ways to learn foreign languages
Hi it’s werelivingarts and I’m back with some unique tips on learning foreign languages. I love learning Mandarin and Korean, and my foreign friends absolutely love it when I try to speak with them. ✨
Learning languages is tough but really fun. Remember that you need to set goals, such as by the end of today, I will finish studying the alphabet, not the simple “getting fluent” goal. It’s okay when things you first say are gibberish because you will certainly get better by learning your mistakes.
Here are just some extra weird ways to help you learn: ● Use region-specfic social media (Weibo for Chinese, Kakao Talk for Korean, etc) ● Narrate in other languages as you commute (e.g. the mysterious man who wears brown cap-toe Oxfords just get his cats turn left and is now entering the supermarket) ● Read newspaper and magazine ● Change your phone language ● Get help from your native speaker friends ● Take notes in other languages
P/s: Do you have any useful methods to learn foreign languages? If yes, please share it down here 🤩⬇️
Process goals vs. endpoint goals
This concept was one of the most life-changing things I ever learned, so I wanted to share it. It’s probably something you’ve thought about without realizing it.
If you have something you want to accomplish, or a change you want to make in your life, there are two ways to set goals: you can set process goals, or endpoint goals.
Example of endpoint goals:
Lose 10 lbs by Christmas
Write a novel
Get $5,000 into savings
Get straight A’s
Examples of process goals:
Cut down to one soda per day
Write 500 words a day
Save 5% of each paycheck
Study 1 hour a day
Endpoint goals represent an outcome you want to achieve. Process goals represent the steps you are taking to achieve that outcome.
But here’s the rub: process goals are better, and generally more effective.
Endpoint goals set you up in a yes/no dichotomy. Say you want to write a novel. Have you done it? Yes? Great. No? You fail. You’ve either achieved the goal, or you haven’t. Endpoint goals also don’t provide a roadmap for how to get there. It’s vague, and its typically far-off deadline doesn’t provide much mental impetus to take steps to achieve it. If you say “I’ll write a novel by one year from now” it’s super easy to say “ehh, meh, I’ll work on it some other time.”
Endpoint goals also set you up for disappointment and failure. It’s like putting all your eggs in one basket - you’ll either meet the goal or you won’t, and given that a lot of endpoint goals tend to be somewhat pie-in-the-sky, not meeting them is pretty common. Which just gets you discouraged.
An endpoint goal can seem like a big mountain you have to climb. Setting process goals instead of endpoint goals is focusing on the individual steps to take, instead of staring up at the peak, which will just make you trip over something. It’s carving switchbacks into that mountain.
A lot of advice you’ve probably already heard amounts to breaking down endpoint goals and focusing on process goals. Take cleaning or de-cluttering, for example. How many times have you heard the old “clean for 15 minutes at a time” or “break it down into multiple small tasks” advice? That works because what that’s doing is breaking down the big endpoint goal of “clean the entire house” into process goals.
A big area that uses this concept is in fitness. Saying “I’m going to be able to bench press 300 lbs by New Year’s” isn’t super helpful. So weightlifters focus on goals like “Each workout I will do x reps, increasing in weight.” That’s a process goal. And it’s more forgiving, too. Not every workout will be successful. Sometimes the bodybuilder may feel tired, or might not get in as many reps, but he’s still working the process, so he’s still accomplishing his process goals. I’ve found this very useful for my own fitness. I’m not focusing on hitting a certain lifting weight, or losing X amount of pounds (exercise isn’t for weight loss anyway) - I’m focusing on going to my classes regularly, walking on a regular schedule, getting those Active Minutes on the FitBit. That’s a process goal. And I always feel like I’m succeeding, even if I miss a workout or can’t walk because it’s raining - the process is still a go.
Sports teams do this, too. The endpoint goal might be “win the Stanley Cup,” but how they do that is by focusing on process goals. We’re going to practice these skills, and run these drills, and condition X many times per week.
Ultimately, your endpoint goal is the final reward of having met your process goals. Achieving your endpoint goal isn’t always within your power - if your endpoint goal is to publish a novel then you’re gonna need some cooperation from publishers - but achieving your process goals is always within your power, and taking yourself through that process may provide you with rewards that you didn’t anticipate.
Process goals give you a constant stream of positive reinforcement, which is something an endpoint goal can’t do. Any behavior that’s meant to achieve an endpoint goal is easy to rationalize stopping once the goal is reached (”I’ll run every day until I lose 10 lbs!”) but a process goal is an ongoing practice that will help you achieve goals beyond the endpoint, and other goals you never even thought to set yourself.
So if you have an endpoint goal you want to achieve, it’s okay to know what it is, but sort of - put a pin in it. The reward of achieving that goal is far away. Focus on process goals, and you’ll start feeling rewarded immediately.
OK, SO THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE ANYTHING EVER, AND I’M SCREAMING, I KNOW, BC THAT’S EXACTLY THE ADVIDE I NEEDED TO ACOMPLISH EVERYTHING I WANT TO OMG
As a studyblr community can we stop pretending that we never
procrastinate
turn things in late
copy homework
cheat
get stressed
memorize information simply to pass a test
hate a subject/topic
dislike school
don’t do homework if we know it won’t be checked
don’t read the textbook
skip on making notes
don’t pay attention in class
get bad grades
skip schoolwork to hangout with friends
put school second
find ways around doing the homework
look for answers online
because you know what? we do. we’re not perfect, we mess up, we make mistakes. but that doesn’t make us any less of a person. you’re allowed to be imperfect.
yes!

school mindset
essays - make each essay you write better than the last
small assignments - aim for 100s, expect 100s, get 100s
homework - pretend they’re assignments
homework that’s not graded - pretend! they’re! assignments!
tests - study for 100s, expect less
long term projects - act like it’s due in four days -even when it’s not- until you’re done with it
group projects - do not get angry
presentations - pretend you’re obama
disclaimer - this works for me, it may not work for everybody, do not push yourself too hard!!
This is such a great way to treat college work!

Ways I learn languages for free
If getting ahead in life, getting into high society, or just educating yourself is one of your goals, then learning a second language or multiple is something that Could/ will prove very useful to you.
I learn languages with YouTube, tumblr, Instagram, Duolingo, and various other free websites (I’m currently semi fluent in French)
There’s an educational area in the App Store that has many education apps that you can download for free (on iPhone)
Instead of following "influencers" etc. I follow pages that have something educational like: animal planet FR, learn French, learn French with movie clips, and a bunch of random stuff like this.
I have apps like Beelinguapp, Olingo, Duolingo, QUIZLET, and meef (met some of my close friends from there but the app is full of people on there for the wrong reason)
I change my phone language settings to French
I make fun Flashcards, label things and start forcing myself to think In French so I can remember the words
I use Viki which is a K-drama app, it’s really popular and has great shows and movies that you can often watch for free, you can change the subtitles to whatever languages you wanna learn.
PINTEREST, this app helped me learn Most of the French I know, there are so many vocabulary list and guides on there I would say I learned 65 percent of the French I know from there.
Another thing I do is I explore and just discover different websites and techniques, trial and error is a big thing but keeping this fun and not stressing myself out for not being perfect really helped me.
Have a goal and stick to it or else you won’t have any motivation and you’ll give up in 3 days, I suggest making a streak with Duolingo as it’s addicting and you’ll keep practicing everyday.
If anyone wants to practice French you can message me and I’ll most likely respond because I know how hard it can be to find a language buddy. Feel free to share you language tips and tricks as well! 😁

Women statues, el Rastro, Madrid.
She is good-hearted and generous, possessing a good character. She likes well-being, comfort, a life of ease, without problems. She has good relations with her social circle. She is easy to approach. All the same, she may fall in love easily. She has a successful partnership and professional life. People usually trust her.
Studying like Diana aesthetic: red lipstick, a well organized and filled planner, a glass of wine in the evening, history books on the shelves, high heels, tweed and silk, dinner in the city, notes from lectures, doing extra credit, academia playlists, strolls on museums, a Venus of Milo bust sculpture on the bedside table.
I love that Diana is an archaeologist, and being a history student I find it really inspiring. I believe she's all about the classy academia life, so that's what I'll be exploring and writing about.
