Okay, so...

1. The smell of early morning. Love it.

2. Corey Taylor's concerts.

3. Doing projects with my friends from studies, but only when they care about our work.

4. Making surprises to someone. I could collect the reactions like stamps.

5. Cosy evenings under the blanket with book, dog, quiet calm music and soft light.

IELTS ACADEMIC PREP

Hey, I'm looking for someone who plans to pass IELTS academic certificate. My teacher recommended me, to find somebody with similar goal, just to talk about nothing and use the language.

Probably, if you provide studyblr we have much to talk about haha.

If you're interested in some speaking sessions - feel free to write DM.

language learning made easy

I’ve summarized professor  Alexander Arguelles’ video, because I think this is crucial for language learning. 

There is no magic trick that will help you become fluent in 1 month, but there are very effective approaches to learning a new language and if you combine them, you will surely become fluent.

If you’re learning a new language, the most important thing you need to consider is – what type of language learner are you? 

1. If you:

have a more deductive approach, which means that you’re better at listening to and observing the language first and learning through that, rather than starting with plain grammar points from a textbook

have a fair degree of intuition

like to observe a phenomenon

feel somewhat comfortable with ambiguity for a while, until things become clear

are someone who can feel comfortable being corrected when they realize they were wrong, rather than getting confused and frustrated because they went down an initial path that turned out not to be correct (so you actually learn from being corrected and you don’t get confused by it)

then, these manuals are best suited for you: the Assimil Language Series, the Linguaphone Series, the Cortina Methods.

2. If you:

have a desire to have things explained to you beforehand in a nice and clear way

have a logical and analytical mind (which is usually the product of education in general)

have a need for a systematic approach (basically if you’re most comfortable with a book which is going to introduce the grammar according to an agreed set of methods or an organized plan)

then, you should try out some of these manuals: the Hugo Series, the Made Simple Series, the Teach Yourself Series, the Buske Series. 

3. PAY ATTENTION TO PATTERNS!!!

the most important part are the patterns of a language

no matter what type of language learner you are, I think it’s really clever to incorporate this method into you learning. 

a language is actually made up of patterns which constantly repeat themselves and that is THE KEY TO FLUENCY

repeating the patterns over and over again, until they become natural, until you no longer have to conjugate the verbs in your head before speaking

when you become really good with patterns, your sentences will come out naturally, and patterns are what will get you to fluency

I’ve provided the links, where you will find a review of the books, so that you can have an idea of what they look like. You can find most of these on amazon.

There is also an amazing blog on here, which provides free books, and I think that you can find half of these series for free there.  @lovelybluepanda

Falling water

This pandemic situations cancel my plans for holidays, erasmus, ect. Now, in the middle of the year I feel soo lost. It's like looking at the time and it's a falling water. And you try to stop it or just catch it, but it falls through fingers.

I hate waiting for nothing. How I can plan whatever when I don't know that maybe my country will be closed in October. Who knows. No one. And that's the problem.

How do you deal with these problems?
