So I have put a stupid amount of time into thinking about and researching how to learn languages. I'd probably learn better if i spent that time studying the languages themselves but thats beside the point.
This stuff has all just been floating in my head for a few years so i guess here's a good place to plop down my collective thoughts on the topic. Some of it is academically researched, other parts are ancedotes, and some of its just things that seem smart to me. Anyways thats to say this isn't super professional or sciencey, its just a collection of personal knowledge.
First, a rating system of fluency. I'll be using CEFR (common european frame of refernce for languages. i don't know where the L went in the acronym)
| CEFR Levels | |
|---|---|
| A1-A2 (beginner) | you know jack shit |
| B1-B2 (intermediate) | you know some shit |
| C1-C2 (advanced) | you know your shit |

I am flying in a few hours, the trip to my destination will be one day and five hours total. Death be upon me, I have moved around a lot, and this isn't the first time i've had a flight this long but... It aint fun. It really aint. Anyways I'll get to see my cousins, my classes will finally not be at 3 am due to the timezone change and best of all i get to see the cutest little dog in the world ever. I might post a picture of him later, he's such a cutie.
This felt like more of a status update than a blog, I'll try to add things with more substance and some sort of knowledge gain backing them in the future, but uh yeah travelling has me going crazy.
so this is something I've been putting making this off for about 4 months now. I finally sat down and did most of the site today so I could stop stressing myself out over it.
I'm not exactly sure if this is how i want the layout to stay, i like the black on white but i might switch to a blue grey color scheme later. Anywho hello, i'm kiri, I like dwarves so i made this dwarven themed cause they don't get nearly enough appreciation. This mostly exists for bookbug, an online bookclub i'm joining, maybe some rants and/or picture galleries later if i get around to it. But honestly i'm quite slow at doing anything and slower at actually understanding what i'm doing. So don't hold out hope my adoring fans.
