write a diary
literally
justwrite a diary, it has helped me sooo much and i dare say it has been the most developing thing i’ve done while learning french, nothing else compares
1. you’re exposed to the language daily
2. you quickly see which words are missing from your vocabulary
3. you learn to write about the things you think about a lot
4. learning to actually think in your target language
5. having to look up words and when reading the entry back a couple of days later you can’t even remember which words you didn’t know
6. going back to the earlier entries and seeing all the mistakes and knowing how much better you’ve become
7. when you’ve been writing for a few months and your target language becomes a natural way for expressing yourself
8. when you’ve been writing for a few months and you start seeing the diary writing as a way of self-expression and stressrelief, and the language learning aspect becomes natural and secondary
9. filling out a whole book using only your target language and physically seeing how much you’ve accomplished
Ita vero. Hic est exercitium optimum.
Yes, this is truly one of the best ways to practice. The more you practice writing and thinking in your target language, the more you’ll improve. It basically fills a similar role as having a conversation with someone in that language.

Kanye Occidens - Pater Meas Distenne Manus
[Intro: Pastor T.L. Barrett / Chorus & Futurus]
Auctor solus es (auctor)
Auctor solus potes
Auctor solus es (auctor)
Auctor solus potes
Ohh, ohh, ohh, alter…
Nisi adulescens Metro credit sagittabo
[Pre-Chorus: Cuduli & Pastor T.L. Barrett / Chorus] Aurum mane, solus in mi mane mel
(Cui dico?)
Nihil non vult
(Vae, cui dico?)
Aurum mane, solus in mi mane mel
(Nisi tibi dicam)
Nihil non vult
(Nullum auxilium alterum scio, meas distenno manus)
[Chorus: Cuduli & Pastor T.L. Barrett / Chorus]
Volo esse liberatus, ego-o-o-o
(Cui dico?)
Volo esse liberatus, ego-o-o-o
(Vae, cui dico?)
Si umquam instigavi, apologeticus sum
(Nisi te dico)
Narra, qui sapere potest, ego-o-o-o
(Nullum auxilium alterum scio, meas distenno manus)
[Versus: Kanye Occidens & Kelly Price]
Nam si futuo hac lupam
Illaque culum albavit
Albator in mi tunica
Cogitabo culus
Debriabar ubi illam coibam
Adsumus in Tribeca
Illa vexabat si sinis
Illa vexabat si…
Nolo dicere
Nolo dicere
Nolo dicere nullam
Nolo dicere nullam
Omnia dicunt ullam
Anxiem si nullam dixere
Monete unde scio
Illa ullam debere videtur
Scis quod volumus
Volo excitare me
(Volo excitare me)
[Pre-Chorus: Cuduli & Pastor T.L. Barrett / Chorus & Kelly Price] Aurum mane, solus in mi mane mel
(Cui dico?)
Nihil non vult
(Vae, cui dico?)
Aurum mane, solus in mi mane mel
(Nisi tibi dicam)
Nihil non vult
(Nullum auxilium alterum scio, meas distenno manus)
[Chorus: Cuduli & Pastor T.L. Barrett / Chorus]
Volo esse liberatus, ego-o-o-o
(Cui dico?)
Volo esse liberatus, ego-o-o-o
(Vae, cui dico?)
Si umquam instigavi, apologeticus sum
(Nisi te dico)
Narra, qui sapere potest, ego-o-o-o
(Nullum auxilium alterum scio, meas distenno manus)

Me: I want to know languages
Person: then study
Me: no study. Only know.
Rectus videtur.
Seems right.
I hate English
English might seem complicated, but it can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.
Fuck you
