How To Create a Self-Study Schedule Part II: Casual Studying

Hello polyglots! I apologize for the lateness of this post! As you know I posted about how to create a study schedule if you are studying a language(s) intensively. Now I’m going to talk about how to study one language or multiple languages casually.

First, I need to define what casual studying even means. Studying casually means that you are foregoing certain aspects of language study in order to maintain a slow and low commitment pace. For example, say you’re learning French casually. Instead of psycho crazy grammar schedules filled with practicing grammar and vocab over and over, and quizzing yourself every day until your brain turns to pulp, you opt for a simple audio lesson every day for 15 minutes after you come home from work or school. Easy right? Yes! That’s the goal. With casual studying your schedule is freed up for other things. In addition, casual studying gives you the leisure to take your time to learn things deeply and thoroughly. Casual studying, however, implies that you are not studying so much for full fluency but for practical, everyday usage. So casual learners care a little less about learning the specifics about complicated grammar but instead want to learn how to use it in conversation by learning dialogues and repeating phrases. So how do you create a casual study schedule? Here’s what you’ll need to get started.

Revision

Everyone has their own unique way of studying, try out these different techniques and see how effective they are to you :)

Find out which type of learner you are e.g a visual, kinaesthetic, or auditory. These are ideal when it comes to which revision is most beneficial.

Use the listing technique where you memorise a part of your notes, list them down on a piece of paper then go back and review all the ones you missed. This makes sure whether all your knowledge is refreshed and learnt properly :)

Play teachers with yourself. Do this by speaking out loud and explain the content in your own words as if you were teaching. You sound mad, but honestly it works very well.

Use a mirror, memorise your notes, put them away and then say as much as you can while looking at yourself in the mirror. This helps you go through what you already know so you can look back and refresh for later.

Have a Question book, test your knowledge by answering exam style questions and all the ones you get wrong note them down in a little notebook. This helped me a lot as it prepared me for any questions i found hard while going through as much practice as possible.

Sing your notes, make a melody out of them. This is so effective and honestly gets stuck in your head like many catchy songs. Repeat short revision phrases and make mnemonics to have them effortlessly lingering in your mind.

I just want to say that this is why minority representation in the media matters. Mae Jemison was inspired to become an astronaut after watching Nichelle Nichols as Uhura on Star Trek.
