K Fardell @fardellk.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Watching 'The Great ADHD Myth' so I can judge it for myself. Not even halfway through, and I feel like I'm going insane, there's so much shoddy work One child does not a study make So many statements which boggle the mind Almost no counterarguments, and the lightest ones get an immediate 'but' 100

Reposted by K FardellGwen 🏳️⚧️ @cynderglow.bsky.social · 08/05/2026At this point I've dropped all other apps to focus only on MaruMori for now. If anyone reading this is interested in learning Japanese, I warn you'll probably want "premium" after the two week trial but I'm currently wishing I had just started with this app and recommend it. 3165

Reposted by K FardellJapanese Talk @japanesetalk.bsky.social · 02/09/2025This is why I get mad when people say it's easy and imply that people who don't pass N1 after a few years aren't good enough. As Dr. Robertson says, the JLPT isn't the only measure of Japanese ability. Speaking, reading, and writing fluency are different from test taking ability. 4342
Reposted by K FardellJapanese Talk @japanesetalk.bsky.social · 02/09/2025This is really dumb. 1. Thinking getting N1 in 1-2 years is an "incredibly attainable" goal is dumb, because it's actually impossible for the vast majority of people. 2. Belittling people who learn a certain way is dumb because everyone's different. We can't all get fluent from Anki and grit. 8494
K Fardell @fardellk.bsky.social · 18/07/2025Slow progress in learning Japanese. But I have just a little bit more to go in Marumori before I finish the N5 content. Finding most of it is sticking, and with every lesson, I'm now getting further and further than I did in my first attempt at learning. 040

All content is written and checked by humans, a mix of natives and advanced non-native speakers. Our artwork is also made by a very talented illustrator who is part of our team!" 613343

K Fardell @fardellk.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Just finished the Cognitive Load Theory book from @teacherhead.bsky.social's In Action series Really glad I found this in my ITT year. I've had training on CLT, and this has helped to expand on it, deepen my understanding, and given me ideas that I can hopfully act on in the classroom soon 051
