Avoir beau +infinitive

J’ai eu beau tout essayer, je n’ai pas réussi à le convaincre.

Even though I’ve tried everything, I couldn’t convince him.

Important: avoir beau is always in the first part of the sentence!

My entire linguistics drive (finally)

Well, I finally managed to get my entire linguistics folder onto a drive (all 610ish papers, slide shows, and language maps). Enjoy this. I put time into this. I literally spent most of yesterday organizing this. I will be updating once a week.

Here’s the link.

[littlestudybugs-deactivated2018]

‘5 a Day’ challenge (learn around 500 new words by 2018)

This wonderful post here got me thinking about how realistic and manageable learning five new words a day actually is, and I’ve come up with a challenge. It’s primarily aimed at language-learners, but if you have a butt-load of definitions to learn it could be useful (although, I recommend only learning 3 longer definitions a day) or for law cases if you just need the name and a sentence about the case eg - Ireland;Burstow (1997) - silent phone calls can be assault.

The challenge:

Starts - Monday 4th September Ends - Sunday 31st December

How it works:

Monday to Saturday, you learn five new words each day, and on Sunday you revise the words and focus on the ones you find difficult.

Monday to the next Saturday, you learn another five new words each day, and on Sunday you revise that week’s words AND the previous weeks’ words. 

And so on.

Each Sunday you revise all the previous words - just a brief check for those you know, and spend a little more time on those you don’t.

By the end you’re should have learned around 500 new words!

[finnjasatlas]

I’ll do this with French! Learning the words will include writing them into my vocabulary notebook, adding them to a quizlet set for the challenge, and inventing an example (a sentence in which the word is used). Revision will include testing myself by covering the word in my notebook and writing down the ones I don’t remember on an extra sheet, going through the quizlet set and reading the examples!

Expanding my vocabulary in Italian

I was getting frustrated that my productive skills being less advanced than my receptive skills, so I was delighted when Learn Italian with Lucrezia uploaded her most recent video, “How to expand your vocabulary/Come espandere il tuo lessico”.

The activity she proposes in the video is to create a table of verbs with columns for the infinitive, noun/s, adjectives and past participle.

So far I have 31 verbs in my table, which looks something like this:

I’ve found it helpful for my confidence when speaking in Italian (which recently took a bit of a dip) and, of course, is generally helpful for language learning.

Note. This method is effective for me because of my learning style and preferences, so naturally, it’s not going to work for everyone.

[ukpuru]

what tips do you have for someone who wants to learn igbo? i am igbo but my parents didn't speak it to me enough when i was a baby to learn it

My parents also didn’t speak it to me, I learn’t it by myself (to a certain extent), although admittedly I lived in Nigeria for a bit, but that factor is unfortunately becoming irrelevant now. I hope you don’t mind a long answer, I think this may help others as well. First of all if there are any Igbo classes around you, try them.

1. The best way to learn any language is through immersion. I’m going to assume you know at least some Igbo, but can’t really understand a sentence? If so then I’ll recommend listening to music written in Igbo that you like (hopefully there are some, I don’t think there’s much metal or trance though if you’re into that, hehe) and try to memorise the lyrics (ask for help if you need) and recite those lyrics over and over again, making sure that you remember what the words mean. You don’t have to completely know what you’re saying, but trust me the reciting will help you sound natural and Igbo will start sounding natural to you. It also helps break down the language from that muddled sound; you’ll be pleased when you start recognising individual words, even if you may not necessarily know what they mean. Maybe start with Phyno (although his songs have a lot of slang peculiar to Enugu in them).

1.1 If you like Nollywood, there are Igbo films, if you hate it then forget films, there are random clips on Youtube of interviews and so.

2. Try and learn a new Igbo word within periods that will realistically work for you (daily, weekly, monthly, etc), get help in putting the word in a sentence for context. Start with words you’ll use everyday. You can decide the importance of words by comparing your learning with 1000 most common words in English, but be sure to understand that Igbo and English are very different, so just use it as a general guide.

3. Igbo is agglutinative, and you can easily see the verb root of each word, you can see how a lot of words have been formed (after you’ve learnt enough) and you can actually guess certain words you don’t know or a meaning of one that’s new to you. This is one of the major factors that propelled my learning. Igbo uses vowels and m/n as prefixes with verbs to form words for the most part, each vowel has a generally separate grammatical weight to them.

An example: for the word ché, ‘think’, íché means ‘to think’, òché means ‘him/it/they think’. Now ńchékasi is broken up as so: ń - prefix for the continuation of something, ché - ‘think’, kà - ‘continuing’, sí - suffix for thoroughness of the verb. So what does that mean? Overthinking and in extension depression. You can replace ché with any similar verb, like gbú, ‘kill’ and it, ńgbúkasi, will mean genocide or something like that. Learning this basic grammar can help you guess words from their verb roots

4. Mkpuruokwu is an online dictionary that is the most reliable and diverse Igbo dictionary I’ve had access to, printed or otherwise. Use it, I still learn Igbo words from there. When it’s up anyway. As of now the website isn’t functional, so this online draft of an Onitsha Igbo dictionary by Kay Williamson (PDF) before she died, can help, but many of the words are peculiar to Onitsha Igbo.

5. As I said before, look at videos of Igbo speakers speaking, even get your parents / other Igbo speakers to speak Igbo at you if you are still in contact with them. Internet forums are also a good place to look at peoples writing.

6. You should also try and learn the Igbo alphabet to understand written Igbo and to understand how the letters (and how sounds in Igbo are generally) pronounced. A good video to start with.

There are also a wealth of Igbo language learning tools online now, especially videos on YouTube, but to be honest I haven’t seen anyone whose learnt Igbo completely from these tools since the Igbo learning industry is still in a stage of infancy. The best thing is to learn as much form multiple videos.

Dialect is a whole new point and subject, but I don’t want to discourage you from learning because of that. Your family probably has an Igbo dialect peculiar to them, I say learn as much from what you have and then when you get a comfortable skill level then you can start picking up words from your own dialect. It’s better to speak a generic form of Igbo than not speak it all.

Persistence and passion is also important, without me really wanting to learn the language I wouldn’t have because it’s very easy for me not to. Overall, have a good time because the language is fun. Hopefully these tips work for you and you start to reclaim your gift.

Ijeọ́má.

How to Create a Language Learning Schedule (+ Printable)

I recently set up a new language learning schedule for myself and I thought some of you might find my approach useful, so I decided to create a short guide and a printable (you can download it as a pdf here). Lots of people struggle with finding a way to study several languages at once (I do, too, as I’m currently learning 5 languages) and I think having a good plan is essential!

As you can see, it’s quite simple. Once you have downloaded the printable, you can create a perfect schedule for yourself in a few easy steps:

1. Define your goals

First of all, you should know why you need this schedule and for how long you want to stick with it. Do you want to plan your studies for next week, the next month or the entire term or (school) year? What exactly do you want to learn until the end of that time period? How many words, how many grammar topics, how many levels in your favorite language learning app? You need to answer these questions in order to be able to estimate how much time you should / can / want to spend on your target languages every day.

2. List your languages and resources

Secondly, you should make a list in which you mention the resources, methods and tools you want to use for each language. It should look something like this (the more detailed, the better):

3. Divide your resources into categories

I put six categories on the printable. Use a color code to show which resource belongs in which category:

4. Almost there…

There are a few things you should consider before creating the actual schedule:

How much work and time do you need to put in to reach your goals?

How much time do you actually have in a normal week? When do you want to study?

Are all of your target languages equally important? How often do you want to study language 1,2,3,…?

Do you have any classes that you have to prepare for / do homework for? If yes, you can include that in your schedule!

Do you want to avoid studying two similar languages in one day?

Do you want to focus on a special skill?

5. Set up your schedule!

Goals, resources, time management - you’re ready to make a detailed plan! Here is a random example:

In case you were wondering “why do the whole coloring thing and list your resources and everything” - I think this is a way to avoid procrastination. Let’s say it’s Friday, so you should be learning French vocab (orange) and practise listening (green) in Spanish. Now, if you never made a list with all your resources, you might end up wasting your time on tumblr or google searching for “Spanish listening practice” and reading arbitrary posts or watching videos you already know without really doing anything because you just don’t know what to do. If you consider your list, you will know that for Spanish, you will either have to watch a movie or listen to some music, and for French, you will have to do either Memrise or Anki. As I said before, this gets easier if your list is more detailed. Actual tasks like “watch a movie on website x about y with subtitles in language z” will force you to work with what you’ve got and use the methods and resources you already know. I read so many posts like “I keep downloading textbooks for that language but I never use any of them, I just keep downloading more” and this won’t happen to you if you use the list!

I guess that’s pretty much it… I hope you like the printable, enjoy your studies!

[my-messy-langblr]

Thank you for this list!!

[puroespanol]

I am an adult trying to learn Spanish, but have been struggling. With a full time job and other life requirements I can't spend tons of time studying, but small daily amounts have not seemed to work. I've tried apps, podcasts, and flashcards but don't seem to retain much. After a short time I seem to lose most of what I thought I'd learned. Do you have any advice?

I understand the struggle of work and life requirements. I would recommend that you integrate Spanish into more of your daily life. In other words:

Change the settings on your phone and TV to Spanish.

Watch more Spanish news and television shows.

Listen to Spanish in your car through podcasts or music.

Find a language exchange partner and commit to a once a month or once a week meeting with him or her.

Translate vocabulary throughout your day. As you go about your day and see objects, translate them into Spanish in your head. You’ll find that you don’t know words for many things and you’ll get curious about looking them up.

I know that learning a language isn’t easy but when you’re a busy person you’re going to have to actively look for ways to integrate the language into your daily life. You might come to a point in your life when you can dedicate more time to language learning and imagine all the knowledge you will accumulate if you start off right now in these small ways. 

Best of luck!

For people who want to learn Japanese but don’t know how to start!

NOTE: This is not a post for resources. I mention some in this post, but you can find way more on posts like this or this. Also, keep in mind that these are just my personal opinions and methods. I tried many different things to get over that beginner hurdle, and I found that this method was most effective. Take away whatever you think will work best for you. Good luck!

1. Make some decisions

First, come up with a couple reasons why you want to learn Japanese. These reasons must be specific and meaningful enough to get you through those times of frustrations. Write them down somewhere. 

Next, decide whether or not you want to learn how to handwrite. Handwriting is definitely important and can help in the learning process, but it isn’t completely necessary in this digital age. It takes time out of learning other aspects of the language, and you probably won’t handwrite too often anyway. It really just depends on what your goals are and your reasons for learning.

Lastly, figure out which areas you want to focus on: reading, writing, listening, or speaking (any combination of them or all of them), depending on your reasons for learning. If your main goal is to be able to read Japanese books, you’d obviously want to work more on reading, and if your main goal is to be able to communicate with Japanese people, you’d want to concentrate most on speaking or writing. As with any language, input (reading and listening) is going to be much easier than output (writing and speaking). Of course, focusing on all four will be the best option, but realistically, it will take much longer to master all of them at once compared to focusing on specific ones. 

2. Learn hiragana and katakana

In my opinion, romaji (English spellings of Japanese) should not exist in any textbooks at all. The very first thing you should learn is Hiragana, the most basic writing system of the three, so you never have to rely on romaji. You can put off learning Katakana until a little later, but Katakana should be memorized fairly early on as well.

Here is a really good guide to Hiragana by Tofugu. They also have a guide for Katakana here. Use mnemonics! If you like to doodle, make up and draw your own mnemonics. This website is a good place to test yourself. There’s also this website.

For both, aim to be able to recall the character almost immediately after it pops up, in under 2 seconds. You want to be able to recognize them as well as you recognize ABC’s!

[movalentin]

When studying French as a language it’s helpful to understand the culture behind it as well. If you take French as a high school or college course you’ve probably had a test on culture before, so I thought making this post could be useful for anyone enrolled in a French class or studying it independently but with the want for extra resources. This will mainly pertain to France with the bottom part of this post listing other French speaking countries. If anyone would like a similar post dedicated to one of the other French speaking countries, ask! Hope this helps!
