refold is a language learning method/community that is incredibly, incredibly popular in some language learning spaces. i haven't seen much on it here, and i really love their philosophy on comprehension.

[copied from their website.]

In general, comprehension tends to be domain-specific. For example, you might generally have around story-level comprehension when reading mystery novels, but around gist-level comprehension when watching the news. Further, even within a single domain, your comprehension will likely vary depending on the specific piece of content.

It’s completely normal for your comprehension to vary greatly from day-to-day or even hour-to-hour. It can even vary from episode to episode within the same TV show. Comprehension is affected by many factors, including your mood, energy level, and engagement in the content you’re consuming.

It’s also normal to occasionally feel like your comprehension has suddenly gotten worse. This is an illusion. As your comprehension increases, you become more aware of what you still don’t understand. This increased awareness of your ignorance is what causes the subjective experience of losing comprehension. It’s actually a good sign, not a bad one!

#langblr #refold #mixed feelings about refold method re demotivation #also their passive learning thing #but overall an excellent method!!!!! #and one to try if traditional courses aren't working for you #or if you're looking to increase your listening skills in general #they also have discords if you're looking for community!

Day 1 : 08.21.2023

Two of my friends from freshman Japanese class left to go study in Japan this last Saturday. They're going to be there until December 24th of this year. What the fuck!

I feel this profound jealously and also motivation to somehow be better at Japanese than them by the time they come back.

So with that newly found motivation, hello! Welcome to our first day!

So here's what today looks like, and what the next week should consist of generally:

WaniKani study

Anki cards

Grammar "Study" (30 min- 1 hour)

Active Immersion (1-2) hours

Ideally this will take me about 3-4 hours to complete, knowing me I'm likely to procrastinate a few days.

That's okay.

My main goal right now is getting used to immersion and starting a habit. I've done this day 1 bullshit like ten times now so I'm just gonna fucking go for it.

I'm thinking that for the first couple of weeks, I'll give daily updates if and when possible in an attempt to build my habit. When I feel confident that I will continue studying without updates, I will switch to a weekly update schedule. Then, once I get to a point where more noticeable differences happen over the course of months, rather than weeks, I'll switch to that format.

I will start studying ... NOW!

i have a semi-funny story? fact? occurrence? about happy holidays vs merry christmas. i have a few speech impediments but the most obvious ones are R lisps (cant pronounce Rs) and S lisps (cant pronounce Ss). so when the holiday season comes around, naturally, i say 'happy holidays' since there are no Rs and a single S which i can say fast enough that not many people notice. whenever i say happy holidays at work and someone gets all pissy about it, i pause everything im doing and say merry christmas and, of course, it does not sound at all how its supposed to. so i go 'wait hold on, lemme try again' and i will make them wait a full minute+ as i try to garble out a phrase. it gets even more funny (for me) when my stutter kicks in and it takes me 10 seconds to even START the word 'merry.' and its like, what are they gonna say? 'stop trying to say the thing i WANTED you to say?''nvm just say happy holidays?' they think if they comment on it, it'll make me feel bad, so theyre trapped until i decide they've learned their lesson. ive been doing this for the past 3 years at multiple jobs and i have no intention of stopping.

can we kiss???

Origami Patchouli, designed by Xiao Dai/zhangyifan_32, folded by me. 

1 uncut square of unryu paper, about 60 cm. 

I had fun with this one and am fairly happy with the result. 

#origami #paper folding #paper #paper art #origami art #touhou #patchouli knowledge #so I made more touhou origami #I still don't know what it's about #anyway had started with a more purple sheet in mind #but switched to this #because the purple paper ripped during precreasing #and I didn't wanna deal with that #the old paper was too crisp I guess #but this new sheet worked great! #I did shaping a little different #am still happy despite this #might want to use just double tissue on next project #but yeah #origami!!! #I just like all the fun features that the designer fit in #would consider refolding in the future

I had forgotten how delightfully meditative it is to flatten out a horribly scrunched up old sewing pattern. You really get to know something about the previous owner from what pieces they used, how they cut them out, how they stuffed it back into the envelope. Any time I see a pattern where most of the parts are cut except the facing I am like, we are both the same.

Except I would never just ball up the pattern pieces and violently shove them back into their envelope like a goddamn animal.

#this is genuine btw #I think I would hate to do it if I had to #but I am trying to get the ones I have bought in the last couple months in order #and there will always be a few that are just a hot mess #and I tell myself oh I will just pop the iron out and smooth out the envelopes so they go in the box safely #and then I inevitable end up fully ironing and refolding the patterns in 4 or 5 of them #and in return I get a nice tall glass of satisfaction dopamine

力一杯！

Hello! こんにちは！

I've done this so many times y'all. I admit, I'm a lazy ass person alright? Yes I said it. I'm LAZY AS HELL.

I'm that person that puts off my household chores till the last minute, I prefer to procrastinate homework and play video games. Honestly, it's a miracle I've gotten A's in all my classes all these years?? Seriously, I've always just spent the last two hours before a due date finishing all the work, and have scraped by the skin of my teeth every time.

I suppose you could say I'm just lucky. I've been pretty blessed in the fact that I usually pick up on stuff pretty fast. I haven't revised an essay since middle school. And I always do just fine!

Maybe this is why language learning has always been so hard for me - so elusive. I cannot keep the motivation up to continuously do the work necessary. I simply cannot! It's heartbreaking!

So here's the deal, in two years, I'm going abroad to study for a semester in Japan. Cool Cool. But in six years, I'll fulfill my lifelong dream of living there.

What does this mean for Kiwi? It means I need to start taking this shit seriously and be able to live day-to-day life in Japan.

Here's the plan: A mix of literally fucking everything.

Refold

Genki

単語

Practice Tests

Pimsleur (eventually)

Shadowing

Immersion

Sentence Mining

Diary writing

WaniKani

and this mf blog

This blog will be my way of being consistent with studying. How do you come into the mix? I will be giving WEEKLY updates. If I haven't posted in 8+ days, spam me. You have permission.

I need your help accomplishing my dream. Thank you.

Maybe I’m just too meticulous but like, the struggle to get cropped and full-length shirts to be the same size while folding really gets to me sometimes

#mine #I have a p good eye for it at this point but still… those ten seconds it takes to retold a shirt when I judge the length wrong… #they haunt me… I will never get that time back #*refold
