A Cool Blog Name Here
Hi, I am Efe, an high schooler born in Turkey. And I have huge amounts of love for and interest in languages, habits, sports and other things because I can't...

Can you learn a language in 1 year?
Hello, and for the folks that are coming back, welcome back. If you don't know (yet), I have been learning languages for as long as I know myself. I started learning languages at the age of 7 with English, and now I can speak English and Turkish fluently, and have a certain level of comfort in Chinese and French. If you are coming from the clickbait(y) title, the short answer is no. Umm, well,…
The death and it's grief.
Hi, long time no see, huh? I am still standing (not so) strong. And yes, I didn't forget that I had a blog. I just couldn't find a thing to write, and it wasn't just 'writer's block', it was just that I couldn't find anything to do or write about because my life became dull. This isn't a post, this is like a rant to myself. Today, around midday, my grandfather from my mother's side went away. I…
A review of the HSK books and why I am transitioning to ACCC.
When I first started learning Chinese, I started with taking classes in my high school. They were great, and they are why I can keep continuing to learn this damn thing. The books we were using — fortunately — were NPCR. I believe before I left the school in about ~2 years, we've finished the first and the second book. I liked them, they were a classic, old school, designed to be used in classes…
Snap 1: A little life update.
Welcome back, you might have been wondering why I was gone for a long time, and why I came back now. Well, let’s just say I was running a little personal experiment to see what happens when I step away for a while. Firstly, I can't find anything to write. Lately, I picked up a lot of new hobbies like web development, building my homelab, and other tech projects… While that is fun and all, I don't…
Persistent rune storage using Svelte 5 and localStorage.
Welcome back, while I was working on my 1 st web app, dodoop , I've encountered a mind-boggling issue. I had to make a to-do list, and you can make that by just creating a new array in a state, such as: let todos = $state ([]) The problem with this approach is when the user refreshes the page, the to-do list could be, and will be, gone. If you want to make it "persistent", modern browsers like…
This is why kernel-level anti cheats suck.
Welcome back, if you are a reader of this blog, you can comfortably say that I am a Valorant player. Not a good one, but I am a player. For the last couple of days, I can't play the game. Now, this post is in no way a defence of cheating, and I didn't cheat, and this error is not about cheating, I don't condemn cheating, and fuck cheaters, honestly. Anyhow, recently I am getting an error when I…
Random Places to Learn Languages
If you are learning a language, no matter how popular it is or how weird and hard to find immersion content in that language is, there are still plenty of ways to immerse yourself and have fun while doing it. I am learning languages as long as I can remember myself, and today I am going to present to you a list of places I go when I don't know what to do with a language. Wikipedia Yes, you heard…
Snap-最近我不好
你好！最近在我的家乡有很多问题，所以我没有时间写作。今天我没去外面。我开始读一本新书，这本书叫《A Mind for Numbers》，作者是 Barbara Oakley。我好像喜欢这本书，因为我一直觉得数学很难。这本书给了我很多新的看法，让我对数学有了不同的理解。 我又开始用 Anki 了。我越来越对 SRS（间隔重复系统）感兴趣。这本书也提到了间隔重复，特别是 Anki，所以我觉得我应该在日常生活中使用 SRS。本来我不喜欢数学，但今天我读了这本书，还写了一些笔记。 最近，我经常思考什么是对的，什么是错的。很多人似乎分不清它们的区别。为什么我总是要对父母说“正确”的话？为什么很多时候，人们会撒谎？我不知道。但我知道的是，我应该继续做我想做的事，不管别人怎么说。 我回到了我的家乡——安卡拉。在这里，我很开心。但我的外公住院了。我相信一切都会好起来的。
A new keyboard, and a new setup. (Logi POP Keys review)
Welcome back, a while ago I have talked about how I will start writing (or blogging) in Turkish when I get my hands on my Turkish keyboard. This keyboard is from the times of me buying an iPad and then needing a keyboard and a mouse. I came back to Ankara now, which is where my original setup lies. I made some quick adjustments, including my Linux (except dwm. I am not going to patch a new…
