GERMAN YOUTUBERS MEGAPOST
Hey German Study Buddies,
I think watching German youtube for the past year or so has allowed my German to improve so much. Adopting the German colloquialisms and listening to the fluency and grammar structures in the videos has really helped me so so much! For anybody learning a language: youtube is the best!
Not only is it fun to watch the many funny videos or hauls (yes…I have obsession with clothing hauls), but also you can learn so much by just continually listening to the German. Anyway, it took me a while to find these German youtubers so I thought I would share them in one big master post here:
PS: if you know any other good German youtubers let me know and I’ll add to the list! :) PPS: I put a little heart next to my favourite ones x

Guess who’s back on tumblr? After opening my studygram account last week I thought it would be a nice idea to continue my studyblr journey!
I started the 5th semester of my degree in chinese literature, history, language and translation and it’s getting hard tbh but really love what I’m studying!

hello !! ok so today i want to share some of the things i’ve learnt in my years of being a languages student, particularly regarding vocab & grammar. i personally love learning languages and there are many obvious benefits, communication being one of the fundamental ones.
tbh vocab and grammar are probably the backbones of any language - they play a huge part in developing your translation, reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.
pt i: vocab
- have a list. the simple act of writing is one of the most effective ways to retain information tbh ! it’s good to keep a seperate section / notebook / document for this so everything’s in one place & i personally like to keep prescribed textbook words and words i look up during translations / exercises in seperate places as well, for the sake of organisation. also you can flick back through later and feel accomplished :-)
- flashcards. write the word in your language on one side and the translation + relevant grammar info on the other side, and use that to test yourself. quizlet + anki are great online flashcard tools !
- mnemonics. short [or long!!] phrases / acronyms /stories are super useful, especially with words with multiple meanings or words which look annoyingly similar.
- word / pictorial association. ok word association is obviously easier in languages of the same family because so many words look / sound similar but pictures are great too, especially for more visual learners.
- this article contains some excellent tips for studying a language with a different alphabet
pt ii: grammar
- make up chants / songs [hand gestures can help!!]
- look for patterns.
- take the french present tense -er verb endings: -e, -es, -e, -ons, -ez, -ent.
- and the imperfect tense -er endings: -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient.
- not too different right?? learn to spot these similarities + use them to your advantage !
- repetition is key. sounds boring but repetition is one of the best ways to drill things into your brain; whether it’s verbally, mentally or just by writing out the entire table. i often repeat things over and over to myself whilst doing everyday activities like washing the dishes and it really helps.
- learn the exceptions to the rule. because there are always exceptions. just learn them. i do recommend making summary notes or flashcards for harder concepts simply to gain a better understanding and also because you can look over them quickly & easily
- also just !!! practice !!! often things make much more sense in context, so practice by doing exercises and translations
pt iii: general tips / links
- read !!! reading exposes you to so much more culture + vocab and grammar in the way that it’s used in a day to day context
- similar to above; watching tv shows / movies and listening to music is super fun too + develops listening and therefore speaking skills
- practice practice practice. whether it’s just going over vocab or scanning through a text or listening to music or writing a short passage, try to engage with your target language on a daily basis. trust me, it helps a lot.
- find a partner !!! learning new things with friends is so much less daunting + you can study together and motivate each other and maybe even travel together one day
- apps / sites like duolingo, memrise, omniglot, babbel, bbclanguages and 101languages can make language learning more fun + engaging
- + some youtube channels !
- each language is unique so for more specific resources, check out some of these masterposts: japanese, latin, spanish, chinese, italian, korean, french, [etc]
remember: learning a language is hard. adapting your brain to understand a whole new set of words and rules is hard. it’s supposed to be hard. but it’s ok to make mistakes. it’s ok. you got this. and in the end, it’s so rewarding - knowing another language is a skill you’ll have for life. good luck + i hope this was useful !

11.22.20 ♡ 95/100 days of productivity Haven’t been here in a while and now finals szn is here! Can’t believe first semester of pharmacy school is almost over even though I’ve been looking forward to this ever since school started lol. We still have winter classes though so technically we don’t really end til a month later. Pharmacy school has been exhausting and I can’t wait to relax for one (1) day before classes start again. Good luck with everyone’s finals! 🍀

Winter Studying Challenge
What is your favorite thing about winter?
My absolute favorite thing is the snow, I’m so glad snow came early this year. I also adore the holiday atmosphere and aesthetic. The combination of red and white decoration mixed in with plaid and flannel textures. Seeing all of the Christmas decoration in malls and downtown. Having a cozy day indoors by snuggling up with hot chocolate and a good book near the fireplace as the snow falls outside.
What is your least favorite thing about winter?
I hate it when it’s cold outside but there no snow on the ground, what’s the point of that. And when the wind gust is so high that it takes all of my energy to reach my car.
