There are several means to learn a language and often the best of which is packing one’s bags and moving to a country where the language is spoken. Unfortunately, not everyone can do this. Some people take Spanish in high school only to forget it a few years down the line. Others try to teach themselves the language by listening to Spanish podcasts and following along with a Spanish grammar book. However, in order to fully learn a language, experience shows that one needs to immerse themselves in an environment conducive to learning that language.

GOOD: I want to become the best chef in the world. GOOD: I want to apply for grad school. BAD: Land on Mars. This list should contain the tasks (or sub-tasks) that you want to complete within the next 1 - 2 weeks. This list should be reviewed once per day or once every two days to stay on track. These items should be realistic and manageable with the given time-frame. Overshooting and being unrealistic about your goals here is bad because if at the end of the week you realize that you didn't meet your goals, it would have a huge negative impact on your motivation levels.
TIP: Items should be descriptive and specific. Don't overflow the list, keep sufficient amount of free time allocated for sleep and exercise. GOOD: Learn to make the special Sushi dish. GOOD: Complete the 'Basic Design Fundamentals' course on Coursera. This list acts like a temporary storage area for any tasks that are pending or any task that has an immediate deadline. Whenever you do a task that requires you to take some action after a small amount of time, add that task to this list. When you complete the pending task, just remove that task from this list. This list can be reviewed multiple times in a day. TIP: Be specific when listing the items.
GOOD: Wish happy birthday to Bob. The importance of this list cannot be understated. Use this list to document all the work that you have completed and want added to your achievements. Add to this list as you keep accomplishing the goals from your short term goals list. Keep descriptions short, yet complete. This will be your "master" list of achievements, and will easily let you add the correct and complete information to your Resume/CV at a later point in time. This list will also come handy if ever you plan to write your autobiography. This is a popular approach used by many professionals all over the world. There is an excellent post by Josh Tyler which describes this approach.
TIP: Try to write in detail, and don't forget to mention the date and/or time of the achievement. GOOD: Nov 15, 2014 - Presented a talk on "How to Achieve your Goals" at the National Management Center, New Delhi. GOOD: Oct 4, 2014 - Completed the "Design 101" course from Coursera and got a certificate of accomplishment with distinction. BAD: Developed new website. To avoid unnecessary complexities and distraction while working with the lists, I used a simple text editor called Sublime Text. I chose Sublime because it can open multiple notes in tabs inside a single window. It's more like the "Google Chrome of text editors". Plus, it has some handy shortcuts, if you take the trouble to look em' up. You can also use other online/offline note making services/softwares like Evernote, or something else that you like. I have all these text notes synced with Google Drive for access on my mobile and to prevent any loss of data. Jasdev Singh is the Co-Founder and CTO of Ubinext, a startup dedicated in developing custom cloud she hears herself. The 23-year-old Chicago native is so much more than the Latinx-songstress the media will peg her as; she is a healer, she is a lover, a giver, a full human being with a blossoming and stunning humanity. After featuring on Saba’s "FIGHTER" off CARE FOR ME, KAINA is finally stepping into the spotlight with her debut, Next to The Sun, which is nothing if not an invitation into her endearingly cluttered head. KAINA pulls out a chair for the listener, and we settle into the room of her doubts and hopes, we commune with her, and it is beautiful.
As she works through her identity, her depressive bouts, and learns to validate her humanity, we, too, learn something about ourselves. Next to The Sun is a top album of this year, of the past year, and of years to come within and out of the Chicago scene. There is so much to say about the wizened, thoughtful, and ever-so becoming KAINA, but I’d rather let her tell it. Our full conversation, lightly edited for content and clarity, follows below. DJBooth: Our readers love your voice, but they might not know who Kaina is as a woman. How would you define Kaina, the person?
KAINA: You’re starting like this, huh? I want to think that as a person… It’s hard for me to be "This is who I am as an artist," because this is who I am as a person. As a person, I try to live my life with honesty, and as you mentioned, vulnerability. Part of it is that it feels good, but also I can’t help myself. I can’t stop myself from digging deep into the things that hurt or feelings. I’m a big giver, caretaker, and healer. I truly care a lot. I am very intentional about who I am and who I interact with.
How do you make sure your humanity makes its way into the music? For me, it’s the forefront of everything that I do. If my intention as a person is to get closer to myself as a person and to understand myself better, then naturally, that will be at the forefront. It’s like identity; I can’t help that I’m a first-gen Latina, that’s what I was born as. Everything I create comes from that place. I feel very similarly about my vulnerability and my quest for honesty and validating feelings. In growing up and growing into my adulthood, I’ve learned that the most human thing is to be vulnerable and honest about all parts of yourself and your feelings.
On the LP, it just happened that way. Everything that people will hear is not a show. It’s my everyday life. I’m a young woman who thinks about things like love, but I’m also a woman of color who thinks about daily troubles of life. All of those things at once and all of it is real. I’m glad you mentioned identity because I feel like American media has just caught on to Latinx music. Talk to me about the importance of singing in Spanish. I don’t know Japanese, so I don’t know what he’s saying. He could tell me what he wrote about, and I could tell him what I wrote about. I thought there was something cool about being able to write in different languages and still being able to relate to what someone is saying.
I feel that way about my native Russian; sometimes it’s the only way I can communicate. There’s a whole range of emotions that aren’t available in English. Totally. I can even admit to not knowing that people in my community have been doing this stuff for a long time. After featuring on a major album like Saba’s CARE FOR ME, playing a major role in making "FIGHTER" a standout song, how does it feel to step out into the spotlight on your debut, Next to The Sun? I’m still in disbelief that I’m on CARE FOR ME. I’m the biggest Saba fan. I remember going to Saba shows when I was 17 with all my friends.
I would go to every single Saba show I could. I remember watching him perform at Do Division in Chicago, and it was pouring, and him being like "Who are you? You’re at every single show! " That’s a metaphor for everything that has happened to me in my life in Chicago and outside of it. I’ve always shown up for the things that I love, and it’s naturally worked out as peers or collaborators. Leading into my stuff is natural. Saba sat in on some of the early sessions of Next to The Sun, when I was unsure about it all.
"Waiting On A Day," he was there for that recording. "Green," he was there for the end of that, which is cool because "Green" is the last and newest song that I’ve recorded. I could ask questions. My 17-year-old self is in disbelief that I’m on CARE FOR ME because that album was my No. 1 of last year. Noname. We’re just honest people. We’re not scared of being vulnerable because we’re not an "industry city." All we have to offer is ourselves. It feels good to step into my own, and it’s natural. All of those things were happening to me. Saba was there when I was having doubts.
At my core, as a human, I’m all about being real and vulnerable, and I want things to feel more accessible to people, including emotions. There are a lot of feelings of isolation on this project, especially on "Ghost" and "So Small So Vast." It’s like this big room, and KAINA is just at the center of it. Where were you at mentally when making this record? Oh, Donna, you’re dragging me! It makes me so happy that you’ve said something like this because it’s been tough me for me to explain this project to people. Because at its core, it’s me in a room, telling you all how I experience my world.I was going through a difficult period.
I am a very positive person and, again, my intention is always set in really good things and good wishes for people. I want to be able to be a vessel for people to channel their feelings. When you listen back to my earlier projects, you can tell I’m young. I have so much love and good energy to offer. It got to a place as I got older, I realized it wasn’t sustainable. During this project is when I tried my first bit at going to therapy. It didn’t work out for me, because it didn’t work out, but it was my first attempt at opening myself up. So where I was at, you hear it throughout the project.
It starts with "House," which is a song about immigration, and it’s almost a prayer. Moving into "Ghost," I realize I’m frustrated and feeling stuck and feeling jaded with the world. How I simultaneously have more privilege than my parents, but I don’t have shit because of how the government is set up. The A-side is me being analytical and questioning things, and being mad and frustrated. The B-side of the album is me coming more to acceptance of allowing those feelings to live, and being honest about it. It ends with "Green," which is the destination point of my whole journey. Like, "Hey, KAINA, you’re allowed to feel all the things that you want to.
It doesn’t mean you’re fucked up, or anything. The whole project is about duality but also landing at a place like "Green," where you’re okay with the fact that there’s not a streamlined solution to your identity. For all the haze of the project, there’s power in it as well. How do you find strength in yourself? I’m a transparent person. This week feels scary and hard for me. And simultaneously, really beautiful. Part of this album and part of learning to grow up is learning it’s not healthy to think I could do all of this stuff by myself. When I need strength, I talk to my family, and I talk to my friends, and I don’t feel bad about spilling my worries. What does it mean to you, having this album out in the world for people to relate to? I’ve talked about this a lot, but I’ve told you: Everything that I talked about on the album is real. It’s either an emotion that I’ve made peace with or a situation that I’ve made peace with. In having this conversation with you, or with certain artists that I’ve worked with, that’s enough for me to hear you be like, "This is you in a room." I’m super ready to share that feeling with other people.

It’s easy to get discouraged when we’re trying to learn a difficult new subject. But according to the creator of one of the world’s most successful online courses, almost anyone can learn anything—with the right technique. Barbara Oakley, an engineering professor at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, is the creator of "Learning How to Learn," a massive open online course (or MOOC) that’s already been taken by approximately 2.3 million students across 200 countries.
