2-Month Tracker Printables
Hello! Here are 2-month tracker printables to help you track or plan two months at a time. The printables feature a table for each month, with a cell for each day, that you can use to track anything you want! You could use it to track your project or assignment timelines, or as a habit tracker, or something else entirely. They can also be used digitally.

Hope you enjoy the printables, and definitely let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions. Have a lovely day :)
16-Week Overview
Hello! I made some printables to help you plan and organize up to sixteen weeks. Why sixteen weeks? That’s approximately how long a semester is, so you can use this planner as a semester overview! Even if you’re not in school, 16 weeks is a good length of time to give you a big picture view without being too overwhelmed. These printables feature a row for each week and can also be used digitally.

They can also be used digitally.

How I Format and Use Flashcards
1. Less is More: no need for a paragraph to define a term, choose the simplest and most efficient one. Also, don’t include common sense things or things you know by heart, you’ll waste time and space by writing them down.
2. Sketch it Out: Sketches can be helpful in allowing you to visualize the term/concept.
3. Say it Out Loud: When reviewing through the cards, try and say the definition out loud. It will require you to think about it more, and it also helps with memorization. If I try and define a term in my head I usually speed through it and leave something out.
4. Write them as you go: Don’t sit down right before finals and try and write down every term/definition from the course. It takes forever and you will kill your hand. As you finish a chapter in the course finish that set of flashcards. You will thank yourself later.
5. Repetition: I go through my flashcards before a test maybe a thousand times (exaggeration but very close). Remember to focus on the harder ones, you’ll most likely remember the easier ones during the test.
Here is my method:
Round 1: Go through every single card. Don’t set any aside. I usually don’t know a majority of the terms at this point, I most likely just finished writing them down.
Round 2: Go through every card again, this time setting aside ones I didn’t know or had trouble with.
Round 3: Go through the harder ones I missed.
Round 4: Add the harder ones back in with the original and shuffle.
Round 5: Go through them all and repeat the process until pleased!

My Tudor/Stuart England history exam is on Tuesday and I’m definitely ready! 14 tests/quizzes, 7 mind maps, 2 flashcard study sessions, and 1 teaching session later, I’m good to go :)
Now it’s a matter of repetitive practice- permanently gluing all the content into my head.
Happy studying everyone!

Yeah sex is cool and all but have you ever started learning a language and then heard that language from strangers/tv/etc and understood bits and pieces of it, reminding you of how much progress you’ve made in the language??
Sometimes it can be tricky to know what to learn if you are teaching yourself a language. Here are some ideas for what you can focus on learning each day for the first two months of learning a new language! I formatted it so there is the general topic for the day and then in parentheses are some ideas to get you started but you can definitely learn a lot more than what I’ve written down! These are just to help generate some ideas!
This definitely would move pretty quickly if you covered all this material in 2 months so you could definitely spend more time on each topic if you need! This would require quite a bit of time each day in order to learn it all. This could totally work for a 4 or 6-month challenge where you spend 2 or 3 days on each of the topics I listed if you don’t have enough time to cover each topic in just one day!

Some language learning prompts for those of us with way too much free time right now
Der Berliner Dom, Summer 2019
我每周有演示，老师一直告诉我 “你的语法很好，句子也不错，但你必须努力提高你的发音”。让我感到很快乐，因为老师觉得我的演示很好，但我也有点担心，什么时候才能提高？今天是我最后的课，有了演示。演示完了以后，老师对我说：“你的语法很好，句子也不错，说了很清楚，发音没问题”。我这么高兴！努力了，回报定会有！（＾‿＾）
Around every week I have a presentation, and my teacher always tells me “your grammar is very good, there’s no problem with the sentences, you understand the text very well, but your pronounciation needs work”. This is good feedback, but my pronounciation is never right! Today my teacher told me the above, but also that my pronounciation is good and speaking is very clear, I feel so happy! I worked so hard, and it paid off. We got this, everyone! Work hard and you will be rewarded, 加油！

我的考试在一月之后。我要从一月初开始努力学习。我的考试又在网上了。我希望尽我所能～
Aaand that’s a wrap! I’m totally in a christmas mood lately - we got a christmas tree, made decorations, baked christmas cookies and I’m almost done with all of the christmas presents for my family and friends.
My exams are not before january. I might be on a slight hiatus until then, posting about my christmas perhaps, as a sort of diary instead of this “challenge”. I’m going to study very hard starting from early january. My exams are once again online. I hope to do my best! Thank you to anyone who joined me for my *failed* productivity challenge! (⭒•͈ •͈ )

大家好！我最近很忙，我学了很多语法。我觉得语法特别难，但是很有意义。我可以看到我在进步，这很令人兴奋！简单趋向补语，复合趋向补语，可能补语，描述补语，程度补语，数量补语，（动量补语，时量补语，名量补语）。。。我的大脑被炸了！
Recently I’m learning a lot of grammar, it’s really hard but also very rewarding! There’s so many complements in Chinese grammar, it’s really hard to remember them all! 加油！

哇啊啊啊啊，最近我这么忙！考试快要到了，我太兴奋了！I’m looking forward to try my best～我今天心情很好，我做了三个星期的作业！希望大家保持健康和快乐。(￣▽￣)ノ
Exams are coming~ I did so much work today, 3 weeks worth of homework (been feeling not too good recently..). Hope everyone are doing well!
粮食
I like grains, here we traditionally eat rye and oat, oatmeal for breakfast & ryebread for lunch. I like the Chinese name for my country, 丹麦。丹dān is a sofisticated word for red, 麦mài means grains. 丹麦～dānmài～Danmark The translation both contains phonetic and semantic (red flag & farming country) value, ～音译+意译！
