Thank you for your suggestions, and specifically on the microphone one. I wanted to get a new one but I was having some difficulty choosing a good one for me. I will look into this. And thank you for your nice words!

let's go! if you wanna share when you're finished send a text to email or social media (check last line of the post)

1) Interesting note, I hadn't thought much about it - I don't know much about labels, the only one I follow is 4AD and what they post, I listen to. However, they're not that talked about.

2) I'll have to look into these - thanks for telling me!

3) Unfortunately I think playing simple chords in a band, when you and the two other musicians are 17, doesn't really qualify as being quite the musician ahaha thank you still!

hey, thank you for noting! i'll fix it right away. this is my first time using medium as well. I think i might abandon the account and repost the story on my blog.

thanks again :)

I'm interested!

Just created a brand new empty one, i'm setting it up, join whenever whoever

After reading most replies and checking out links I have now way more insight on this.

Thank you all.

I agree with everyone who said that a good system is just the act of writing down by hand, and how it helps you comprehend, verbalize, and interiorize. I have done this up until now, and it works for me, and as most said I also never had to/could re-read these kind of notes.

That being said, I want to mention My objective - something I left out of the original question, and as @gdubs reminded me, is quite important.

Although taking the kind of notes i mentioned above worked, this semester I want to attempt writing notes that if shared could theoretically help colleagues of mine out. I want to develop a note taking system that I could maintain for a semester, very honestly, because I want to experiment a radically different approach from what I've been doing until now, mostly for the sake of experimentation.

What most resonated with me from what I read, what I've concluded meanwhile, and i'm going to attempt the next months is - Reviewing my notes everyday, and possibly writing a "conclusion/summary" - Using pen and paper during classes, and transcribing to the computer after college - Create my own system - (I really enjoyed reading about Niklas Luhmann's System) - Sticking to this system for some time

And then i'll probably publish the workflow I ended up developing, along with the ideas i currently have on this turned into an actual project.

Thanks again. ~romes

This is a very good comment. Thank you for asking, I reflected more than I had on it. I agree with you fully. I'm going to get in context on the thread now, but, basically, I want to get the most of this semester's classes, and share useful notes with my colleagues

i publish the albums i like most along the month. if you like what i listen to, you might like to check it once in a while.

also, the project is public on github - make your own version of it https://alt-romes.github.io/albumsofthemonth/

perhaps emotchi

yes! nice! i will soon attempt to read a simple book like maybe literally The Little Prince

haven't unfortunately watched a lot of those the past days but will look for what you recommended!

oh! definitely going to check that out. thank you!

Both practice and theory should be part of learning, refer to an earlier comment of mine for how i'm handling that

I agree that you it would be very hard to know a language approaching it from a completely technical standpoint...

In sharing this link I'm not advocating a total technical approach!

As for exposure/absorption you are completely right, I have attempted to create a mini Germany head space.

What I'm doing and recommend to whoever interested:

- I switched my Phone's language to Deutsch. When searching the web I end up with results in German that I try to comprehend if I have time: looking up the word on the translator (and less often on an online german dictionary - which i should be doing more)

-I started listening to songs in German (I came to like the first albums by Tocotronic)

-I have joined a discord server titled "German Learning And Discussion" (should anyone want to search for it) , if I have time at night I join a call with a couple of natives and learners.

-I check Duolingo's stories and exercises now and then, although not my favourite methodology.

You're right! The book does not address the second difficulty at all. I agree that vocabulary is important, and reading a couple of paragraphs is in fact really productive (thank you for the link suggestion btw), however, in my opinion, having the gramatical understanding of the language will prove really helpful in reading. There are subtle changes in words depending on what role they fulfil in the sentence; trying to "just" memorize them without correlating it with the sentence aspects will be harder than to understand the wholeness of the process. Also, understanding how German builds much of its vocabulary leads to learning more vocabulary faster!

I will try to fix this soon

I've given some thought to it, and it is a good suggestion. If not more, the next round will be played like this.

I am working on this now, do you think the webpage would lose strength if it had an ad? I could use it for the server payment

As of now it is not being used at all

i might make an about page when i get home. the intrigue and the suggestion to interpretation of the website is part interesting, i believe

Hm, how would I look into that? Does it have a log you could share with me? And is anyone else getting this kind of warning?

this is an awesome idea, for a handful of different reasons. "A feed of the present". The post got my attention because of the domain name. Perhaps including your description "A feed of a present" would get more deserved attention
