Was zum Fiiiick soll der Scheiß

Tbh im kinda pissed im not asleep in bed next to the love of my life in a cottage with no obligations other than watering my vegetable garden

what if instead of calling each other names we referred to each other by our most dominant feature

like ‘hey Nose’ or ‘hey Too Much Eyeliner’

that’s usually called bullying

to everyone studying in a language that isn’t their first; you’re doing great and i love you

I’m writing my novel in fifth person, so every sentence starts with “I heard from this guy who told somebody...”

Welcome to Japan

Where cars are parked orderly and in reverse

Where fruits can be cubes

Where people keep left

And lamps have different brightness for double beds

People queue up in lines

Applies to stickers too

Where what you get is the same as the poster

you get waved goodbye..?

Relieving both mind and body

Yup.

Smooth train operator

No embarrassing knocking or barging into rooms to check out if they are occupied

When you need an extra hand

For the selfiestas

Brolly holders

Because normal manhole covers are too mainstream

Think diagonal

And anytime u need to soak your feet

Where you raise responsible adults, not brats

And luggage is organised in color codes

When you need help after the condom broke

Instant sanitary gratification

Why they are so welcome at football matches

Where water is that clean in the drains

Nuff said

Shout out to my Arabic teacher that looked at us yesterday mid-lesson and said, “I’m worried. You all look exhausted and depressed.”

Of course we were all like, “Oh yeah we’re dead inside, you haven’t noticed?”

And he snapped shut the textbook, threw up his hands and said, “That’s not healthy! No more vocab! Time for dancing!”

And he taught us a dance from Iraq and we danced instead of doing vocab. We didn’t stop dancing until he saw all of us laughing and was satisfied that we were all feeling better. It was perhaps the coolest, most kind-hearted thing I’ve ever seen a college instructor do.

C1 in one month (Language Learning)

I’m going to be attempting at becoming C1 in one month. (Just to see I’m not going to be upset If I fail) But I’ve created a pretty solid (Barely, I might edit it later) Study plan to achieve this goal. The results may vary depending on your language choice mine is Korean. I have a small background in Korean, I know may 800 words at max and my grammar is all over the place. (I didn’t even study for an entire year) 

However, I have this entire summer off and I plan to do nothing but learn languages. Mind you, this is MY goal and it IS realistic nothing is impossible. If I fail someone else in the future will or has already succeeded, okay? This is also not my first time studying a language anymore. Let’s not try and put each other down from learning because that’s literally what I’m doing, learning. So, by saying it’s impossible and that I will fail will only make you look like an asshole.

Okay for starters let’s define C1

C1 Definition : Can understand a wide range of demanding, longer clauses, and recognize implicit meaning.Can express ideas fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions.Can use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes.Can produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organizational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices.

C1 Vocab size: around 8,000 words 

C1 grammar: Advanced 

There that should seem simple enough shouldn’t it? Now let’s break down parts of language learning and a language.                                                                      There’s 4 main parts of a language listening, reading, speaking, writing. To break down the learning process its just vocabulary and grammar.

Again this depends on the language you will be learning but I believe I have found a pretty solid grammar series to reach an advanced level and I have an extra book just in case.

Grammar resources (can be found online): Korean grammar in use series and Korean: A comprehensive grammar  

Those are the resources I plan on using and there’s no guarantee that I’ll reach C1 grammar from using these but hey I can try.  I even broke down the chapters of my grammar books so I can fit them in within the month.There! Grammar is out the way and now I just need to focus on vocabulary. 

Vocabulary is where I’m sort of stumped on because you can know 8,000 words and still won’t be able to understand a lot of things because you just studied nouns or certain words that aren’t in everyday conversations. So even after the challenge ends I still plan on learning vocabulary for a little while. However, with that being said with the memrise courses I’ve collected (there’s going to be a lot of repeat words) I should know 13,066 words. I actually added an extra course that’s almost 2,000 words that I don’t plan on going through within the 31 days of the month but I’m going to use it anyway. 

There both parts of the language are finished and throughout the month I will be focusing on improving my listening skills and speaking skills (I know how to read and write Korean well) Now the only challenge left is to get all of this done in 31 days. That’s the beauty of it really this could work anytime of the year I just prefer working on it in the summer since I have nothing to do. Now onto the actually schedule. 

                               REMINDER: I’m still deciding whether or not I want this to be in July or in August because I was actually planning on studying Japanese for the the 1 month, 1 language challenge @lovelybluepanda   created. As long as every 7 days or Saturday of each month you have off to just review and relax this should work the same for any month that has 31 days in it. This also may be edited later

Also when I’m saying “Units” I mean chapters of a grammar books I’ve broken down my grammar books by unit and the one with the most is 26. Anything that’s not the Korean in use series is a memrise course, Day 19 is when I’ll be finished when grammar.
