Hey! I'm Liz from Germany, I speak German (duh), English, Italian and Spanish and I'm learning Polish (currently on pause), Czech and Dutch. I hope to find some sense of community here on #langsky :)
Happy new year to everyone!
I would like to try tracking my learning again, does anyone have advice on how to track without burning out?

I've had the first Tandem call (Czech-German) in.. I don't even know how long, many months! It feels good to be back, even tho it was a boy uncomfortable because I was very slow.

Let's normalize this please
❌ "We're meeting on Friday, I'm free from 5."
✅ "We're meeting Friday, in front of my house. I'll be there at 5:20."
❌ "I'd love to talk, but I'm busy.”
✅ "I don't feel like talking - I prefer texting."
❌ "It's okay." OR (silence)
✅ "I'm upset. I need some time off, I'll get back to you."

I used to be pretty bored in my Czech class because I did it before - but with a faster pace. Now I had to skip the last 3 weeks and I'm overwhelmed because I'm behind. It's still stuff I learned before but I'm not really enjoying Czech at the moment :(

Hot tip: if you don't speak your target language too well yet, just learn some big words and throw them into your sentences so people think you're more photosynthesis. #langsky

It's part of it, I think. Since I came back to 'real life' I've been struggling with it..

I’d like to increase the visibility of us, neurodivergent language learners and show that our language learning is really not a reflection -> decision -> action kind of thing.
It’s mostly about the mood. Here’s an example:

Polish has been on pause for a while now but I went to a Polish store to get my favorite Tymbark drink today (malina mięta!) and I was surrounded by nothing but Polish (other costumers and employees talking, Polish radio, all the signs written in Polish etc.) It's been a fun experience! :) #langsky

Wait...does that mean "try thinking less" is just a phrase I always took too literal?

The best part about doing an assignment last minute is realizing it could have been fun if I had started earlier. But I've been so overwhelmed and still haven't figured out how to work full-time and finish my master's degree before it finishes me, tho.
