[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

lately i’ve been kinda inactive here because real life got busy. been taking care of my parent’s cats and the house while they’re out of town (super tmi). my body’s feeling unwell again, but i still practicing on the app tho, just didn’t post bout it

[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

was very busy yesterday & today and just did a quick review
• added more vocab and practiced writing
• reviewed lesson 4 because i’m still a bit confused about some parts

[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

• did a review of yesterday’s vocab (as usual) and practiced 5 more vocab (also as usual).
• reviewed lesson 4 & practiced on the app

today i only did reviews, i think tomorrow i’ll relearn lesson 4 again cuz i’m not that confident i understand it yet😖

|•| decided to write some new vocab from the textbook into my notes and practice writing each character (5 characters per day): 什么, 名字, 我, 老师, 吗
|•| continued learning the function of 的 as a modifier (adjectives and nouns)

actually i wasn’t really focused today because suddenly i felt unwell (runny nose and my throat feels like hell)😔😭🥲, that’s why i kept making mistakes while writing🥲

[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

today:
•|• reviewed previous vocab
•|• practiced new vocab (喜欢, 知道, 想, 认识, 会, 能)
•|• learned the structural particle 的 (possession)
•|• practiced on the app

@mokanyom haha ayoo, udah aku follback ya

[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

- did some practice with new vocab (写, 学, 买, 做, 叫) and kept reviewing previous vocab cuz short-term memory duh🥲
- jumped back to interrogative pronouns (谁 & 哪) since i felt like i hadn’t fully understood them yet + learned measure words

i changed the language on my phone, but i still don’t know a lot of characters😃 so for now, i think i’ll use english first. once i recognize more, i’ll change it again

[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

no literally, i really love wandering around gramedia😭 like i can spend hours there just trying pens, markers or reading books

[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

today i didn’t have much time to study because i was out all day, so i just reviewed yesterday’s vocab on the app😔😖
tmi: i bought new markers/highlighters cause i love keeping my notes colorful 🌈🥰

[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

@lotus_pagoda Interesting! I didn’t know that. I’ll look into it more. Thank you!🙇‍♀️

[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

wanna ask again 🙋‍♀️ for those who use flashcards to memorize, which one suits you best: making your own flashcards or you just buying them?

[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

basically today i learned:
• interrogative pronouns (谁 and 哪) — i used chatgpt because my slow brain couldn’t catch the explanation in the textbook 😭
• reviewed yesterday’s vocab and practiced 5 more (喝,看,听,说,读）
• practiced on the app

#studytwt #langtwt

[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

@lotus_pagoda Is that an app? Or web?

[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

well today:
• just memorized some vocab while writing it down (think i’ll take 5 vocab a day😀)
• practiced a bit on the app too (still bout pronoun)

not learning too much today since work was busy, so i’m keeping it slow but consistent (trying my best🥹)

@ellinstudies agree! i think if we combine both, it will be better

[van 𝜗ৎ @summerleizy]

wanna ask my moots who learn mandarin
how do you memorize words/phrase? do you write them repeatedly while u memorize it? or memorize it by opening-closing ur notes? or u guys have other methods?🤔
