Quarantine language learning? It isn't as impossible as it seems. There are plenty of apps that can provide person-to-person interaction for practice, but Notion can also be used as a language notebook or database.

Some Language Learning Tips

Keep everything logical. Learning languages is far different from learning other subjects. It requires continuous action, or practice, to succeed. Focus on learning weaknesses over mindless repetition in your notes. Sections to include: 

โ†’ Overall goals for the week

โ†’ Complicated grammar structures 

โ†’ Vocabulary โ†’ Use Anki or toggles in Notion โ†’ prompt yourself to write a full sentence that includes the word rather than simply memorizing definitions. 

  •  In Notion, create a vocab definition database for reference.

โ†’ Phrases & Informalities โ†’ If you're in a position where you can speak with a fluent speaker, jot down any confusing phrases, slang, or common idioms they use.

โ†’ Create "word families" to visualize a group of words over a single term.

โ†’ Use COLOR and compartmentalization.
