💜 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.

I really like the identity-based concept, specifically because it focuses on what you usually do vs whether you miss a day. I feel like it helps avoid the pitfall of missing a day or so and feeling like you might as well give up.

i saw your thumbnail and I FELT like i must comment , i was waking up for 400 days or more at 5 am with consistency , when i noticed the number of the days and how much days a person could improve his consistency in your picture , i start saying how i began at the first , along with solving my procrastination , i found that everything came from your mind . if you want do it or no , if you've a huge reason which motivate u or no

Fanfic novels are how I learned Korean lol (I read 1,000,000+ words of fanfic in Korean). It's worth the struggle required in the beginning though it does require a great deal of patience :)

I use the temptation bundling technique not only for language learning but also for doing exercise regularly. I often find it hard to start exercising and then I start doing a 'Netflix' workout (those are specifically designed so that you can watch something while doing the exercises) and continue watching KZbin or a series. And while doing that I get into the exercise flow and then continue to exercise without watching something else during it.

Thank you for this video, Tanya 😊 I have a list of identity-based habits already on my phone and I think it's a much better mindset. I think the obstacles I always hit were being too ambitious at the start and then falling off when week 3 started. I appreciate the tips you gave for some strategies that might help. Good luck with your languages! ❤

I will write one sentence in Hebrew about a topic of my choice daily (I have already made a small list of topics) and then I want to write around 75 words in Italian about that sentence, so basically I want to use the Hebrew as some form of a headline for my text.

Also at 15:19 you show a document you share with an accountability partner, is there any way you could share the doc (or a blank copy of it, possibly through email or something similar) so that I could see how to set one up myself? If you’re comfortable with sharing it, that is

@tbenavente 11 ай бұрын

I think reviewing what you've learned is really important, but it doesn't have to come in the form of just re-reading your book or notes or even taking quizzes. Reading and watching things in your target language can be a great form of review, in my opinion

I have tried using LinQ and end up highlighting practically every single word. Am I using it wrong or do I need to have more vocabulary before I can use LinQ effectively?

@Charlotte-ti2yk Жыл бұрын

I use LingQ. In the beginning you do highlight every word. All the words start out as blue, meaning you’ve never seen the word and you don’t know it, so you highlight it and it becomes a ‘LingQ’. A LingQ is essentially a word you’ve seen before, you’ve looked up the meaning before, but it’s not a word you consider known. Eventually though you’ll see the yellow word enough times that you don’t need to look it up again. You now know it, so you mark the word as known (unhighlight it). In the beginning everything is either blue or yellow. It’s normal. Eventually, there are less blue words, and more yellow and white. And eventually you’ll get a whole page of white words with the odd yellow smattered in there. But it’s completely normal to start off with a page of highlighted words.
