Oh wow thank you for sharing. It looks like your Aunt and Grandma taught you really early on, and to know that this skill that they helped you kickstart has brought so much value to your life, even decades later and still going strong, must be such a wonderful feeling. My grandma was a hand sewing champ as well (I remember it to be a big part of of her life while I was growing up). She could sew and knit, always taking garments apart and revamping them, and she could mend rips in fabric as though they never happened. I never did take the initiative to learn these skills from her before she passed, but now that I'm starting to learn how to sew, it kinda feels like I get to understand a bit more of her world :) Thank you for coming along on my journey 💫 and I hope you will continue to reap the fruits of your sewing skills, spread the inspiration, multiply the joy 🫶

반갑습니다 :> 구독해주셔서 감사합니다 💫

Thank you so much!!

Thanks for coming along and I'm glad you found those more technical segments useful! They're mostly things that I had questions for or was pretty confused about or intimidated by at first (like sewing with denim in general). And once I could wrap my mind round them a bit more, I try to present them in the way I understood it, so that it hopefully becomes a little bit more approachable for the next person. And of course, best of luck with your sewing journey as well 💛

Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yes wearing something you made yourself does have a very special feeling to it 💫

Thank you!!

When you visit we can make you something to take back 🌻(by we I mean you and me both) :))

Thank you so much! Bless UA-cam and the internet for providing all these resources and materials to learn from 😭 I think it must've been something with cutting the fabric, I probably altered some seam allowances and miscalculated there. It was funny how I cut 4 pieces to make the 1 sleeve and all of them ended up being very obviously different lengths 😆

thanks homie 💪💪 yeah honestly 6 months ago I never thought I'd be sewing, or make videos out of it at the same time, but life surprises you it seems :))

Thank you!! The faux overlock function on my sewing machine has worked great for other projects that call for lighter fabrics, but it didn't look like it was gonna hold the thicker denim together this time. Luckily, these types of services are very accesible and affordable here, and truth be told, I wasn't really aware of them either before this project 🫢

Hi!! Thank you so much for the tips :) yes, my sewing machine does come with a button hole stitch that has come in very handy for some of my previous projects! The button-sewing function as well. As per your suggestion, I think I'll get the plastic press thing once I work with more buttons that can't be sewn. Or find buttons I can hammer like the ones at the shop, those also look fun.

That sewing machine probably has all your grandma's wisdom and love stored in there, waiting for you to tap into it. Thanks for coming along with my sewing journey and I hope you'll find yours very rewarding and enriching as well!

Oh wow thanks for sharing! I think it's gonna be a game changer once you start being able to make clothes that fit you. Mindset wise (which is arguably the most important part), you probably already have the patience, creativity and attention to detail from crocheting and knitting so I think you're gonna do great with sewing too 💪 I'm so glad you're gonna start sewing!

I think I procrastinated for well over 2 years during which even when texting, I was pretty much doing guesswork of where all the keys were, until that kinda got frustrating. When I finally bit the bullet I started off with a big burst of typing practice (probably within a week?) (so that I could start to remember where all the keys were and that felt encouraging) and then slowed it down to just typing a passage a week, a comment here and there to still see progress. For me, I think it was the inital burst that looked daunting, but when I approached it with a 'maybe-just-10-minutes-today' mindset, it was a lot more manageable. When you feel like it maybe it's worth another shot!

Yeah I think the brain's pretty smart for letting go of stuff it doesn't need, so I guess through all these little exercises, I'm 'making' it more appealing for my brain to 'need' all these words and concepts I'm learning (which is to present everything in context, otherwise you're just left with vocab that sits there, lonely in your brain, not part of any other bigger neural connection gang that gets created via context). Also each time I study with the same reading material again, I understand a bit more, which feels encouraging, and motivates me to keep doing it :)

Thank you! 😊

Thank you and I'm glad you found it helpful!

Hì em cảm ơn chị ạ 😊 em cũng là đứa ham học ngoại ngữ, và cũng đi dạy ngoại ngữ nên có được nhiều cơ hội áp dụng thử cách này cách nọ với mấy em học sinh, rồi rút ra được phương pháp nào cảm thấy dễ ứng dụng thì up vid chia sẻ với mng ạ. Chúc chị học ngoại ngữ thật vui và hiệu quả ạ ^^ (mà vui thì chắc chắn sẽ hiệu quả)

That's a great idea, thank you! I don't know why it didn't occur to me in the first place. My guess is the irrational anxiety to do everything to a T prevents you from thinking rationally (and arguably, find the easier approach). I'll keep these pointers in mind next time I make more pillowcases :)

I'm glad you found it useful!! Hope you get lots of fun with the process 💪

Thank you! 💪🌻

Oh wow I have never really considered that aspect before, but I'm glad you were able to enjoy the video with the subs and that the subs served more of a purpose than I was initially aware of. Thank you for your comment, I'll definitely keep that in mind as I put out more videos 💫💛

Thanks for watching and I hope you have fun with the process!!

Thank you so much and I'm glad you enjoyed the video ! I'm definitely learning a lot from the realm of sewing 💪

고마워요 🙏 I just practice by shadowing podcasts! I don't have a speaking partner either so using podcast shadowing is basically all the speaking/pronunciation practice I get :)) I go into detail about that process in this video if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/JJcWV__C_SU/v-deo.html

@@gygox3816 어머 격려해줘서 고마워요 🫶 공부할 것이 아직 많아요. 이영상에는 제가 그냥 책을 큰소리로 읽기 때문에 발음을 그렇게 할 수 있는데 실제에는 제 말하기 반응과 속도도 아직 느려서 앞으로 연습을 많이 해야겠다. 아무튼, 그 꿀팁들 재밌게 적용했으면 좋겠습니다!

@@caddberrie 그래도 너무 잘하세요!!; 언어공부 힘들어도 우리 꾸존히 정진해요 화이팅!!🙌🏻🥰

좋아용! 우리 함께 언어를 열공합시다 💪

My bad! I forgot to mention it. It's a Brother AS2730S.

I think Korean is arguably one of the easiest alphabets to learn to read (?) But the grammar and contextual nuance is the trickier part. Also when I don't have enough brain juice I look at non-latin alphabets and they genuinely just look like shapes 😆

Repeating really is the way to go 💪Growing up I watched a decent amount of Disney classics, not too frequently, but afterwards my mom would give me the audio version of those movies to listen to, which I would play over and over again, just for fun. That prolly helped loads. Yaw also thanks for the support. I'm currently working my way through more 'formal' study material (textbooks, graded readers, etc.) and they're all currently at lower-intermediate level. I think I just really got away with the pronunciation and mimicking parts :))

I was trying my best to avoid having to memorize vocab lists by heart and this was the next best thing that worked for me 😆 Hope you have fun with it too!

You're comment just made me realize how the pitch of my voice changes a lot between languages :)) anyways, I found some lower-register podcasts here: 1. Fun Korean with Goguma: www.youtube.com/@funkoreangoguma/featured The designs are deceivingly cute but the host's voice is quite low and natural-sounding imo 2. Alpha Korean Class: www.youtube.com/@alphakoreanclass Hope this helps!

@@caddberrie thank you soooooo much🫠💖I will check them our right now!

I hope it helps your learning process become more fun!! while also getting in all the benefits of repetition hehe 💪

hehe you got me I LOVE GOSE 😆💪💎

Thank you!! I think it's like reaping the benefits of repetition without the monotony of pure repetition because you get to practice a slightly different skill each time.

I usually go for podcasts in my target language. If there are certain situations I need to prepare for, then sometimes I'd throw Q and As and interviews (around that specific topic) into the mix as well. Essentially I just pick something to matches the style of speaking I want to work towards + the content I need to use.

@@caddberrie I meant with what video you progress for shadowing not what it consists of :)

Hey! I'm not sure I get your question so do correct me if I misunderstand. If you meant exactly what video I use then I've been studying with Didi's Korean Podcast, pretty consistently for the past 5 months now. The specific episode i showed in this video is Ep 19 on Korean surnames. Hope this answers your question XD

@@caddberrie No problem thanks for your answer

I'm glad you found it helpful! And thanks for coming along :)

Lmk if you found a good one for guys 👍🏻 감사

Yeah there seem to be more podcasts created for women aren't there?I did a browse and there seems to be a couple new channels led by male hosts popping up quite recently though. They're a little on the shorter side, and atm there are only a few podcast videos per channel, but I still find them useful for shadowing practice. Or other types of content like vlogs or interviews could work as well. - TTMIK Korean vlogs with Seungwan: ua-cam.com/video/TLgAJgYqIZk/v-deo.html - Korean Eldo: www.youtube.com/@koreaneldo (brand new channel! You could probably even request what topics you'd like for the host to cover) - Korean House: ua-cam.com/video/_rMqP4GaMDk/v-deo.html - Wall Street Korean: ua-cam.com/video/_Y1SyMkFFaU/v-deo.html

Im glad you found it helpful! I'm currently using Jnotes on an Android tablet, but when I used to note-take on an iPad, I used Goodnotes5! I'd say the two are fairly similar.

Thanks for the encouragement 💫I think this might be my one-off French vid for a while until I need to use it again, but besides that, getting to learn (about) languages has been one of my favorite things to do for sure.

Thank you!! I'll continue to test different approaches on myself and my students and keep the videos coming hehe 💪

Yess exactly!! Me too. I started off translating my target language into English but I felt like I had to ween off that habit to eventually just think in the target language, but like how do you even make your mind stop doing something hmm... so I tried using my imagination, like you said, and it's kind of like watching a movie in head instead :))

Hehe I'll take it thank you! 🤙✨️

Im glad you found them useful! Hehe I'll keep the videos coming 💛🌼

What a time indeed 😆

Thank you!! Hehe that would depend on what type of English you need 🤙

@@caddberrie can you tell me how to improve english speaking?

What works for me with practicing speaking foreign languages was: 1. Lots of listening and shadowing. You could do podcasts, audiobooks, interviews, take your pick! Whatever you find fun. This way you can absorb correct and natural grammar structures, expressions, without having to conjugate grammar in your head as much when you speak. I don't have a speaking partner for Korean and this is pretty much how I practice 😆 2. Change up your material to keep it exciting for you! Sometimes I expand my speaking vocab through reading stories, song lyrics, or even musical lyrics. 3. Vocab wise, you probably have a decent amount of nouns, verbs and adjectives already, and what's really going to help bring them all together is conjuctions and adverbs of frequency, time, quantity etc. They help express nuances in our speaking and it sounds more natural! I go a little more in depth into practicing speaking alone in my 'learning Korean through podcast' video and 'saving my French in 7 days' video. Maybe those might have something useful too :) Happy studying!!

@@caddberrie Thankyou so much.

Thank you for watching 💛 Hehe maybe one of these days, we surprise Didi by all speaking like her 😆

Thank you so much for the encouragement!! I struggled with getting Korean pronunciation and flow to stick while self-studying, until I started shadowing! So now I'm gonna apply the same concept towards learning other languages as well. I just checked out your channel btw, really neat stuff for a variety of levels, especially for upper beginner - lower intermediate learns, for whom it is usually harder to find content. Subscribed!

🥹 uwu thank you your support means a lot to me 💛 i've learnt so much from UA-cam and the internet in general over the years, it was about time to add back to it and I'm happy that my interpretation of what I learnt can be of help to someone. To make a video I really have to sit down and streamline all my thoughts and experience, which is very useful for me too as a language tutor and language learner. Hehe dw I'm getting a lot out of this process too. And as long as I still have things I feel are valuable to share, you'll probably still see my videos popping up 🌼 Thanks for coming along for the ride.

Im glad you found it helpful!! Thank you for giving it a go. Do let then let us know how it goes for you 💛 Best of luck friend 💪
