londynwarszawianka - Glad to see that you started a new thread about your learning progress of both your languages, English and Spanish.
Anyway, I have a question about an English language: Where did you learn English? At school? or Did you finish some additional courses? - 2 lata temu zmieniany: 2 lata temu |

|
avayorica - I've never learnt English at school. I assume that around 80% of what I know I acquired through talking with natives once I moved to an English speaking country. Which, on one hand, is a good thing I suppose. But because of that I lag behind academically, and now I'm trying to catch up on the important bits.

You’ve found the time for learning vocabulary, studying psychology and also for watching the TV series on Netflix. - 2 lata temu zmieniany: 2 lata temu |

avayorica - Thank you! I'm trying my best :) I slept only three hours that's why I managed to squeeze in so many activities, ngl. But I caught up on some sleep today, back to normal :)

avayorica - My sleeping pattern is a bit messed up due to work. If I work nights then the last day of the working week I usually sleep very little, so I can go back to a normal night-time sleep the same day in the evening. The good thing is that I always sleep like a log, so my strange routine doesn't bother me :)

piotr.grela - avayorica I'm really impressed with your learning pattern. Do you use a shadowing techniques in repeating dialogues?
3 hour sleep is not quite healthy. I've got problems with insomnia I love learn and read at nights but later in the mornings I feel a little bit groggy... I have to take the sleeping pills, they are addictive, not healthy but they gave me 7 hours of decent sleep. - 2 lata temu zmieniany: 2 lata temu |

avayorica - @piotr.grela I fully agree with you, sleep is extremely important for wellbeing. I normally sleep 6-7 hours a day, and luckily I'm a really good sleeper. The best time of the day is bedtime lol

Some say that maybe it is caused by 5G antennas, and electromagnetic radiation. - 2 lata temu zmieniany: 2 lata temu |

londynwarszawianka - Thanks for adding new vocab.
I remember one from your list: ‘Defamatory’, an adjective and ‘defamation’ (znieslawienie), as a noun: He was sued for defamation by his workmate. - 2 lata temu zmieniany: 2 lata temu |

piotr.grela - Kiedyś studiowałem w UK prawo i bardziej niż defamation, utkwiło mi pamięci słowo: libel, którego wymowy nie mogę zapamiętać i wymawiam błędnie jak label - etykieta

londynwarszawianka - I omitted the word ‘libel’ but there’s a close relation between the words ‘libel’ and ‘defamation’.
Now I need to explain this thing in Polish & English as well: Istnieja dwa typy znieslawienia: ‘libel’ and ‘slander’. 🔹Libel - oszczerstwo (znieslawienie), ktore jest na pismie. In English, it’s a written defamatory statement. 🔹Slander - typ znieslawienia ustnego. It’s a spoken defamatory statement. Vocabulary related to the crime, here from an English TV show ‘Liar’ that is available on Netflix. - 2 lata temu zmieniany: 2 lata temu |

I wish Spanish was as widely spoken where I live as in the states your brother has been to. My only chance to use it is practically only when I've got a lesson with my tutor. I've tried using Tandem, but talking with strangers is not really my cup of tea I think. - 2 lata temu |

piotr.grela - I am wondering, in what language think poliglots?
Or maybe our thoughts have no specific language. Our speech is an outcome of our thoughts... There is a well-known poliglot Steve Kauffman he can speak more than 20 languages... But in my opinion in our life there is always a win-lose situation. We learn a new language but we impaire a language competency in our mother tongue, first language L1. - 2 lata temu zmieniany: 2 lata temu |

piotr.grela - There was an article about young American boy who moved to the South America when he was 3yo and came back to the US when he was a teenager. And how it impaired his language ability in the first language English L1 and his second language L2. That his L2 language -Spanish becomes his L1 language and later his Spanish again becomes his second language.

Marcin48 - Sometimes even the time spent learning is not enough. To be productive and get language skills, you need to rest, especially to sleep enough and do sport. And provide vitamins, minerals, EPA, DHA.
The state of flow is something very good when it comes to learning. "Flow is a state of mind that occurs when a person is totally immersed in an activity. It can occur during a wide variety of tasks such as when a person is learning, being creative, or participating in a sport." - 2 lata temu |

|
avayorica - @Marcin48 You're right, I couldn't agree more!
Luckily I've got this part covered: I sleep 7 hours on average, drink plenty of water, I'm on a vegan diet with a minimum amount of processed foods, take essential supplements, and I go to the gym 🙃 On the side note, I highly recommend home treadmill. When I study something which doesn't require taking hand-written notes (e.g revising vocab on eTutor) I jump on the treadmill and get the steps in while studying :) - 2 lata temu |

|
londynwarszawianka - You have your own home treadmill so there is no need to go outside and spend many hours on exercises.
Anyway, a good mindset and the quality food is important to have a healthy lifestyle, also for the brain, especially for learning processes. Now, it’s the time to recharge my batteries :) Wishing you a good learning. - 2 lata temu zmieniany: 2 lata temu |

avayorica - The two main reasons why I try so many different approaches are: the fact I don't like routine, and the amount of different goals I've got. Some people would probably say that I spread myself too thin, but this is what keeps me sane (:

Marcin48 - For me, routine is not bad. I like things which are familiar to me, even if they are not creative.
I hope time and effort put into learning will pay off. But I realize I need some kind of boosters to accelerate my development when it comes to creativity. My future development may need more creativity. You are good at creative approach to learning. I hope I will copy some of your useful methods of self-education in languages :-) Of course, slowly, at my pace... Everyone has their own pace :-) - 2 lata temu |

londynwarszawianka - Mozemy byc super z gramatyki angielskiej i miec duzy zakres slownictwa, ale to wymowa ma wplyw na to, czy jestesmy rozumiani przez innych kiedy mowimy.
Moj 'goal' na ten rok, 2023, to praca nad wymowa, na poczatek to przerabianie kursu "Say it", a takze sluchanie roznych anglojezycznych youtuberow. Chetnie zapoznam sie tez z podana strona przez @avayorica, gdyz uwazam, ze kazdy z uczacych sie tutaj ma odmienne doswiadczenia na polu nauki jezyka angielskiego i moze przez swoja wiedze przekazac cos wartosciowego dla innych. - 2 lata temu zmieniany: 2 lata temu |

avayorica - Dokładnie, można się zapierać rękami i nogami mówiąc że wymowa nie jest taka ważna, ale nie da się ukryć ze ma ogromne znaczenie. Z moich obserwacji wynika że z jakiegoś powodu jak dwóch obcokrajowcow rozmawia między sobą po angielsku i mają złą wymowę to rozumieją siebie nawzajem o wiele lepiej niż kiedy obcokrajowiec rozmawia z native speaker'em. Zawsze mnie zastanawiał ten fenomen 😄

I always try to see some trailers and it works well for me :) I’ve watched another movie “Mrs Harris goes to Paris”. Plot situated in London, in 1950, about a cleaning lady who went to Paris to buy a gown from Dior. I’ve noticed one sentence of the dialogue: You are right, ducks. Ducks - 'kochana, kochany', zwrot, ktory jest uzywany w odniesieniu do bliskich przyjaciol (BrE). - 2 lata temu zmieniany: 2 lata temu |

avayorica - Yeah, it's a very popular phrase in East Midlands and Derbyshire :) Kinda cute when people use it while talking with you. Apparently this word is derived from the Saxton word ducas, which meant a form of respect

My favourite ones are Cambridge and Merriam- Webster dictionaries. I check the meanining of the every word scrupulously and try to understand some context related to it. Different dictionaries include a great variety of sentences so it’s useful to read them all. - 2 lata temu zmieniany: 2 lata temu |

avayorica - @darkobo Thank you! :)
I think I'm actually able to tell almost exactly how long all activities took me and how I manage to do them all. Revising English vocab took me just over an hour. I was a bit lazy in the morning so I did that while still chilling in bed. I listened to the audiobook while doing make up and prepping breakfast. As mentioned in the post, that took me 47 minutes. Then, prepping for the pronunciation session took me also around an hour, while I was at home. That included thinking what I actually want to say, recording myself a good few times, and writing an email. - 2 lata temu |

avayorica - Writing an essay and revising Spanish vocab were both done on a break at work. My team and I always try to squeeze in two 1-hour breaks when possible. So I was revising vocab while eating and writing the essay after I was finished with food.
And I listen to ecuadorian radio stations while driving to and from work, which takes me an hour altogether. So all activities took me less than 6 hours altogether :) - 2 lata temu |

Thanks in advance:) - 2 lata temu |

avayorica - In a nutshell - the best carbohydrates are complex carbohydrates, which are also fibre-rich.
Some of the foods made of complex carbs are whole-grain pasta, rice and bread (bread can be deceitful as it can be brown in colour but made od plain flour, so you need to read the ingredient list and look for wholegrain flour), legumes and vegetables. Fruits are also healthy carbs. They are classified as simple sugars, but because they contain fibre they are not digested the same way as refined foods, so they are totally healthy to eat without any restrictions. - 2 lata temu |

This course gives me CPD points, which means that it's targeted at people who want to continue their professional development. I'm certified in personal training and as a nutritional advisor, so I've done Eating Psychology to expand my knowledge, and I'm planning to do a few more courses. The courses which give me CPD points are done online, personal trainer and nutritional advisor ones were done in person. - 2 lata temu |

avayorica - My long-term goal is to study dietetics at uni, that's why I'm currently doing A-levels, which are needed to study for a degree.
Not gonna lie, it's hard to do it all as an adult. Working full-time, studying and trying to find time for other things. And it's gonna get even harder once I go to uni, especially because of this stupid inflation. But the job I currently have, even though it's well-paid, is not what I wanna do at all, and nutrition is my passion, so I want to pursue it :) - 2 lata temu zmieniany: 2 lata temu |

londynwarszawianka - Thanks for answering me. It’s good because you’re a trainer and advisor as well so you can advise someone about a proper diet.
I have a question: When is the best time to eat fruits, before meals or after? Thx :) - 2 lata temu |
+1 |
|
avayorica - I really wouldn't worry about the timing for eating fruits. Once you start restricting yourself, thinking whether it'd be better to eat in the morning, or in the afternoon, before or after a meal, on its own or with other food, you'll end up restricting yourself and will eat less of it than normal. Fruits are great and should be eaten whenever possible. The only time I wouldn't eat them is right before bedtime, but then, I wouldn't eat any kind of food right before bedtime. This is the time for the body to rest, not digest :)
