Missing York and all its cafés! I should have gone back to uni a week ago, but instead were doing everything online. It's being handled really well, but it's just not the same as the real thing! How are you coping with online classes, if you have them? ☕💛

Why i recommend you to travel by yourself

Not sure if everyone knows this , but YALL SHOULD. I decided too travel to italy by myself and that is the most beautiful and wonderful thing i’ve ever done!

1. You’re your own MUM

2. You choose wtf You want to do , no need to please the group

3. If it’s a foregin country , where they speak your target langauge. You are basically forcing yourself to speak it. (if youre going to a country where english is also spoken , like sweden , this does not apply to you)

4. If you have immigrant parents , you get to know a bit how it was for them. My dad is latino and i remember when he told me stories about comming to sweden not knowing the langauge. i always thought ‘’ but its easy?? just try to speak and youll succeseeed’’ BITCH I WAS WRONG!!!

5.you get to learn how to watch out for danger.

6. youll be more alert and discover more things easier. Small details.

7. you are way more approachable when alone. So it’s easier to find friends ( and weird crack heads , be careful)

8. You’ll feel less judged , no one knows you in ‘’Bali’’ , so go ahead , be you !

9. Youre your own bestfriend. Remember when u thought eating alone was akward ? well youre used to it now.

10. youre going to love yourself for this

Things I wish I did differently while self studying a language

Note: this is of course completely based on my experiences and studying habits. I decided to make this list and share it in the hope people won’t make the same mistakes as me.

While Duolingo is great, it shouldn’t be your only resource. Start with books from early on, look for other apps/websites.

Don’t just write your vocabulary down, study it.

Verb conjugations are awful to study but you really will thank yourself later on

Listen to music, watch movies/series, look for children’s books online or buy them,…

SPEAK! Even when you’ve just started, you can try to make up easy sentences.

Write down grammar rules and use examples.

If you don’t know a word, look it up. If not immediately, later.

Keep a diary in your target language, it will help you understand the language.

Follow as many blogs as possible that post about your language.

If you don’t really have time to concentrate and study, skip studying for that day and study when you can concentrate.

ITALIAN EXPRESSIONS

Raga - short for “ragazzi”; literally: “guys” (probably the most used)

Dai - it can be translated to “come on” and it’s pronounced like the English word “die” (so yeah it can create a little bit of misunderstanding)

Meno Male! - literally “less bad!”; but it means “thank God!”

Magari! - literally “maybe”; it’s the italian equivalent of “I wish!”

Basta - it means “that’s enough” “stop it” “enough”

Boh - literally this emoji: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or “to have no clue”. (“Did we have homework for today” “boh”)

Spettegolare - to gossip

Toccare ferro - literally “to touch iron”; italian equivalent for “knock on wood” (yeah we touch iron instead)

alzare il gomito - literally: “to raise the elbow”; to drink too much (if someone raised the elbow he drank more than he should have)

I have my first final tomorrow. I’m not feeling 100% ready for it but I’m trying me best. I think I’m just feeling drained from this semester, but I’m ready to start new next year. I have a planner set up and I’m excited to keep organized.

it’s been a while. getting the thesis done and written is quite a battle for me, I either do it for hours straight or then not at all for several days. my supervisor being hard to reach is not helping the situation. regardless, I am determined to get this project done by the end of november.

I said I was going to post about the thesis journal, but for now it’ll stay in private. I think it might be better to make a concluding post on whether it worked or not once the thesis is done and sent for final evaluation.

I’m going on a social media hiatus until my thesis is done because let’s be honest, I procrastinate like crazy. I have yet to overcome this destructing habit. I know, november is grey and dark and deadlines are kicking in but I wish a very productive month for everyone!
