A Guide to Audio Journaling
This past month (or longer, I think) I switched from regular, written journaling to audio journaling, and I thought it’d be great to share my experience: the practice, what I actually do, why I do it, and some things to think about if you wanna try it out.
I keep all my audio journals on the voice memos app on my phone, but if any of you know an alternate platform to do so, feel free to share!
Anyway, hope this helps, and as usual, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message or drop me an ask. Have an awesome week :)
Quick reminder,
This quarantine isn’t a productivity competition.
You do not have to:
- lose weight
- work out every day and get a 16 pack of abs
- cure acne
- master a new skill
- read 17 books
- change yourself in anyway
By saying you’re going to use this time to “glow up” is implying that you’re not already shining but bb you sure are.
It is ok to not lose 15 pounds and don’t beat yourself up if you gain a lil bit either. It’s natural, you’re at home and walks to the kitchen are pretty common.
It’s ok not to work out every day and get absolutely shredded. Sure get your exercise but don’t beat yourself up over not doing an intensive 30 day butt and ab workout. Who the flip cares!
It’s fine not to master a new skill. Sure find something to keep you occupied but you don’t need to master a whole new skill just because. Arts and stuff takes years to master don’t feel bad because you can’t get there in a week.
You do not need to change yourself in anyway. This is quarantine, our main goal is to survive. Don’t beat yourself up if you’re not solving world hunger or turning yourself into a model and certainty don’t beat anyone else up if they’re not.
This is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, you can’t achieve Self Actualisation if have not achieved your psychological needs and you can’t get psychological without basic needs.
Pretty much, make sure your wellbeing is in top knick before you try to accomplish every goal you’ve ever set or ever will set.
Keep safe and much love,
Charlie xx

Exams next Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday .... wish me luck. I’ll probably go on a bit of a hiatus afterwards but I’ve been setting up a really long queue to maintain some facade of activeness while I figure out what to do over summer. I’m thinking of maybe doing an online course in python (anyone have any good recommendations?)

This post has been in the works for a while, but I think it’s a really fun one. So I’m am thrilled to present to you
An assortment of more or less ridiculous Danish phrases to incorporate into your day-to-day life!
elefantræs (noun, itk.) – elephant race You’re on the highway, minding your business, going 130 km/h. You look ahead, and lo and behold. A truck is trying to overtake another truck, because how dare that other truck go 2 km/h slower than the first truck.
kiggekø (noun, fk.) – watching queue (or line, if you’re American) Kø is the word used in Danish for a traffic jam. So you’re on the highway again, and this time there’s a traffic jam. There’s been an accident in the opposite direction and everyone is slowing down to see what happened, rather than minding their business and just going 130 km/h.
tandsmør (noun, itk.) – tooth butter You love butter so you put enough of it on your bread that your teeth are leaving marks in it.
fisk (exclamation) – fish Said instead of “Jeg ved det ikke/det ved jeg ikke” (I don’t know).
ka’ vip’ (noun, fk.) / ka’ stå (noun, fk.) – can tilt / can stand Bread rolls are usually flat on the bottom, so when you cut them in half you get the upper half that can tilt, and the lower half that can stand.
over (noun, fk.) / under (noun, fk.) – upper / downer Literally the same as above. The top and bottom half of a bread roll, respectively.
morfar (noun, fk.) – grandpa A nap.
skaffel (noun, fk.) – spork It’s just spork, but it sounds funny in Danish, and most people I know just use the work “spork”.
burkabil (noun, fk.) – burqa car A car on which the front window is completely covered in snow or frost, except from a narrow slit, because the owner was too lazy to properly remove it.
at smutte mandler (verb) – to slip almonds The act of removing the skin from almonds by submerging them in hot water and then gently pressing on both sides with your thumb and index finger in order for the skin to slip off.
nedern (adj.) – downern When something is a bit of a downer, or when something sucks, it’s nedern.
svenske tilstande (noun, pl.) – Swedish conditions You think something is overly politically correct, and in Sweden they’re very good at being politically correct. Gay people deserve that many rights, I mean really, we’re nearing Swedish conditions!*
svenskerhår (noun, itk.) – swede hair A mullet. A variation upon this is “bundesligagarn”, Bundesliga yarn.
pølsetysker (noun, fk.) – sausage german You meet a German person and they’re like, really German. They’re a sausage German. Alternatively, you don’t like Germans, so you call all of them pølsetyskere.
gåsevin (noun, fk.) – goose wine Water. I have absolutely no idea why.
hovskisnovski (adj.) – bigsky nosesky Arrogant, similar to English “snooty”. It’s ~playfully~ Russian, and originally it took the form of “hovs(en)gesnovsen” from hovsk/høvsk meaning proud or snooty, and from the German word Schnauze, snout. Thus we get proudsky snoutsky, or bigsky nosesky.
italesætte (verb) – in-speech-put To put something into words. Personally, I hate this word, but it’s gaining popularity. I guess we’ve gotten too good for “sætte ord på”.
flyskam (noun, fk.) – plane shame The immense shame you feel when you fly somewhere on holidays, due to the negative impact your flying has on the climate.
fandenivoldsk (adj.) – devil-in-power-y Reckless, diabolical, defiant. Originally form the phrase “I Fandens vold”, in the devil’s power.
vorherre til hest (exclamation) – the Lord on a horse Lord, have mercy/Good lord, in the sense that “good lord, that is so stupid!”.
en hotter med det hele (saying) – a “hotter” with all of it A sausage with bread (hotdog=hotter), ketchup, mustard, remoulade, pickles, raw onion and fried onions. I’ll have you know this is a delicacy and you can get it in every pølsevogn in Denmark. In Danish hotdog is exclusive used about sausages in some kind of bread.
røvbanan (noun, fk.) – ass banana Probably the most juvenile and ridiculous insult you could possible sling at someone. I mean, I think ass banana speaks for itself.
dario (noun, fk.) – dario A self-assured and vain womanizer, possibly of southern european descent. Named after the well known Danish-Italian singer and actor Dario Campeotto. Basically a wonderfully Danish version of Casanova.
svenskerstiv (adj.) – swede drunk Extremely drunk. We have very high thoughts about swedes here in Denmark.
svigermekanikken (noun, fk.) – the in-law mechanism Your parents-in-law, or occasionally just your mother-in-law.
salatfad (noun, itk.) – salad dish The big type of car that the police uses to transport prisoners.
knag (noun, fk.) – peg A person who’s done something good. Your friend has promised to help you move, so you tell them “You’re a peg!”. Knag comes from the word knage, the individual pegs on a coat rack.
*just in case you didn’t catch the sarcasm here, that was indeed very sarcastic. I myself am one of The Gays™
80 Millionen - Max Giesinger [Deutsch - Englisch]
Da wo ich herkomm' wohnen eintausend Menschen Im Ort daneben schon zweimal so viel Drei hundert tausend in der nächsten Großstadt Und bald vier Millionen in Berlin
The place where I come from houses 1 thousand people The place next to it almost two times as much Three hundred thousand in the next city And almost 4 million in Berlin

I was alone for the last 5 years Tried to get all 6 balls in the lottery Slept too little 7 nights of the week Like being on a roller coaster on a long-haul flight

Travelled so far and seen so much So much has happened that we don’t understand I don’t know the answer but I still ask myself anyway How did you find me? One in 80 million
Hier war das Ufer unserer Begegnung Du warst schon draußen und kamst nochmal zurück Du sagtest hi und mir fehlten die Worte War alles anders mit einem Augenblick Ich war nie gut in Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung Aber das hier hab sogar ich kapiert Die Chance dass wir beide uns treffen Ging gegen Null und doch stehen wir jetzt hier
Here was the river bank of our first meeting You were already already outside and came back again You said hi and the words escaped me Everything was different in an instant I was never good at calculating probabilities But even I’ve got this The chance that we both met each other Were virtually zero and yet now we’re both standing here
So weit gekommen und so viel gesehen So viel passiert dass wir nicht verstehen Ich weiß es nicht doch ich frag' es mich schon Wie hast du mich gefunden? Einer von achtzig Millionen Einer von achtzig Millionen
Travelled so far and seen so much So much has happened that we don’t understand I don’t know the answer but I still ask myself anyway How did you find me? One in 80 million One in 80 million

Lieblingsmensch [Deutsch ins Englisch]
So I’ve decided to translate a song a day to keep me occupied + involved in languages. I chose Lieblingsmensch as the first as it’s a classic and also the first song I actually listened to in German and enjoyed. It’s also a proper Ohrworm so great for if you’re learning German.
Manchmal fühl' ich mich hier falsch, Wie ein Segelschiff im All, Aber bist du mit mir an Bord, Bin ich gerne durchgeknallt. Selbst der Stau auf der A2 Ist mit dir blitzschnell vorbei. Und die Plörre von der Tanke Schmeckt wie Kaffee auf Hawaii. (yeah)
Sometimes I feel like I don’t belong here, Like a sailing ship in space, but when you’re on board, I would happily go crazy. Even the traffic on the A2, Goes by lightening quick with you. And the dishwater they serve at the service station Tastes like Hawaiian coffee
Auch wenn ich schweig', du weißt Bescheid. Ich brauch' gar nichts sagen, ein Blick reicht. Und wird uns der Alltag hier zu grau, Pack' ich dich ein, wir sind dann mal raus!
Even when I’m quiet, you know what’s wrong. I don’t even need to say a thing, just one look. And when life becomes too boring for us, I’ll pack you up, and then we’re out of here!
Hallo, Lieblingsmensch! Ein Riesenkompliment dafür, dass du mich so gut kennst! Bei dir kann ich ich sein, Verträumt und verrückt sein. Na na na na na na - danke, Lieblingsmensch! Schön, dass wir uns kennen!
Hello, my favourite person! A huge compliment, considering How well you know me! With you, I can be myself, Dreamy and crazy Na na na na na na - thank you, my favourite person! I’m glad that we know each other!
Absolut niemand darf's erfahren, Aber dir vertrau' ich's an, Weil du's sicher aufbewahrst: Meine Area 51. Und manchmal drehen wir uns im Kreis, Aus 'ner Kleinigkeit wird Streit, Aber mehr als fünf Minuten Kann ich dir nicht böse sein. (yeah)
Absolutely nobody can know this, But I know I can trust you, Because you will keep it safe; You’re my Area 51. And we go around in circles sometimes, The smallest thing causing an argument, But after no more than 5 minutes I can’t be angry with you any longer. (yeah)
Mach' ich dir was vor, fällt's dir sofort auf. Lass' ich mich hängen, dann baust du mich auf. Manchmal wiegt der Alltag schwer wie Blei, Doch sind wir zu zweit, scheint alles so leicht.
I try to trick you, and you notice it immediately. I let myself down, then you build me back up. Sometimes life is heavy as lead, but when we’re together everything seems so easy.
Hallo, Lieblingsmensch! Ein Riesenkompliment dafür, dass du mich so gut kennst! Bei dir kann ich ich sein, Verträumt und verrückt sein. Na na na na na na - danke, Lieblingsmensch! Schön, dass wir uns kennen!
Hello, my favourite person! A huge compliment, considering How well you know me! With you, I can be myself, Dreamy and crazy Na na na na na na - thank you, my favourite person! I’m glad that we know each other!
Zeiten ändern sich und wir uns gleich mit. Du und ich, so jung auf diesem alten Polaroidbild. Das letzte Mal, als wir uns sahen, ist viel zu lang' her, Doch jetzt lachen wir, als wenn du nie weggewesen wärst.
Times are changing and so are we. You and I look so young on this on this old polaroid picture. The last time, that we saw each other was way too long ago But now we’re laughing as if you never went away.

Learning Languages and How to Make it Fun
(gifs not mine, credit to the artist)
How does a child learns? Immersion
So you gotta dive deep
Find songs that you like. You don't have to understand, you just have to enjoy the song.
Listen them at least once a day. The idea is for you to get familiar with the sounds.
Once you have already heard them too many times (without getting tired of them) look for the lyrics. In their native language, not a translation.
If you can read in that language, then try reading them. Print them if you have to or write them down (this is better) and as you listen to the song try to sing.
If there's a word/sentence you like because it sounds pretty, mark it.
If there's a word you don't know how to/can't pronounce, mark it.
For example, I have a journal in which I write Japanesse Kanji that I find beautiful (whether is because of the meaning or the symbol itself is pretty)
Once you are familiar with the song look for a translation.
Check those words you have marked with the translation.
While looking for definitions it's better if you find images (so can have an idea of what that word is) instead of a definition in your language (unless is a long/complicated concept).
Movies, you must watch movies in that language. Better if they are from that country. (It can also be a doubled movie, perhaps you could look for one of your favorites)
Watch them with subtitles (in your language) once or twice. Then watch them again but this time without subtitles or with subtitles of said language. (You already know the plot, so you can still understand what's going on)
If you like to read, look for children literature. It's easy and fun.
Keep reading even if you don't understand a single sh*t. It doesn't matter.
Mark again those words you like, don't know the meaning or can't pronounce.
Write at least one sentence every day. It doesn't have to be right, it doesn't have to be long or poetic, you just gotta write.
If you still don't know much about grammar (enough to formulate a sentence on your own) then write a quote from one of those songs, movies or books you read. Again it doesn't matter if you don't understand what are you writing.
If you already know another language, try to learn the new language with that one. For example, I learn german from english instead of my native language spanish.
Videogames. In my experience this is amazing. You have no idea idea how much I learned english just from games.
You have fun playing, engaged with a story, while constantly hearing the language. You don't even have to pay attention at what they are saying, eventually you'll figure it out. It's very intuitive.
And because games, usually, requires that you spend many hours playing you will have a lot of practice without actually studying.
Some games, if you look on the settings menu, even have other languages instead of english. For example I played Assassin's Creed Brotherhood in italian and french and AsC III in russian and japanese (the voice actors are fantastic).
Seriously, videogames are freaking amazing for learning.
The idea of this, is that you can imitate the learning process a child does, while also having fun and enjoying it. Kids learn by making mistakes, by playing with words and by being constantly surrounded with the language. At first, kids have no idea what they are doing, they just repeat what they see and hear. So it's okay if you don't know what are you doing, take that pressure off. This is not school/college, this is just you trying to learn a culture. So be kind and patient with yourself.
LEARNING SHOULD BE FUN, be creative with your methods and try everything (so you can find what you are comfortable with). It is scientifically proved that if you like what you are studying and having fun it will be 10x easier to assimilate and remember the knowledge you are acquiring.
did i do it right?
this reappeared on my dash and safe to say this is a lockdown mood
