of these every day, because realistically I won’t, this is still a benchmark for what to do on good days

#sorry for the lack of autumnal pictures I’ll get there eventually I swear CROYEZ-MOI 🙏#khioniya’s🫐#a levels #100 days of getting better #100 days of productivity #100 days of studying #studying #alevels #studyblr #a levels 2025

2023.06.22 | day 45/100 days of productivity misc houseplants | 谁动了我的骨灰坛

completed today:

- mongolian exercises on the present participle forms of verbs and the usage of the genitive.

- finished the first chapter of the korean duolingo course—got a bit tripped up a couple of times because the romanisation for the hangul is a bit different than how i learnt it, but i managed it in the end!

- korean writing practice with the ttmik worksheets—i fall more and more in love with hangul every day honestly, it’s so easy to write for me and it’s a good visual stim because of how geometric and regular it is.

- chinese vocab writing practice—my practice sheets have less and less vocab on them each lesson because i don’t include vocab i’ve previously studied unless it’s a particularly complicated character. the repetitive nature of it takes me back to when i was in school as a kid writing entire pages of characters for homework :’)

- read a couple of dot units—i’ve also started playing the audio through after reading an article, which, what do you know, really helps me retain vocab. also, i had a little moment of joy when i realised that the 骨 in 骨头 is the same as in 骨灰坛—very logical when you consider that both are phrases about funerary-related things (bones and urns respectively).

- did TOFU maintenance and went over five new words.

to do:

- read some more—i didn’t get much done today, and i’d like to make more progress.

- kmj notes—i need to print out the next reading piece and go over it as well as the new grammar.

- read a couple more dot units.

Daily Check-in: October 5th, 2023 + Life Update 🎀

I swear I always disappear for a few days, lurk around the tumblr app, and then decide to give a random update. I really need to work on my consistency lol.

Anywho, life has been soooo busy. I've ben packing and preparing for my trip out to see my boyfriend tomorrow, trying to catch up on homework so I'm not super busy while I am with him this weekend, working like crazy because money is a necessity, and just keeping up with the day to day grind.

So, here's a mini update from yesterday, and yes I am still going to try to update while I'm with my man as I will still be doing homework and studying Japanese and what not.

🩷 Academic Achievments Past Few Days -

completed and passed culinary quiz

Turned in my actual spending budget from Septmeber

Finished an investing assignment

Worked on the draft for a research paper literature review thing I have to write for my psychology class (finishing it today!)

presented my mid term presentation in my culinary class and got complimented by the professor/chef

submitted a lactation nutrition chart fie ym nutrition class

completed my pre lab and lab report for tomorrow's anatomy lab

completed quiz chapter 6 for my psychology class

completed practical assignment and module quiz for my fitness for health and sport class

I've been pretty busy with school work. I catch up on a weekly basis, but of course, then more homework is released, and I feel like I get thrown back to square one. College life, yay!

🩷 Personal Acheivements Past Few Days -

kept up with skincare routine

packed for trip

journaled a few times

went to the gym for the first time since February (just walked the treadmill but it's a start!)

kept up with medical appointments

did my laundry yesterday

kept up with my duolingo and busuu streaks

regained motivation for studying Japanese

I feel like I haven't done as much for myself personally but at the same time like I have? I am a bit upset with myself. I have a meeting with my Dietetian Mentor (#1) and in the last 3 weeks since we last spoke, I haven't done anything from what she had asked because I've been so busy. I've had 2 panic attacks, extreme exhaustion, and worked 3 doubles at my job since I last spoke to her. However, I am planning on working on some of her stuff this weekend while I'll have the time, so hopefully she isn't upset and can understand my position? She seems really nice so fingers crossed.

🩷 Academic ToDo For Today -

write up restaurant field trip report for culinary class

weekly meal writing for culinary class

complete my component one for my psychology class

take my lab exam one for anatomy

duolingo + busuu for Japanese

gather my necessary materials for completing the rest of my homework this weekend

🩷 Personal ToDo For Today -

put away clean laundry

wash sheets + pillowcases + towels

take out bedroom + bathroom trash

sweep bedroom really good

scrub toilet and wipe down counter + sink in bathroom

check in to the flight app to get my boarding pass for tomorrow

therapy

meet with RD Mentor #1

morning journal

skincare morning + night

redye the pink in my hair

finish packing tonight

a lot of things to do today to prepare for this weekend. but it will all be worth it once I get to see my boyfriend.

thats all for today!

til next time lovelies 🩷

Week 5 Overview

Hello hello! My weekly overview post is late because we lost power and internet for most of the past few days. Classes yesterday were also excused for the same reason, so I got an impromptu four day week/three day weekend, which was nice. I'm happy to say I spent much of my off time studying and cementing vocab and grammar concepts into my head.

Week 5 started out tough because I didn't memorize enough of the week's vocab in time, but it evened out near the end, and I'm pretty much back on top of everything now.

Successes this week:

Got a passing grade on the lexical (lexicals aren't graded anyway, they're just pre-quiz vocab quizzes, but if you get less than a 75% on two in a row you get mandatory tutoring for a bit)

I didn't get my grade back for the actual vocab quiz but I think I did better on the quiz than on the lexical

I spent the last two days getting ahead on written homework, so now the only homework I have to worry about for the next few days is stuff that requires a computer

I also spent the last two days learning the next lesson's vocab, so I'm actually ready for this week!

Things I need to work on:

I definitely know now not to let myself get away with knowing anything less than 100% of the vocab words before the week starts. Lesson learned!

In general still need to get better at speaking

Plans for the weekend, or what's left of it (dude I had so many good plans for the weekend, but most of them required a computer so I couldn't do them with the power outage):

Get back to Duolingo, specifically on the computer, to get better at typing in Russian

I ordered sheet magnets online and I wanna type up all my vocab words and cut them out to make refrigerator magnets of them. Idk I just thought it was a nice little idea

Record myself reading from the Russian Harry Potter book I have every day to track progress on speaking/reading aloud. Also thought that would be a nice little idea.

Do the parts of my homework that require Wifi lol

Hopefully the power and wifi actually stay on (it's been on and off, mostly off, the whole time). It was actually kind of nice, though-- I got a lot done in terms of studying, and I also made some progress on a drawing. And it kind of brought the whole base together. And it just plain gave some great spooky vibes at night when everything was dark. Idk it was fun.

All in all: this week started out mediocre because I wasn't prepared enough, but ended pretty well. I think week six is gonna start well too!

Language Learning Log 2022 Week 35 (29/08 - 04/09)

Banner photo: I went to visit my mum on Tuesday and we went out for lunch. Normally I don’t get dessert, but I didn’t eat a lot at lunch, so I treated myself to a tiramisu-inspired ice cream sundae. I didn’t think it was going to be quite so enormous!

Norwegian

2x italki lessons (120m)

Watched 1x Mummidalen episode

Listened to 2x Ekko podcasts

Watched Kveldsnytt x1

Read 1x article

Japanese

3x italki lessons (120m)

Duolingo

Homework

I’ve been very busy this week with prepping the house for the estate agent’s visit on Wednesday, so I’ve barely had time to study. It’s very exciting that we’re finally getting out of this house, but man it’s a lot of work getting it ready to sell! The thing is, I feel like I’ve barely even touched on the amount of work that needs doing 😖 I have this afternoon and evening, all day tomorrow and Wednesday morning to try and get this house into shape! And then of course Thursday/Friday/Saturday I’ll be teaching/lesson planning, plus I’ve got a birthday party to go to on Saturday evening, and on Sunday I’ll be training/teaching hoop and lesson prepping... so no rest for me until next Tuesday 😵

I’m trying out a new Norwegian italki tutor again this coming week. I’ve tried a few different ones recently and they’ve been okay but like one of them I said I want to talk about these Bergenstest topics and she just... didn’t (it wasn’t unpleasant talking to her but I had a specific request and she kinda ignored it really). And the other one is great bc he actually gives me corrections that a lot of teachers don’t, but it bothers me that he corrects literally everything and then sends me entire grammar breakdowns on things I maybe messed up once (like liten/lita/lite/lille/små, like dude I know that grammar I just don’t know genders when I speak). Not only that, but those entire grammar breakdowns are in English and I’m like. I do not want any English in my Norwegian lessons ever (unless it’s in a natural context, which happens fairly frequently in Norwegian). So, we’ll see what this new tutor’s like. I still have my main tutor of course, but I like talking to different people to keep things interesting.
