💜 ABOUT ME:
Hi and welcome! I'm Tanya and the only thing I like more than learning languages is probably talking about learning languages (well, that and hoarding language books).
My native language is Russian and I'm currently in different stages of learning English, Spanish, Polish, Italian, Korean, and Japanese.

[@badpoetry33]

I love this. Usually I don’t track my language learning progress. But I am SO inspired because this shows me that I can track, record and feel proud of progress, instead of just floating and learning in the ether. Thank you!! Also Luca is the best!

[@adventureswithmadison]

You are so detailed. I could never 😂

[@tbenavente]

In all honesty, this is probably the first time I've managed to stay this consistent with a planner 😅

[@bzylarisa]

I used to track my language in my bullet journal but I've gone all digital since a couple of years before. I currently track everything in my Notion. But, darn, watching yours was tempting, it made me want to go back to bullet journaling. Hobonichi is awesome😍

[@tbenavente]

I love using Notion for tracking my language progress and I'm not giving up on it just yet, but earlier this year I felt the need to be away from my digital devices more often, hence the paper planner 🙃

[@Erika-pq7ip]

Us language lovers understand each other 😂❤❤ Also as a greek, I'm so happy that you've taken up our language too

[@tbenavente]

Yeah, I've been enjoying Greek so much lately! By the way, if you have any recommendations for movies, shows, music or channels, I'm all ears 👀

Just bought a cousin to use for language learning. So glad to find your video!

[@tricotilla]

I use to do the same with a simple notebook that I've created... every month I write down things that I want to focus on in each language I'm learning (English, French and Russian)... For example this month it's like that: English - Shadowing every day/listening and writing) French- listening and reading and for Russian- listening and one lesson on Busuu app each day.... I've created a simbol for each activity and I've chosen a color for each language! It might be weird but by doing that I can be consistent... 😂

[@tbenavente]

Not weird at all! I think mine also helps me stay more consistent with my languages

[@pistanthofobia]

Im native in polish and i am really suprised every time i See that people learn polish! Good luck with that , i know this Language is Crazy ❤

[@bercia2137]

Hellooooo, Polish here :D I'm so impressed that when you learn so so much you also have time for such complicated language as polish! In case you have any questions feel free to ask, I'm open to help :3

[@JaneDoe-uf1ok]

Замечательное видео, спасибо! Меня всегда смущали обзоры, в которых каждая страница планнера выглядит так, как будто её разрисовывали годами, а тут отлично структурированная и симпатично поданная информация разом. Хочется взять пару пунктов себе на заметку. Подписалась 💞

[@joreneelanguages]

The hobonichi planners are sooo cute and tiny I just love them 😍

[@tbenavente]

100% agree! And the crinkly sound the paper makes is everything 😍

[@amj.composer]

I watch hundreds of language learning videos everyday but somehow only end up liking yours. I think you have a knack for expressing your thoughts and are super detailed but not to a fault. I can tell you have experimented a lot and have found what you liked!

[@irrinahdm4102]

That's interesting! Thank you for sharing! It must be great pleasure to look back and see how much work you've already done 😊

[@kiroyia]

You are my absolute favorite language youtuber !! I always look forward to new videos 💗

[@tbenavente]

Omg, thank you 💜 I'm going to print this comment out and put it somewhere I can always see it, for days I feel too lazy to work on a video 😭😭

[@pixpusher]

This is outstanding. This year I used a daily Hobinichi but I like what your system with the weekly. Next year I will try it. Thank you.

[@LemonEyesNL]

This is so what I needed!!!🤩🤩🤩🥰

[@shiorisaeki2175]

Hey just found out your video cuz I was looking for the way to use hobonichi weeks. I don’t think I’ll use any planner to keep track of my language learning, but it is a good way to keep your growth! I am learning Portuguese so I really liked your content about language learning. I will subscribe hash

[@polarbearseverywheres]

Such a fantastic video! Thank you for sharing. 💓

[@tbenavente]

Thank you for watching!

[@nikit.5240]

This is really cool. I think I might want to do this for accountability and consistency.

[@MomotheFuzzyUnicorn]

This is so creative! Thanks for sharing. Also I feel you on the social anxiety aspect 😅

[@californianorma876]

I'm really glad that I'm not as obsessive as I thought I was. That's what I've learned.

[@tbenavente]

Good for you!

[@TheWishDragon]

Honestly this was really helpful, thank you. :D

[@DivineDorothy]

I love the 365 tracker page to see which languages you spemt studying the most ❤️

[@thenunujournals]

Automatic sub because I'm Greek hehe ☺ plus I live and breathe stationery 💓

[@hotchick014]

I've been looking for a way to use my planner as a language journal for a while! Thank you for posting this. I really want to learn Spanish and French so this is a good starting point. #Newsubbie :D

[@tbenavente]

Glad it was helpful! Best of luck with both languages!

[@vickeyheisler2369]

this helps me so much. i think i am going to use the hobonichi a6 days free. thankyou for doing this video.

[@kaekazu1639]

Cześć! super że uczysz się polskiego, powodzenia w nauce!

[@tbenavente]

dziękuję bardzo 💜

[@michelleneuman579]

Very impressive! I am learning Italian through a program called Rocket Italian. I’m all over the place with trying to find videos, books etc to help me learn. I love the song Perfect Symphony with Ed Sheeran and Andre Bocelli which is one thing that sparked my interest in learning Italian.

[@pieceaisa5046]

i LOVE this planner but i just can’t use it because the work i have for school is just to much to be able to write in the small notebook. but i LOVE how it looks, the fact it lays flat without a spiral binding which gets caught in everything..

[@haveyoueaten_]

Oh my god! You are a true learning languages lover.😀

[@tbenavente]

A little obsessive, I know 😅

[@hanamimimi114]

i do a version of this. i currently am studying abroad in Japan. I have the exact same planner, and i only write in it in Japanese as a time capsule of my memories and progress here. i treasure it very much ❤️

[@user-qp2mm5iw7v]

its vey useful! thank you❤

[@tbenavente]

Glad it was helpful!

[@barbaraesposti6712]

Complimenti per l’apprendimento di queste lingue! È un bellissimo modo di utilizzare un planner e registrarne i progressi. Mi piacciono molto i trackers e il color code. Un saluto dall’Italia, se ti serve un confronto per la lingua, chiedi pure. ❤Have a nice day!

[@nonigamez]

Hola Tanya. ¡Muy interesante! Actualmente solo uso Notion para organizar mi aprendizaje de idiomas pero definitivamente me gustaría usar un cuaderno en papel. Uso cuadernos para el estudio propiamente dicho. ¡Saludos!

[@tbenavente]

¡Hola! Yo también solía usar Notion, pero este año he sentido la necesidad de desconectar un poco y no pasar tanto tiempo frente a las pantallas 🙃

[@enory5983]

thank you , helpful and enjoyable video . how many times do you usually review your languages,please? keep it up

[@bellabernadette6787]

Huaaaaa i would love to track my languge journey tooo

[@jiminiepabo4030]

Great viddeo although im not organized but i decided to do for my b2 level .❤ Is language learning your passion or you have goals? One more question How do you find study buddy i really need one...

[@meikurai]

how are you going with your Italian? I'm always curious when someone is learning my language.

[@peachmangooo]

What pen are you using? It compliments your handwriting really well.

I mostly use uni jetstream 0.38mm in black

[@liltero2512]

Your graphs are small and cute😍

[@tbenavente]

Thank you! 💜

[@acidsuzanne4049]

Nie spodziewałam się języka polskiego w tym wideo :o We don't have much movies or series that could be easy to engage for language learning purpose, but I highly recommand checking out some classic Polish KZbin creators like: Historia Bez Cenzury, SciFun, Grupa Filmowa Darwin, Uwaga! Naukowy Bełkot

[@khanitime]

Polskiego się uczyłaś? Super :)

What is the name of the luca video you mention here?

[@tbenavente]

to be honest, I don't remember which one exactly it was 😕

Inspiring, I think I I'll get one to manage learning Turkish/Arabic. Also, a small request: Please pin the "study buddy" comment by anaju to help us find study buddies here through you! Thanks

[@anaju1501]

how did you find your study buddy?? I would love to have one but I have no ie where to look for
