it's my 8th year anniversary of being on langblr – or, of having this blog. The community changes, a lot of people left, new people came. People finished schools, got jobs, have less time for languages or for being online. But I still like being here. I like having a community of people who like learning languages, I like having people to turn to. The community is such a rare place where you can find so much knowledge you yourself don't have. I'm glad I'm still here.

Yes, I 100% use learning new languages as an excuse to rewatch my childhood favourite TV shows and movies. Because this way nobody is allowed to judge. It’s educational.

I think I just found my best idea yet for language learning.
I was listening to the German version of one of the songs from Tangled cause I needed the audio for a video on my TikTok and then I got the song stuck in my head. But not in English. Yet I still knew what everything meant.
I know Disney songs so well that I can use them to pick up on vocabulary in other languages.
How did I not think of this before?

Where exactly does one start when learning a new language? I’ve made 3 attempts since I was around 15 to learn German and given up every time. I honestly have no clue what to start with or where to go for resources. Every time I’ve tried to look for resources it’s for people who already know a lot more than I do. It feels like there’s no real resources for beginners.
The only other language I know aside from English is French and I don’t remember beginning to learn French. I was 9 years old when I started French in school and before that had been exposed to it my entire life through signs and packages since I live in Canada.
German however, I never had exposure to until I was around 14. I really want to learn it but I honestly have no clue where to start.

Daily Check-in: April 9, 2024 🎀
Tuesday was an odd day for me. Everything went fine, work went well, but for some reason by the end of the day, I was super upset about things, which was not what I had hoped to feel by the end of the day. But the day itself wasn't bad.
🩷 What I Accomplished:
listened to two podcast episodes in Spanish for passive input
typed up a detailed goals sheet
attended both classes for the day
worked an ~8 hour shift
studied chemistry
hit over 10k steps
began looking at how to fit exercise into my schedule/club pilates classes I could take
🩷 Good Things That Happened:
my supervisor and I knocked out a large catering order on time
talked to my dad on the phone for a bit
went to my psyc class, which I typically struggle to do
Realized studying the material from chemistry was actually helping me retain the information
got semi invited to go out after work some day soon with some work friends
🩷 What Could've Gone Better:
didn't get home until late cause work took forever
got weirdly emotional before falling asleep
super short zoom call with my boyfriend
did not study Spanish the way I wanted
was super tired all day
drank a coffee from a coffee shop on campus, and it messed up my stomach absolutely terribly (I need to stop buying coffee, my stomach can only handle the simple ones I make at home)
a co-worker was talking trash for no reason and was being super fake to my face, which was not fun because I thought him and I were cool with each other
🩷 Stuff To Do Tomorrow:
write psyc notes from lecture
study chemistry some more
decide final decision on declaring a 2nd major
double check my class schedule for next semester ( I register for classes tomorrow!!)
study my Spanish tasks that I didn't do Tuesday
keep boosting my depop shop (woke up to my first sold item this morning!)
cook dinner after lab
yeah, there's probably more that happened on Tuesday. Both good and bad, but I have no idea what it would be. I was so tired when I got home that I just forgot everything. I've got some weird memory issues. here's to tomorrow being better, hopefully!
til next time lovelies 🩷
p.s - check out my depop shop, still uploading need listings as I can! 💗

Hey could share some tips abt learning new Lang you seem to have good grasp by now and I m willing to start Korean so maybe some advice would really help I g.
Have a grt day :))
I would love to! My advice won't be too structured so please bear with me 😭💕
New Script
First things first your target language has a different script. Since you've written your ask in English I understand that you're familiar with the Roman script. Please understand this, when you're learning a language and it has a script you're not familiar with, drop everything and familiarise yourself with the script first. A lot of students tend to develop a tendency of relying upon the script they already know to be able to read the text of their target language(hereinafter mentioned as TL). I'm in my third year of studying Japanese. Japanese has 3 scripts. Students who didn't familiarise themselves with the Japanese scripts still rely on writing the pronunciations of words in English. The learning of the Korean script is not just limited to memorising the letters, but as far as I can remember, the positions of the letters also matter. Essentially, you need to know the script like the back of your hand. Since the Korean language has gained a lot of traction in the past few years, there are now a number of apps for you to practice writing the script and provides flashcards for you to retain the script.
Gather Study Material/Make a Study Plan
If you're planning on self studying, do extensive research, on YouTube, Tumblr, find other people who are learning the same TL as you are, ask them what resources they use. As far as a beginner is concerned, most platforms provide basic learning material for free. If you need to get a basic framework or a goal to work towards, look for the proficiency test of your language and if it is conducted in your country. For Korean it would be the TOPIK test if I'm not wrong. The lowest level is 1, highest 5. Jot down the syllabus or print it. And start researching on gathering the material to cover that syllabus. This way you won't feel like you're arbitrarily studying whatever you can get your hands on. It'll give you a goal to work towards. For TOPIK level 1, I believe you'll easily find free resources online.
Understanding Sentence Structure
Grammar structure that is whether your TL is a Subject+Object+Verb(eg. Japanese, Hindi, Korean) or a Subject+Verb+Object(eg. English, Chinese). If you already happen to know a language that has the same sentence structure as your TL, take that language as your base language to learn the TL.
Input vs Output
When you're learning a new language, there's two things happening. One is Input, the other is your Output. Input would include reading and listening and output would be writing and speaking. Please understand that it might be a while before you can fluently create output. When you're starting out, a great amount of input is needed to "create" output in your TL. And by create I mean being able to create sentences in your TL as opposed to creating a sentence in your native language and then translating it to your TL. Being able to intuitively, effortlessly create sentences, or think in a new language takes a LOT of input. Think of how long it takes babies to speak because they don't have a base language from which they can translate. They gather input for such a long time before they can string two words together. So don't feel disheartened when you sit down to write something in your TL but words just won't come to you. It's fine. Put your focus into gathering a lot of input.
Kind of Input to Look For
An important thing to consider when you're in your quest for gathering input, is to gather such input as would be useful to your level of understanding of the TL. Imagine if a lawyer started talking to a baby to increase the vocab capacity of the baby. it won't work. Find materials suited to your level. If you're a beginner read children's books, watch children's cartoons. The good thing about being an adult is that we can learn faster than a baby, so naturally we might progress on to intermediate level more easily than a kid but that doesn't mean we can skip the part where we have to read kid's books.
Overcoming the Intermediate Level Boredom/Lack of Motivation
The true problem arises when we're at a lower intermediate level. So now we know more than just the basics, but not enough to be able to understand our favourite shows or read the novels or comics we'd like to read. The solution is to remind yourself again, that lower intermediate level requires reading and listening to content of that very level. This is the one place I've seen so many students give up because language does get progressively harder from here. And most people who are relying purely on studying grammar and cramming vocab from a boring list tend to feel super burnt out. The solution is to read and especially read fiction. Fiction will naturally create interest in finding out what a particular word means. I've never managed to learn vocab from a list. It's tedious, boring and I always run the risk of ending up hating my TL. So read, and always read the stories suited to your level of understanding.
Same goes for listening. Immerse yourself in podcasts, youtube channels of your TL. Again at the level that suits you. Being able to understand something in your TL gives a confidence boost and motivates you to study more to be able to understand even more complex grammar, which is why I'm focusing so much on gathering input that is suited to your level of understanding of the TL.
This got a bit too long than I had planned😅 I hope this helps. I might add something later on. I'd love it if other langblrs would like to add to this.
Learning a new language is soooo exciting but you must MUST know that it requires a tremendous amount of patience. When you're starting out and feel frustrated that you're still not able to understand movies or books in your target language, remind yourself that you're the equivalent of a 6-7 year old student when you're studying the language and be kind to yourself as you would be to a kid. I hope I was able to help you out, sending all the love for your language learning journey💕

I feel moderately dumb doing kids worksheets (especially with how many tries this took me for how simple it is…) but I know logically I have to start somewhere.
I don’t enjoy the feeling dumber than a toddler part though.
