Ah yes, as always, I tunnel vision so hard that I forgot to drink my tea until it's lukewarm or just straight cold.

Language Resources 🎀

*that I currently use for studying Spanish. When I pick up studying Japanese again, I will make a list for that as well <3 I currently use a handful of resources for learning Spanish, and they've all proven very useful so far!

🩷 My Current Resources for Spanish

Busuu - hands down my favorite language learning app. So much better than Duolingo, in my opinion (especially for languages with a different alphabet/writing system). I bought the premium for a year, which will expire in Septmeber, but I'm debating renewing again because I love it so much.

LingQ - I like using this for reading in Spanish. It gives me different types of things to read about, and while I don't have premium, I do put all the words I don't know into flashcards on AnkiApp on my laptop and translate anything I don't know using SpanishDict.

SpanishDict - favorite translation/dictionary app. I know it has lessons you can use, tho I haven't tried it yet, but I really do love this app. It's super helpful when I'm making flashcards or writing random vocabulary notes.

Goodnotes - This is a general note-taking app, but I love it because it allows you to import and write on PDFs, and that's just perfect for me! I've downloaded free PDF short stories/children's stories in Spanish and made notes of words I don't know, and taken notes in the app too. Definitely my favorite notes app, ever.

Italki - I know this is a website, too, but I use the app. It lets you work with professional teachers/community tutors in your target language. You can have structured lessons or just use it for conversation practice. I did a trial lesson not too long ago and have an upcoming lesson booked out in about 5 days. You pay per lesson, so there is no subscription, and there are so many languages and teachers/tutors to choose from. I did a lot of research before choosing a teacher, and I'm very happy with my decision so far. Definitely useful if there's not native speakers near you or you're like me and not confident talking to people you know in your target language/their native language.

Quizlet/AnkiApp - I use AnkiApp more then quizlet, and the Anki I'm referring to is NOT the same way everyone else uses, but it's the flashcard app of preference at the moment. I tried the AnkiDroid app and hated it. But yeah, AnkiApp is useful for flashcards and I really like it. I have it on my Chromebook and my Ipad.

Netflix - I love watching shows in Spanish on Netflix so much. I am currently watching La Reina del Sur on it (used to watch that sporadically in the past at a friend's house) and plan on watching some other shows, including Elite.

Spotify - I enjoy listening to Spanish music and podcasts right now. The music is more of an entertaining/enjoyable fork of audio input, and the podcasts help me get a feel for speaking and pronunciation and I choose podcasts that speak on topics of interest tk help with vocabulary in those areas I'd like to be able to speak about.

Textbooks - I have 2 PDF textbooks, Gramatica de Uso del Español: A1-B2 and Gramatica de Uso del Español: B1-B2. I've heard these are great for learning Spanish (and they're both only written in Spanish, like there's no English in them) and plan on using them once I figure out how to take good and useful textbook notes! I definitely need to improve on my grammar.

Those are all my current Spanish resources! I'd definitely say my current level is like a high A1 right now, nearing A2, but I have just a little bit of work to do before I get there. These resources are definitely gonna help, tho!

* a gluten free spinach bacon Alfredo pizza I made at work yesterday, some cinnamon rolls from a work event last semester, and made from scratch strawberry shortcake made by yours truly for the first time ever about 2 years ago for a class (I made the whip cream and biscuits from scratch and soaked the strawberries in sugar myself as well, whole thing was from scratch and I had never baked prior to this)

February 7th, 2026

I want to read more. and write more. and draw more. and color more. and do more artsy stuff. and move around more. learn languages. learn how to dance. there's so much I want to do, yet I feel like I'm also somewhat content just focusing on school and work and my finances. It's all for the future, which is good, but part of me really wants to enjoy more of my present too and have hobbies and be an interesting and well-rounded person again.

I think calendar blocking again might be useful for me to show myself like I do have the time for this stuff. I just need to put that time to use.

anyways, today I'm working a double shift, 9am to 9pm, with my bf at our job. I'm gonna be exhausted when it's over, but it'll be good money, and that's what I need right now, money. gotta pay off school, save to move, continue paying rent, make my credit card payments, and just live life still.

I want to start a "personal curriculum" of sorts, but I feel like with my college classes and work, I might need to pick 1-3 small areas of things I wanna do and then track it. like learning Spanish, creative writing, and an artsy hobby? something like that would be nice to fit into my schedule and routine.

my todo list today is basic:

morning hygiene

gratitude journal

read on my break at work

listen to one podcast episode (when we close at work)

night time hygiene

not a lot of time for school stuff today, which I'm not mad about right now. gotta give and take where I can, ya know?

anyways, I'm tired, and I gotta get ready for work. later, lovelies 🩷

these methods are what are helping me the most to learn spanish:

1. Label Your Household Items: Place labels with Spanish names on objects around your home. This constant exposure helps reinforce vocabulary in a practical context.

2. Create a “Spanish Only” Zone: Designate a specific area or time each day where you only use Spanish. This could be a room or a period during which you read, watch TV, or speak only in Spanish.

3. Use a Spaced Repetition System (SRS) for Vocabulary: Instead of traditional flashcards, use an SRS app to review words and phrases at increasing intervals. This method helps improve long-term retention of vocabulary.

4. Write a Diary in Spanish: Keep a daily journal in Spanish. This practice helps you think in the language and improve writing skills while reflecting on your day.

5. Sing Along with Spanish Music: Choose songs in Spanish and sing along, paying attention to the lyrics. This helps with pronunciation, rhythm, and understanding colloquial expressions.

6. Learn Through Role-Playing: Act out scenarios in Spanish, such as ordering food in a restaurant or asking for directions. This method helps you practice practical language use in a fun and interactive way.

Important: Methods can change depending on what works for you, so try everything you can. Methods can also turn out to be less effective as you gain more knowledge.

obs: Spanish is my priority right now because I’m no longer learning it as a hobby but as a necessity. You are free to correct me.

Quick Funfact & tip:

Did you ever realise that different languages use different parts of the mouth/throat to make sounds? Once you realise that and identify where the sound comes from, it gets easier to learn pronunciation!

For example, English is spoken using the back of the throat— while Korean is spoken using the front of the mouth. This might explain why Korean-speakers pout so much while talking ahahah! Give it a try!
