i'm gonna be 17 in less than three hours, i hope getting older means all the aching over things from years ago can go away, i feel like im just frozen at a point in time because no matter what i do there's so many things that don't seem to leave. i wish sixth form goes fast and that i can actually get out of this slump thats seemed to have lasted for the longest time now. i have so much work to do from the easter holiday, i had my chromebook confiscated from me but i got it back the other night so i'll need to last minute complete everything. i want to visit my primary school but i'm a bit scared of how different it's going to be, and if my old teachers will actually be happy to see me. my mum wants me to start driving lessons but i feel like with everything going on i won't be able to handle it.
i was supposed to make a birthday playlist post but honestly there's no point because i won't listen to it anyways i hope when school starts again things will be a bit less miserable. that's all for now Amimi
I’m considering mixing in a bunch of studyblry things into this blog, should i?
general - motivation is something i’m really lacking, mock exams for sociology and french are in jan starting the week of jan 17th - i’m also expected to prepare myself and write applications and such for mock interviews with real employers. it’s weird because i don’t feel old enough to be doing these things, i’m not sure if that’s because of covid or if it’s due to other reasons. times passing awfully fast but slow at the same time?
english - i need to start going through macbeth which has already proven to be a challenge, shakespeare really isn’t my forte - language is something i’m really struggling on too - when it comes to timing and reading questions properly and not panicking - a christmas carol, lord of the flies and macbeth are the three books that will be covered in the literature exam - i hope i’ll be able to go through macbeth and completely memorise all three by march
wish me luck!
au revoir pour le moment ~Amimi
- live in either a big city or a quaint little town in the countryside, there is no in between - sending pressed flowers,newspaper scraps of recent events or blackout poetry on ripped out book pages with letters -hoarding all the small things and letters and keeping them in your satchel to read in the library you work at -waiting in anticipation for the next letter and getting a bit too excited when it arrives
hot people have obsessions with true crime and could probably be the worlds greatest serial killers and get away with it but aren't athletic enough to go on the run
“in-ear headphones are bad for your hearing” actually they’re perfect because the music is inside of you
00:05am - written immediately after previous post. my tumblrs been neglected due to my focus on other social media and shitty life stuff in general. planning to focus my spare time and attention solely on here and on this blog, i’ll probably move away from dark academia and shift towards my more recent interests and studyblr things but i’m unsure as to what exactly yet. having champage problems and in dire need of sleep ~ Amimi
Salut!!! I am here to give you some resources that helped me learn french! <3 I will warn you that I learn very informally. I hate taking notes or like seriously studying.
Langauge Transfer- a free podcast lesson that is FANTASTIC for getting a good base in the language and for making connections from english to french. You can listen on youtube or soundcloud
netflix- once you can at least read a bit in french, i would highly recommend the show Lupin on netflix. Watching with french subtitles and then graduating to sans sous-titres will really help! It is a wonderful show and I think that Omar Sy´s accent is really easy to understand
TV5Monde- they have a really good listening comprehension test and then give you resources to improve. You might watch a video about an art exhibit and then answer some questions about it.
Youtube- I can not stress this enough. Not only can you find teachers, but you can also find native french content to practice. BUT the most useful is the comments. That's where you can learn a ton of slang and vocab
I have never been a huge soccer fan er I guess le fút lol. But i am now. Paris-Saint-Germain has a great channel with interviews and games with the players.
CRAZY SALLY
cam summers
Piece of French (teacher)
French Avec Nelly (teacher)
InnerFrench (teacher) and he has a great podcast too!!
Easy French (interviews for people learning french)
lingoni french and french with Alexa (these two were never my cup of tea but are great quality)
Duolingo- some people really do be hating on it, but it has gotten a lot better. I wouldn't recommend it as a only/primary source of learning, but it is a great supplement to get some more vocab in. Plus if you join in on the leaderboards and challenges, it is fun
I do make flashcards as a way to review vocab and I go over them when I get the chance. Quizlet made a lot of their stuff premium :( so i use Brainscape which is pretty great
The best way to get better is to talk!!!! Even talking to yourself for a few minutes a day will do wonders
Bonne chance! <3
oh my, i love you <3 merci beaucoup!
i'll definitely check out all the resources!
found the bracelet from bracelet boy :)
