0301 - A New Month

There is a new small garden near my home, where my friend says that flowers are blooming, and I have decided to visit there in the evening.

Spring is here, and a new month comes. In March, I plan to do my first TOPIC READING SCHEDULE, which means I would read books around a special topic. My topic is how to learn a second language. There is one reference book: Principles of Language Learning and Teaching. My professor said this book would help me learn profoundly and systematically about the core of language learning.

How incredible! In the past, I always lacked the confidence to handle language, although English is a required course, and I can get a high score on listening and reading tests through the cramming method. It all changed since I decide to go abroad, asking me to speak and write more. Through speaking practice, I develop my love of English. Sometimes people are talking like they are singing a rhythmic song. And I become to be more outgoing. I slowly understand the nature of LEARNING—learning is a behavior change, not just knowledge storage.

In the past, I always lacked the confidence to handle language learning, although English is a required course, and I can've always been able to get a high score on listening and reading tests through the cramming method.

Or maybe you meant "the confidence to use other languages"? Either way, I'm super inspired haha! 🤩😂

Sometimes people are talking likespeak as though they are singing a rhythmic song.

Beautifully expressed, I actually prefer your version but it still needs a little edit: "Sometimes people are talking, and it's as if (or "and it's like") they are singing a rhythmic song."

This is such a huge inspiration for language learning isn't it? Languages sound so beautiful! I tried learning German for awhile, but I fell into a trap. I became so addicted to German music that I ended up just listening instead of studying!

This time, I'm going to use Audacity to record my voice repeating Korean sentences (with audio), so that I can directly compare my prosody with native speech. ✌️

And I become to be more outgoing.

I try to use the website you recommended, but I don't know what happened when I clicked "Say it!", it is all stuck 😭

Oh really!? That's so strange... Maybe it's because the results are Youtube videos. Maybe you need to use a VPN for the content to load? 😕

I found another two interesting websites yesterday (though they're not as good as Youglish...):

https://ludwig.guru/
https://www.contentlake.com/

Whenever I'm not sure of Korean pronunciation and I want to double check, I use Youglish.

P.s. Youglish is great because it automatically finds highlighted keywords in subtitles - and hundreds of videos for whatever keywords you searched for. I've found the videos tend to be really interesting too actually! It's so convenient if you can access it...

Also Canguro is my favourite language learning YouTuber - he always refers to peer-reviewed research and he's very entertaining (even for me as a native haha!)
