idk how to explain this, but Les Mis (which I'm reading in french) is simultaneously the most boring book in the world while also being written with the most beautiful words ever?? like there are scenes I want to just skim through because they're so boring and dry but then I just. can't? like I want to know every word being said. I think Victor Hugo's ghost has a grip on my soul...

#les mis #les mierables #classics #books #bookblr #victor hugo #studyblr #I've never watched the musical #so i literally don't know what happens #or anything else about this book #also idk about english but in french the book is broken into volumes so im reading each one separately #mainly because theyre so long #plus it looks fantastic for my book stats lol

every scene in Macbeth that has Ross makes me picture Ross from Friends wandering about a Scottish castle 😭

so, I'm not really sure how many people this might help, but I just HAD to talk about this because it's amazing. there's this book called "Stories from Welsh History for Standard III" by Owen Morgan Edwards. not sure about apple books??? idk what iphone uses lol, but on google books, it's free (at least in canada). it's a great book in my opinion, with interesting, simple stories with the translation in English on the next page. it has some key vocabulary at the top of each story in case you get stuck. really good resource, hope it helps!

underrated language learning tip: listen to asmr in your target language! (if that sorta thing doesn't give you the creeps) I find asmr is usually very easy to understand, with lots of repetition, and lots of over explaining. (plus it's super relaxing if studying is stressing you out!)

day 18: Yesterday I only got around to German, French, and Spanish. but I feel more motivated today because I didn't overwork myself. sometimes breaks are important! today I'm hoping to get around to everything. 🤞

day 17 of learning Italian. decided yesterday I was going to ease back into learning multiple languages at once (I really couldn't stop thinking about my other target languages 😅) so I did a little Korean, German, French, and Spanish. Today I'm going to be focusing on my weakest languages (Korean, Romanian, Italian) and this afternoon I might brush up on my German, since I haven't studied that in two weeks. wish me luck 🤞😭

day 16 of learning Italian. I completed the first section of Italian Duolingo today, and I'm almost finished the first season of the simpsons (in Italian of course). I feel like I'm starting to be able to hear each word in a sentence instead of hearing a few words and the rest sounding jumbled. Today is the first day I really feel like I've learned a lot.

PS: enjoy these mildly threatening duolingo screenshots. (last one is my avatar lol)

day 15 of learning Italian. the simpsons in Italian is arguably just so much funnier than the English version because Homer says Mamma Mia and I just think it's neat.

day 14 of learning Italian. it's officially been two weeks since I started learning italian, but I missed four of those days because I was just too busy to study properly without half-assing it. spoiler alert: I didn't make insane progress! I spent a full 24hrs of those two weeks studying, which isn't too bad (I have a lot of spare time).

now I need to figure out if I want to keep studying only italian for a few months or go back to studying all the languages at once................ ........

day 13 of learning Italian. last night I dreamt that I started getting French and Italian words mixed up and I gave up on learning Italian 😭

#language learning #studyblr #aspiring polyglot #learning italian #im unhinged #language learning diary #last night i dreamt

I dreamt last night that they built a really long bridge between Alabama and Seoul called "the sanitarium" and it was mandatory to listen to sweet home Alabama while driving on it or else you would mysteriously die.

#last night i dreamt #i dreamt #funny post #I couldn't make that up #Alabama is so scary that i dream about it
