oh my God. THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH. Like, I’m gonna pass my B2 french exam in may and I’ve been wanting to read stuff in French, but I couldn’t find anything, because a) most stuff I found was boring and didn’t spark my interest and b) because stuff that did seem interesting was way too fucking advanced for me. BUT THIS?! THank you so much bc I’ve read most of these books and I will be able to read them without gauging my eyes out from not understanding ~70% of the words!

@fangirlnerd101

I’m happy to know that my list helpes you ^^ good luck with your exam :) i hope you’ll ace it.

Tips for living alone

Buy a bat (I have my old color guard rifle) or similar. Keep it in your room/near your bed.

Get a lock for your bedroom door.

If you’re moving into a new place, change the locks. Who knows who had a key to your place before you.

Keep your phone/a phone in your room.

Get a weather alert system set up. App, weather call, little weather radio that tells you about major weather events.

Adopt a pet

Wave at your neighbors. Take note of the ones that make you uneasy. Watch out for kids always.

Be nice to your mail person. No matter what.

If you choose to drink/etc alone, unplug your wifi router. You’ll thank me.

Have extra seating. People sit when they visit. Your one comfy chair is great for you. Not so great for you + grandma + ur five cousins, your aunt, and a couple others.

Learn the self-Heimlich

When you take a shower, bring your phone to the bathroom in case you fall your phone is no longer halfway across the house, it’s just on your counter

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Idk what else

If you live in an one-room apartment, put a screen around your bed. It’ll feel less like you visit people, esp. strangers, into your bedroom. Also you’ll feel much safer sleeping in the enclosure.

Cook enough for a few meals each time you cook, and freeze the extra food. That way you’ll prevent things from expiring and it’s great when you don’t feel like cooking or have no time or energy for it.

Give a key to someone near you trust, or hid it somewhere few people will look, like up in a tree. Shutting yourself out isn’t nice, esp. not at night.

Put something translucent like curtains or stickers for windows where people can walk past or look in. You’ll feel less watched that way.

Put some contant money somewhere in your room. Good to have in case your bag gets lost or stolen. 

Feeling lonely? Remember, online contacts are not less valuable.

I would say maybe set reminders for everything too. Taking meds/vitamins, working out, going to sleep, waking up.

Buy a small fan for white noise at night if you’re the kind (like me) that gets anxious at all the little ambient noises that ANY building can supply in the dark.

Don’t watch scary movies in the dark by yourself, with no visitors.

NETFLIX, if you can afford it. It’s also useful because you can watch movies / shows with your online buddies at the same time, miles and states and (sometimes even) countries apart.

get an app like safetrek. never walk into allies or empty streets if there is a more populated/well-lit route to your destination. keep emergency contacts in your wallet and a red cross card with your blood type on it in case anything happens. carry a list of medications you’re allergic to, if any. 

walking around with a headset or headphones discourages people from yelling at you on the street, and it’s easier to escape from hasslers. however, it’s pretty advisable to not have anything actually playing so you can be aware of your surroundings. if anything, have it at low volume.

if you get grabbed on the street (this used to happen to me a lot), immediately scream, and the person will usually get startled, giving you time to get away. 

if you feel like you’re in a really bad place, call someone, or even pretend like you’re calling someone. say where you are. act like you’re planning on meeting up with them. be loud about it. make it seem like someone will notice if you go missing, even for a little bit.

also u should look up manufacturer’s coupons like damn i feel like a successful suburban mom every time i walk into cvs and save 2 dollars on my toothbrushes

tips for treating yoself

mattefairy:

body:

• Exfoliate once or twice a week.
• Let your vagina breathe - don’t wear underwear to bed unless you’re on your period.
  
• Change your pad/tampon/etc at least twice a day.
• Don’t wash up inside your vagina (aka douching) it will tip the pH balance in your vagina and you will end up with an infection, you can wash around your thighs/pubic area but that’s it, same applies with perfumes and other body cosmetics.
• Use coconut oil its good for so many things!!
• Use body butters after getting out of the shower.
• Use tea-tree oil for pimples.
• Use sunscreen!!!
• For people with oily skin - use blotting paper around your eyes and in your T - zone.
• Don’t squeeze/pick at pimples - the bacteria on your hands will only make them worse and will create more redness.
• Always use moisturiser before applying makeup
• When washing your vagina, lift up the clitoral hood and softly rub your finger along the hood to wipe away dead skin cells. If you end up masturbating, fuck it.

Hair:

• Wash your hair every 2-3 days. Don’t wash every day because it will make your head dry, try dry shampoos instead.
• Use conditioning treatments weekly in the summer to prevent your hair from losing it’s colour.
• Brush your curls with your fingers to create a more tousled look.
• Before blow drying your hair use volumizing spray or gel on your roots for more definition in your hair.
• Use shampoos that are sulfate free as sulfates dry and damage your hair quicker.
• If your hair is greasy avoid conditioning the roots, just the ends.
• Trim your hair every 6-8 weeks so you have healthy hair and no damaged ends.
• Use avacado oil on your hair in the winter to stop your hair from drying out.
• Dry shampoo is also very good for volumizing your hair.
• The best way to get rid of ingrown hair is to exfoliate.
• Avoid dry shaving your pubes, this will cause redness and spots which are easily treated with hydrocortisone cream or aloe vera.
• If you are to shave, use conditioner instead of shaving cream - you will get a smoother result - that goes for anywhere you shave.
• If you have a big ole mess in your pants try trimming your bush before you shave/wax it.
• Waxing HURTS so if you’re dealing with the burns then place a cold towel in the sore area and leave it for about 15 minutes and then apply aloe.
• If you experience chest/breast hair the best thing to do is pluck the hairs, it’s painful but rewarding.

Makeup:

• Clean your makeup brushes, regularly along with any other makeup appliances (beauty blenders, makeup pads) in a mix of warm water and a little bit of soap.
• Use a blotting tissue and then add a small amout of cream concealer onto your eye makeup to prevent smudging.
• Matte lipstick goes best with a shimmer eye makeup.
• Wearing white eyeliner counteracts the redness in your eyes.
• To make your cheekbones appear higher, use bronzer under the cheekbone and highlighter on the actual cheekbone.
• In summer if you want to avoid caking yourself with foundation - use tinted moisturiser or BB cream instead.
• Always wash your makeup off before going to bed, don’t leave it on.
• Always make sure you blend your foundation so your neck isn’t a different colour to your face.
• Clean your makeup bag out every once in a while and get rid of any products you don’t use - its cleaner, tidier and more hygienic. 
• Always make sure you have tape and q-tips handy. Tape is great for a perfect winged eyeliner and q-tips are great for cleaning and tidying up those hard to reach areas.
• Concealer works great for a base for your eye makeup as the makeup will stick to it. 
• Using highlighter and illuminators on your cheekbones, browbone and cupid’s bow for a “dewy look”.
• When using cream products like eyeshadow or blush - use translucent powder to set it in place.
• Kat Von-D lipstick is blow job proof :)
• Replace mascara and eyeliners every 3 months or so.
• Don’t share makeup/appliances for your eyes, it may cause infections like conjunctivitis and maybe a sty.
• Blot your lips after applying lipstick to avoid getting lipstick teeth. 

General:

• Change your bra every 5-11 days.
  
• Always make sure your feet are dry before putting on socks and shoes to prevent fungal infections.
• Wash blood stained clothes in cold water with 2 tablespoons of salt.
• Try your own homemade beauty recipes.
• If you peel/lick your lips it will damage them, don’t do that.
• Applying eye cream on the cuticles of your nails will make them stronger and healthier.
• Always carry tampons/pads even when you’re not on your period, someone else might need them.
• Clean out your purse!! Get rid of all that junk and you will thank yourself next time you’re looking for something.
• Masturbate. Whenever you can, it’s rewarding and good for you. (yes girls masturbate too).
• Always pee after sex/masturbation to help avoid getting a UTI.
• Bio-oil is good for stretch marks (as well as loving them).
• Save some nice underwear for yourself and just wear your dead old pants when you’re on your period.
• Buy yourself some nice underwear/lingerie whenever you can. Make sure it’s 100% cotton though otherwise you can get a yeast infection.
• Test yourself every once in a while for STDs. It’s necessary.
• Carry a condom on you, it’s not just the guy’s responsibility.
• Apply a damp tissue to blotchy, red skin after crying, it will make you look as if you haven’t been crying at all.
• Don’t let boys ruin your day.
• Use a paperclip to clip the back of your bra straps together to create a racerback bra.
• Wrap a maxi pad or pantyliner around any poking underwires in your bra.
• Wash your pillow case every 1-2 weeks to help prevent acne. 
• Cucumbers are good for dark circles and puffy eyes just place a slice over your eyes and leave for about 15 minutes.

treat and love yourself and your body will reward you!!!

How to learn a language

jellyinspire:

Tips from a language major:

•When learning new vocabulary write the meaning in your language once and the new word at least three times

•If you are learning a new writing style (I.e. Hanzi, kanji, Sanskrit, etc.) write the character at least three times, the meaning and the pronunciation once.
-do not write the pronunciation above the character, write it to the side, otherwise you won’t even try to read it.
-Learn! Stroke! Order!

•when reviewing vocab try to use the word in a sentence.

•do not pay attention to the technicalities of the grammar. Do not attempt to compare it to your own language. This will seriously mess you up for 80 years. Just pay attention to the sentence structure and make similar sentences.

•if you are learning a tonal language (I.e Chinese) or language that has sounds that don’t exist in your language watch videos of people pronouncing things and try to match their mouth movements.

•if all else fails on your tones just speak quickly.

•watch TV shows in that language and yes watch them with subtitles. But please be aware that may not be how people speak in real life (I’m looking at you, Japanese/Chinese/Korean learners)

•DO NOT BE AFRIAD TO MAKE MISTAKES of you mess up during a sentence just correct yourself and keep going.

•flash cards, flash cards, flash cards. Real and digital.

•spend at least an hour a day on it (OUTSIDE of class), if you’re trying to learn on your own you’re gonna need more time.

•talk to yourself in that language, take notes in it, set your phone to it. You probably look crazy but that is a-ok.

•listen to music in that language, while it probably won’t do much for your ability in the beginning it will help you distinguish sounds once you get pretty good.

•and lastly, don’t give up. It took you like ten years to grasp your own language it’s gonna take awhile to grasp another.

-How I learned 2 ½ languages at once.

Best Language Learning Apps

pencilpacksandyummysnacks:

Learning a new language can be…difficult. Actually, at times, that’s an understatement. I’ve compiled a list of the best apps and websites I’ve found, including a few specifically for French.

• Duolingo

This is one of the most well know websites/apps for langauge learning. It’s great for basics and beginning grammar. It can also be fun because you can earn points to buy extra lessons like flirting!

◦ Busuu

Another well known vocabulary learning resource, Busuu is great because you can learn in order of A1, A2, B1, B2. I prefer Busuu over Duolingo mainly for that reason. Busuu has tons of super useful everyday vocabulary, and also phrases are taught, which can be a lot better than singular words.

• Fluentu

Fluentu is an app where you can view videos in your target language with subtitles. They are divided by level which makes it really easy!

◦ Memrise

Memrise is by far one of my favorite apps to use for language. It has many different decks of words/phrases, and each word/phrase comes up at certain times to make sure you remember them. My favorite is the conjugations! Conjugations has been the hardest thing for me with my french, and this app has helped make it so much easier for me.

• Podcasts (Apple app)

This is a basic app, and it’s not really specific to language learning, but listening to podcasts is so helpful when it comes to listening comprehension. My favorite for french is News in Slow French, One Thing In A French Day, and CoffeeBreak French.

◦ HelloTalk

I LOVE HelloTalk! It’s a really clean app that allows you to speak with people learning a language you know that, if you want, also knows your target language. It has so many helpful tools like in-app translation and you can also set up a language exchange where you text in the first language for a certain amount of words, then the other, you actually speak in the first language, and then the second. I’ve met so many awesome people from France to Belgium to Canada to Morocco!

• Linqapp

I use this app a little less, but I still like it. It’s mainly for asking questions about the language you need help with. You can make sure something you wrote is correct and native sounding, or have someone help you translate a phrase! People respond super quickly on here.

◦ Brainscape

This app isn’t specifically for language, and the company actually has some apps for specific languages, but it’s really great. It’s very similar to Memrise, except you can create as many decks as you want.

Websites and Apps Specifically for French

• Learn French- Verbs

This is actually one of the apps specifically for language that Brainscape has made. It’s just like brainscape but it has preloaded cards for each verb tense and key french verbs.

◦ Bescherelle

Bescherelle is a website, but I went onto Safari and added it onto my home screen so it was easily accessible. I love using this app for whenver I need to know the conjugation for a verb and I can’t remember! Usually translators suck when it comes to conjugation, so this is really helpful.

• Frenchcrazy.com and frenchtogether.com

Frenchcrazy and frenchtogether.com are sites that feauture great tips and immersion blog posts! They are typically pretty funny and get me in the mood to study my french.

That’s all I have for now! I hope these apps can help you with your language studies. -Hailey

Some great language learning apps and resources.

yES now I can do more than Duolingo
