These thoughts and worries bring stress, too much stress and i can't concentrate on studying.

Hello lady or gentleman!Im Matthew,I learned english and spanish by myself(currently learning german/french)and I know that many people dont know how to start,so ill tey to give you some ground to stand on so you can begin climbing the mountain that learning a language is.

1-Select Language: Obviously you firstly need to select the language you wanna learn and there are multiple factors that can decide a good language to learn,apart from interest,such as the language's family,slavic,romance,germanic etc. And this can make it WAY easier to learn a language,for a portuguese speaker for example,italian or spanish are easier than other unrelated languages like mandarin or arabic.

2-Know your tools: Apps,Videos,A.I,People,Books,Music,Games are some of the various ways to begin to learn anything,for an instance,I began learning english when the 6y.o me went across a language barrier in Roblox,yes that one Roblox,I used Google translate and media to begin understanding english,which also made me learn it quickly to the point its even better than my mother tongue-portuguese-sometimes.

3-Acknowledge basic information on the language:

-Is this language pro-drop?(always requires pronouns or not)

-Are the pronounciations consistent?

-Does it use another writing system?

-Does it have any specific resource that is widely used?(for example the conjugation classes in spanish and portuguese of verbs ended in -ar -ir -er -or)

-Any special character?(ç,ł,ß,œ etc.)

If you keep those in mind,you re good to actually begin

4-The beggining:

Search for pronouns firstly,they are usually the backbone of any language,then verbs(present and simple past first usually are welcome),learn prepositions and adverbs,they are more than essencial,learn greetings and farewells,learn what you'll actually use or hear,yes you don't need to learn how to say unnatural things like how to call every single kind of number and colour at first.

Learning idioms is important too,in portuguese for example when someone says something surprising they normally say "Sério?"and that means "Serious?"literally translating,whilst in english you'd normally say "Really?" or "For real?" and both are far from natural in the lusophone culture.

5 Consume content actively:

Our world is surrounded by media,and being able to adapt is one of our brain's most gorgeous capacities,make yourself watch the said language's content creators,you'll end up learning lots of idioms like this because they speak the folk way of the language,not the "book way" of it.

6 Thanks for reading: I've gotta say it,I don't know if this article was as clear as I wanted it to be but if you end up trying to learn a new language and could perhaps tell an experience of yours for better texts,I'd appreciate it a lot!By the way,if you have any questions on portuguese or spanish or even english(that's weird considering what you just read)private chat's open. Thank you again!(sorry for long article)

How to become more educated / knowledgable?

I know it's not black and white but in certain areas, like anyone, I lack knowledge.

Till I started paying more attention to maps as a decision, I sucked at geography.

I don't know much history outside of big events.

I want to know how key things work like siphons, fulcrums, etc etc.

I want to know important psychology topics.

I want to know how politics work.

Basically I want all of the 80/20 of key areas of life without going down rabbit holes. I'm going for breadth or depth here as it's not going to drastically change my life in the short/medium term, I'd just like to see what I can do to be more informed.

The closest thing I've seen to what I need is the "a very short introduction" book series.

A lot of people say read, travel. But read what? Textbooks? Travel with what money etc. I'm sure they are great ideas but a bit cliche.

Any advice is appreciated!

Hi, I have doubts about what I'm doing right now, so I decided to ask other people. Well, I finished high school one year ago (it will be two years soon). And, after that, I haven't gone to any university or college. But in my country, if you haven't done that, then you're considered a loser. However, my family and I have no money for a good education, so I take free courses, for example, on programming or something similar. (Plus, I have health problems.) Also, I want to attend a university with a scholarship or something similar in another country, and I've been preparing for this. But now, I've started a YouTube channel, and very soon, I'm going to launch a startup that will help in self-education. Well, I want to hear other opinions, should I go to cheap college or try to achieve more?

If you want to improve your essay writing, try these 7 techniques that will help you improve papers and get better grades:

1. Start with an outline. Don't miss this part. Writing a structured outline helps organize your thoughts and plan what you are writing about.
2. Brainstorming. Lack of ideas? Take a few minutes to write down any thoughts that come to mind, even if they seem random. Take a walk, talk to somebody, or read examples of essays similar to yours, using blogs.
3. Write in short, clear sentences. Think about your reader. Nobody wants to read complex sentences with large descriptions. Use descriptive language and simple sentences. Avoid passive voice.
4. Use strong verbs. Make your essay more lively by swapping weak verbs for strong, action-packed ones. It adds energy and clarity to your writing.

Weak Verb: "They talked quietly."Strong Verb: "They whispered conspiratorially."

5. Use specific, concrete examples. Make your writing clearer by using real-life examples that are specific and easy to understand. Your own experience? Great!

6. Transitional phrases. Use transitions to connect paragraphs. Transitional words are like bridges between parts of your essay:

• time transition words: afterward, whenever, meanwhile, during, etc.;
• addition transition words: moreover, finally, in the second place, etc..

7)Edit and revise. Proofread for errors and refine your essay for clarity and coherence. Ask for feedback if needed.

Being a self-learner, I always struggled with wanting to learn everything but not being able to
(1) find a starting point
(2) see how the things I learn are connected
(3) manage my learning (mark the concepts that I already know so I can skip them in the future) and
(4) fit my learning into my busy schedule.

So I end up building a website (https://afaik.io/) for myself and folks like me. The goal is to learn a bit of everything on daily bases for free. Here's a few things you can do with it:
(1) Atomic learning: The minimal unit is called a "brick", which takes about 10 minutes to learn. You can go to a focus learning mode by clicking "Start learning".
(2) Knowledge Management: You can mark a brick as "learned" or "interested" to keep track of your learning.
(3) See the big picture: The map shows how subjects are interconnected (see how calculus connects machine learning and physical science as a bridge!), and golden dots (bricks) are interdisciplinary ones.
(4) See knowledge connections: A bunch of bricks make a "brickset" (think about how Lego bricks make a brickset!), and if you click the map on the sidebar you can see how bricksets are connected (which shows prerequisite relationship of these knowledge). For example, the prerequisites for RNN (Recurrent Neural Networks): https://afaik.io/nebula?category=brickset&id=GbnNbw6W&mode=dagre
(5) Personalization: It sends you daily brick recommendations based on what you learned, making sure that you learn adaptively.
(6) Follow a learning path: Blueprints is a syllabus that provides you a learning path.

I hope this is a useful tool for self-learners like me, and any suggestions and feedback are appreciated.

I've been journaling pretty consistently for the past 18 years. It's been incredibly beneficial for my mental wellness helping me understand my thoughts and emotions, especially when I'm going through stuff and need to process my experiences.

I've also been in tech for about the same amount of time. When ChatGPT came out, I became really curious about how it could enhance my journaling, considering its vast knowledge from every conceivable book and article on psychology, philosophy, self-help, etc. Initially, it was just me asking ChatGPT for insights, kind of an exploration. But this quickly turned into something bigger. I found myself developing a unique journaling method/tool that really tailors the experience to my needs. This new approach has seriously taken my introspection to a whole new level. It helps me dive deeper into my experiences and gain a much better understanding of myself. I've been using it pretty much daily and wanted to share it with you guys, hoping you'll find it useful too.

Basically, the way it works is I start a new session and jot down all my thoughts, just like I normally would in a journal. When I feel I've said all there is to say, I click 'go deeper.' This prompts the AI to analyze my writing and ask tailored, deep questions that poke me in the right spots and help me see things from new angles. It generates some incredibly insightful questions which often reveal blind spots or aspects I might not have considered, which is awesome. I continue writing and answering these questions, just like in a journal entry. When I feel I'm done, I click 'go deeper' again, and new questions come up, sparking further thoughts and so on. By the end, my journal entry is much deeper than my initial one, and I'm left with greater clarity.

Many concerns about using AI in mental health stem from its lack of emotional intelligence, potential biases, and the risk of misinterpretation. I completely agree that we're not at a point where AI can or should replace professional therapy. But this is exactly where this journaling method fits in. In this approach, AI doesn't provide the answers, direct guidance, or diagnoses. Instead, it generates thought-provoking prompts and questions based on your text encouraging deeper self-reflection. The goal is to assist introspection, complementing rather than replacing the nuanced understanding a human therapist provides.

I don’t want to directly advertise here, but if you’re curious about the tool, it’s called Deepwander, feel free to google it. Alternatively, you could use chatgpt to recreate a similar experience, though it would offer a much less tailored user experience.

I'm really curious about how you all integrate tech into your self-reflection practices. Have you used AI, or are there other tools and methods that have deepened your introspection? Would love to hear your experiences.

Campus is a space-age education concept designed to offer the millions of students who learn using the internet a space for them to access a deep pool of educational resources reminiscent of a virtual open university for all learning levels.

The dEd protocol (decentralized-Education) is project management system for self-directed learning. It is designed to offer online students the systems and tools required to created progressive, structured learning curriculums to guide serious study, not just edutainment.

To properly utilize the protocol, students are encouraged to complete the Cybernetic Enhancement Academy, a series of Mission completions and Badge attainments that guide students through the process of developing fundamental meta-learning and computer literacy skills.

Gameplay is a near-future climate-apocalypse-core narrative where the globe is approaching a systemic bifurcation that will lead us either to solar-punk future, or descend us into a fully cyberpunk world.

Players develop skill points in four areas as they advance through missions; The Mind, The Self, Cybernetics (Systems), and Abilities. Progressive levels grant eligibility for participation in prize earning competitions.

We plan to engage with educators to create professionally designed templates for self-directed learning plans, as well as finding inventive new ways to incorporate educators into this autonomic learning matrix.

We have just released the beta-version of our dEd protocol and are eager to gather feedback. The whole system is built in Notion and has a Discord bot interface, like a professional might have a Slack interface.

If you're interested in learning more, you can find our website at Campus.so, or dive right in to the Discord experience here.

We are still improving the onboarding process (among many other things), but you can initiate the narrative component by using the "/start" command in any channel you can send messages in.

Has anyone felt the pressure of getting good grades in Uni/school and just feeling super unmotivated in studying? I think throughout university I had a huge issue studying cuz I didn't have helpful profs and honestly I had low confidence in what I knew. I used to get so anxious to even answer tests and exams. It was terrible.

Through this, I felt the need to change the way I studied so I created a tool in uni to help me study better and more efficiently. Like everyone learns differently and at different paces so I tried to make something that adapted to that. I shared it with a few friends and it helped all of us out. I honestly don't want anyone else to experience the stress that I felt so a few friends and I have decided to put all our effort into putting this small tool out to the public. You can check it out here.

It's called Penseum and hopefully, we can make studying actually enjoyable.

Hey guys, I am a real estate developer who is trying to learn the fundamentals of business from scratch to brush up my knowledge so that it helps me navigate my business better. Where do I start from? Any particular platform, books, case studies, courses or YouTube channel that I can stick to to understand the management of business from scratch. YouTube has such vast horizon of content and I’m not able to the right source. Please help out a fellow learner. Thanks

Hi everyone! How do you plan your educational program when you want to learn a difficult subject? Imagine, you already have gathered all books, videos or any other material you need or you know how to google them when you need it. How are you goning to decide when to study from a book and when to do exercises, for example? And what if you have more than one subject and more than 2 good resources available for every subject?

For me personally it's difficult to learn everything from one book, I like exercises and learning from practice better, but it's easy to get disoriented when I have to plan everything on my own.
