Motirõ

The name of this project is originated from a language from South America, more specifically Brazil, the tupi-guarani. The noun means "a reunion of people to harvest or to build something together, by helping each other". So that, the blog's purpouse is to bring closeness to language learnes, in a way they can share their own experiencies and learn together. I speak: Portuguese, French, English. I learn: Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Danish.

The problem I have is not with the duolingo itself, but rather the alarming number of people who believe that they can reach any kind of proficiency in their target language by only using duolingo. • It focuses on rote memorisation of vocabulary and simple sentence patterns. • It does not let the learner choose what topics and vocabulary they want to learn based on their interests or needs, rather making them shovel past useless lessons about animals and foods before finally teaching the word for “language”. • It relies almost entirely on translation, and does not allow the user to interact with the language naturally by using it for its original purpose - communication with others. …it is a great tool to help you learn the very basics, fill in little vocabulary holes, or revise what you’ve already learnt, however you simply can not expect it to make you “fluent” in a language, even in combination with other resources. The reality is: you can read all there is to know about riding a bike, but you will never be able to ride a bike if you don’t get on one at some point and start practising using the bike, even if you wobble or fall off; and you can read all there is to know about a language, but you will never be able to use it if you don’t begin using it at some point and start practising, even if you stutter or make “mistakes”. Successful language learners don’t just study the grammar of the language they’re learning (which they wouldn’t actually be able to do on duolingo anyway, as the extremely limited amount of grammar that is taught by the little green owl is often not clearly explained or reinforced); they get as much regular exposure to their target language as possible by watching videos, listening to music and the radio, reading books, newspapers and online articles, learning about things that interest them, and/or playing games, but most importantly interacting with other speakers as part of their normal life, even if they don’t live within close enough proximity to the country or area where the language is used.
They don’t measure their progress or success on their daily duolingo XP, ability to complete a lesson without losing any hearts, or the electronically estimated “fluency” percentage, but on how their confidence grows as they use it more every day, the increasing amount of enjoyment they get out of being able to understand the language and express themselves better each time they get the opportunity to listen to a song or chat with a friend, and the feedback they get from other people who give constructive criticism, encouraging them to continue exploring the world through the language.

resource for procrastination

if you’re anything like me, working on a computer is a dangerous thing. i’ll get distracted by everything - that one email i should respond to, all the pictures of my dog, tumblr, and so on. I recently discovered an amazing resource to stop that.

it’s called writer’s block, and is free to download! 

when you open it, it shows this screen, where you can choose either a time limit or word goal

then when you start, it opens a document that fills the entire screen like this

and you cannot quit the app or open anything else until your word/time quota is filled. i just wrote half of my english speech that i’ve been putting off all morning, and it took only 20 minutes!

so yup, it’s called writer’s block and is free for both mac and windows. enjoy!
