Find Language Content to Immerse Yourself In
Gearing up for September already 😫
I have a dosage calc exam before school starts, and I can’t go to clinical if I don’t pass it (we can only get 1 question wrong). I got this book from Level Up RN to practice. Also learning some basic pharmacology to give me a head start for that.
Side note: I’m more active on Instagram now! I’m making content about chronic illness and being a disabled student. @thelupusnurse

Sorry this took so long! I have quite a long YouTube subscription list and I wanted to make sure I organized it a little bit too. A few of these YouTubers are from Kansai (like 禁断ボーイズ) so their Japanese may be more difficult or not sound as refined as the other YouTubers, but I recommend all of them 😊

Spanish Vocab List - El bosque de la bruja / The Witch’s Forest
I started this list all “let’s talk about trees and flowers” and then it took a hard turn into “now say you meet Baba Yaga in the forest…” and I’m not going to apologize for the spoopy witchy vibes

How to practice speaking in a foreign language
Hi! I’m learning many languages, including French and Spanish, and I wanted to perhaps share some advice for practicing speaking, because it can be a very daunting task.
Listen! I know I sound like a broken record saying this, but input is everything. Listen to podcasts and watch TV shows and youtube videos. Listen as often as you can, and if you have a conversation coming up with a native speaker, then try and listen to your target language for half an hour or so before.
Shadow! This means listen to a recording of a native speaker, and repeat what they say after they say it. You could try using Easy Languages videos, as they usually have subtitles.
Keep on working on your vocabulary and grammar! For this, an extra tip would be to focus on your weak areas. For vocabulary, immerse, and look up words that you don’t understand, and maybe put it in a flashcard app if you think that it would be useful. Grammar-wise, just drill the rules into your head, and say correct sentences out loud. Try to understand them rather than just memorise them.
Make a native speaker friend! This is the best advice I can give. You can find a buddy on language discords, or apps like HelloTalk and Tandem. If you are a beginner to intermediate student, then just talk about whatever comes up. If you’re an upper intermediate or advanced student, then make an active choice to speak about difficult subjects like literature, music or politics. Make sure to look words up as you go!
Speak to yourself all the time! Narrate your actions, and try describing what is going on around you. You can also just talk about your thoughts and feelings about things.
Keep a notebook of words you don’t know when practicing, and look them up later! This is pretty self-explanatory. If you are speaking and forget the word for ‘toaster’, then write it down and look up the meaning later on.
Learn set phrases and fillers! This is very important if you are learning a language for an exam, because then you can find ways to use advanced phrases above your level. Try lifting them out of books, conversations, podcasts and TV shows, and put them in a flashcard app like Quizlet or Anki to memorise.
Avoid your native language! Using your native language as a crutch won’t serve you, as much as it will make things easier in the short term. Try to speak around words, using the words that you already know. You could say “a place where you do exercise” instead of “gym” if you forgot the word for it. Try doing stuff like that and eventually your speaking will become more fluid.
Be brave! People aren’t as judgmental as you might think, so put yourself out there!
Thank you for reading this post! I hope it was useful to you!
