been studying for the last 4 hours, so basically since 7:30am, while running on one hour of sleep - I’m having fun though! Created accusative sentences (+some silly sentences for practise lol) & did exercises on destinations. 570 anki cards in my set so far, just have to actually study them :‘)

reading in the metro, the train and on my armchair, falling asleep with a playlist from the past running on loop, writing down notes and turning pages over and over again

reblog is ok, don’t repost / use

how to make a mini library of alexandria (on a laptop) and actually use it: short guide

So what do I mean by this

Basically

Read a lot. Learn a lot by reading a lot

Knowing where to read a lot, have variety ykwim

Be smart but the chaotic academic way

In this age, it is very important to educate yourself if the world won’t do it for you

WHERE TO FIND INFORMATION

First, how do you find places to lurk in and gain info from (for books):

Where to find recommendations : literally anywhere but my favorite place is pinterest

Read for free: onlinereadfreenovel.com , novel80.com, 

Download for free : OceanofPDF , Planet eBook, d-pdf.com, pdfdrive.com, even pinterest (I once found the entire cruel prince series and the heroes of olympus series on it)

Yeah a library is a place of books, but most importantly, it's a hub of knowledge . Some places where you can learn a lot of include: articles, channels, interviews, websites, audiobooks, aka the media

HOW TO LEARN AND INTERACT WITH THIS INFO

How to force yourself to learn it in the first place: Have the page up and let it sit there on an interesting page (or article or point of the movie) so that when you remember and glance at it you’ll want to read or know more and keep going.

The best way to know a lot about something is to deep dive into it and the best way to do that is to rabbit hole. For medias and books, you can start by researching:

Their sources

Their author/directors/creator’s : other works, inspirations or any considered successor, life (specific experiences that might have shaped who they are)

How to interact with the knowledge you’ve just learn

Discuss it, debate it, teach it, sing it, write it, just share it

HOW TO ORGANIZE ALL THESE BOOKS (what I do)

Make folders on File Explorer or alternatives (for e.g. i have a folder of all my books and another for my movies with subfolders)

Make lists of books you have and books on the tbr list

Sites/apps for notetaking : Notion, Obsidian, Arena, Milanote

this is kinda rushed and weird but I liked making this so yeah!

Philosophy likes to present itself as a public practice, though the thinker is usually found at home, either symbolically or actually. Philosophers are private intellectuals long before a few of them vie for public attention, sometimes to disastrous effect. Philosophy is actually a kind of interior design put on public display—a house tour, as it were. I can enter some philosophers' space by engaging with their work, but I must remember that this is their mental space. I can pay a visit, but I can't move in for good.

Une ressource pour la compréhension orale !

Si vous êtes comme moi, trouver des moyens de pratiquer la compréhension orale est difficile puisque la plupart des ressources sont trop faciles, mais les vrais médias français sont parfois trop difficiles… mais j’ai trouvé une ressource que j’aime bien !

C’est « French with Panache » qui est sur Spotify et YouTube (et sur autres plateformes). J’aime beaucoup la vitesse, le vocabulaire, et le contenu.

J’espère que vous trouverez cette ressource utile !
