Today was devastating, but I wanted to share this interesting video by Turkishle about building the right study method to learn languages and I absolutely loved that Zeynep (the girl in the video) debunked the whole "learn like a baby" theory, finally!💆♀️

Update on Lingo Legends: it's definitely fun and motivating to learn Korean, the vocabulary is also closely related to day-to-day life topics, so it's actually useful, but I need to integrate a more practical part to fully un-block myself.
Have you ever played it?

Everytime I open the #Eurovision feed here on Bluesky, I lose a bit of faith in humanity. WTF is wrong with ORF?
ORF's director general meeting with the President of Israel should be THE open-air Watergate of Eurovision history.
Instead NO ONE is reporting on it. #eurovision

After 7 years of (almost) nothing, today I might have finally started coming up with ideas for pieces of FICTION again!
I'm being very cautious because I'm always been super inconsistent with it, but it has been sooo long since I last wrote some fiction pieces and I'm so happy!!! 🤩

Just finished practicing Turkish and, despite not having written much, it felt soo intense! The result is indeed messy, but it's part of the process, I guess.
By the way, journaling/writing some full texts is really helping me with original thoughts. How's your study going?

As you might know, I'm a huge fan of "Marry My Husband", so I ended up watching other 4 similar dramas, and I've compared them in my newest article on Vocal.
Sorry for the delay, and enjoy the article! (3,000+ words, this is crazy) #kdrama #cdrama #jdrama #blogger

Finally started my October reading. This month I'm choosing "L'événement" by Annie Ernaux. I'm about 30 pages in, and it's already so heart-wrenching and vivid.
This is also the first time that I'm reading a book in French in years!
