In this video, I go around Singapore, finding some similarities between the languages. It's very short but a special memory to me as my mom was behind the camera.

Get a book at or above my level 2. Read one page and write down key phrases 3. Underline new words 4. Look them up on Naver dictionary and write example sentences if necessary 5. Mark words I need to memorise for daily conversationHow I take notes during an italki Spanish lessonLindie Botes2022-06-22 | πHow I take notes during an italki language lesson
I have conversational lessons so this is a bit different from what a structured grammar lesson would be like. This was a Spanish lesson of 30 minutes πͺπΈ
1. My tutor types all the new vocabulary on Skype for me 2. I only write down specific words I spoke wrong, or entire phrases that are short and helpful 3. I don't care how messy my page looks, I just want to get info down quickly π₯Ί 4. After the lesson I write down the vocabulary list from skype and highlight the important words β£οΈ 5. I also rewrite some full phrases if I feel I need to reinforce them and clean up my notes a bit, but generally my language lesson notebook is messy.

This interview was a massive milestone for me, and one that I was very unprepared for, being a beginner! It was challenging. Believe me when I tell you that there are parts in this video where I didn't understand entire phrases and hoped I could make out the gist of it! This is encouragement to myself to keep going.

Just popping in with some updates on how things have been going with my Hungarian, Spanish, and the fun we had at Polyglot Conference last week. This video is in Afrikaans for a few reasons 1. Some people have been requesting more multilingual and more Afrikaans content 2. I haven't made an Afrikaans video in ages 3. I love my home language so why not? 4. Why even have language channel if I mostly post in English? :P
Sorry for being so inactive on YouTube and sorry for this short video - it has been so busy! Hoping to start posting more again soon. How are you all doing? π
