Free Writing Resources

litteratureaudio.com is an amazing website where you can listen to audiobooks in french for free!

i literally just discovered it so i'm not exactly sure how it works, but it seems like the recordings are uploaded by people who just sign up and you could probably upload your own if you wanted to? (please correct me if i'm wrong).

i just listened to one chapter and it was really good!

5 programming languages in 5 weeks | #5in5weeks Coding Challenge 💻

Hiya hiya! I wanted to create a challenge for myself but thought why not share it with other people! I decided I should dip into learning a bit of the programming languages I wanted to learn but always said “I’ll learn them later!” Later might never come with how busy I have become these days, so learning just the beginner stuff will suffice for now! And that is what the challenge is!

The challenge itself does not only have to focus on programming languages (I only said 5 programming languages for the people who are really new to programming or only know 1 or 2 languages) but the challenge can include frameworks and libraries.

Example programming languages:

☀ Java

☀ JavaScript

☀ C / C++ / C#

☀ PHP

☀ Ruby

☀ Python

☀ GO

☀ Pick 5 programming languages you want to use for this challenge - bonus points if you never worked with the language in the past

☀ Learn the basics of each language e.g. syntax, what environment to work in, learn how to print, basic maths, etc

☀ Learn each language for 7 days - it does not need to be 7 days in a row (those who are extremely busy) but bonus points if you do 7 days, 5 weeks consecutively

☀ Use the hashtag #5in5weeks or #5in5WeeksCodingChallenge - to track your progress for your blog and for others to see on Tumblr (or anywhere really)

☀ OPTIONAL: you can include pictures on your posts

☀ OPTIONAL: on the 7th day of each language, build a simple, basic project! You can share it on your post, if you wanted

In the posts, you can talk about what you learnt about the language. If you wanted, you could include the resources you used to help you learn. Talk about what you found easy to understand and what was hard to get the grasp off! But to be honest, you can talk about anything!

If you choose to include the mini project at the end of the week, you can talk about the project, again including the ups and downs!

These prompts are completely optional! But I will definitely be using them~!

💌 Day 1: What are you most looking forward in learning [insert prog. language]?

💌 Day 2: What are your three goals with learning [insert prog. language]?

💌 Day 3: How do you print “Welcome to Earth!” in [insert prog. language]?

💌 Day 4: What has been easy so far from learning [insert prog. language]?

💌 Day 5: What has been difficult so far from learning [insert prog. language]?

💌 Day 6: Favourite topic so far from learning [insert prog. language]?

💌 Day 7: Will you continue learning [insert prog. language] after this challenge? Why?/Why not?

I really hope I can complete this challenge! I really want to try some languages I have been scared of continuing or trying, e.g. C++...

Again, this challenge is more for me to track my progress but anyone else can join!

That's all and have a happy day programming! ♡

Introduction and Masterpost

Hello! I’m an A-Level and aspiring law student who made this blog for two main reasons:

1. To document and share my research into the all encompassing term ‘law,’ as it’s something I’m very interested in and want to keep up to date with.

2. To simplify various concepts of law, so that (future) law students and non-law people can all understand them easily. I believe that no matter how many laws are passed/policies formed, they will only remain words on a sheet up paper until everyone fully comprehends their implementations and how it affects them.

[Right now (August 2021), many areas of the blog are empty, but I am working on filling all of the sections I have set out.]

Building your knowledge

If you're like me and want to know things but get easily overwhelmed by the giganticness of the things and don't know where to start: THIS series (Big Ideas Simply Explained by DK) is a great starting point. Also, all the "For Dummies" books are awesome.

hii which resources do you use for studying norwegian? like which books websites etc? i am also trying to study norwegian but i struggle with finding resources so :(

Hei hei!! I remember answering a similar question a few years ago! I'm happy to share all of the resources I use again 💌✨

These are the textbooks I use:

Colloquial Norwegian by Margaret Hayford O'Leary, Torunn Andresen

Short Stories in Norwegian by Olly Richards

Norsk På 1-2-3 by Elisabeth Ellingsen, Kirsti Mac Donald

These are the apps I use:

Duolingo

Drops

Memrise

These are the YouTube channels I watch:

Simple Norwegian

Norwegian Class 101

These are the websites I use:

learnalanguage.com

101languages.net

mylanguages.org

50languages.com

One thing I like doing when I practice a language is trying to bake or cook from the recipes in my target language! Here, you can find many recipes:

meny.no

matprat.no

godt.no

I also try to watch some random vloggers and listen to some music!

Here, you can find the playlist I made for Norwegian on Spotify

Hope this is helpful! If you ever want to practice or chat, I'm always here! 💌

If you're applying for office jobs and you're lying about being proficient in Excel (which you always should bc nobody knows anything and google is free) a handy video to give you the basics on Excel's functionality is Joel Sposky's You Suck at Excel Video. It's about an hour long and gives you enough background info to know what people are talking about when referring to Excel, and from there you can do your own further research. There are also handy little guides and notes people have taken on the presentation that go over the highlights here and here <3
