Are we feeling more the blue or the green?

*googles light pearly green highlighters bc that is def something I didn’t know I needed*

😩😩😩 bummer!! But what a kind thought tho! 💕 maybe one day the stars will align. I’m looking forward to your new book too!

Hell yeah dude! ✊🏻 I’m actually returning it to the library and getting my own copy instead bc I wanna highlight and bookmark stuff! 🤓 can’t wait to finish it!

Wait - I'm learning Spanish and swear like a sailor too! Drop the podcast episode! 😀 I've seen a few TikToks teaching swear words but I want variety!

Also, no, I'm never surprised at other languages swearing more than in typical American English lol idk why tho 🤔

I suppose the devs wanting to switch the fun > efficacy formula doesn't take priority over the business view of "the more people stay, the more money we make." But hasn't anyone equalized the formula yet?

Little Talk in Slow French is my favorite 💕

Assuming the general purpose of gamifying it is to teach you in a fun but effective way, I have yet to find a language app that does both. Not sure why that is. It’s not as if it’s impossible to make learning fun and effective at the same time 🧐 but all these gamified language apps suck at it

I am SO enjoying it so far. Great writing. Interesting stuff 👀

Oh gotcha! Bc where my mind first went was the trend of “polyglots” shouting from the rooftops that they learned x language in 72 hours, in a style that sounds like a headline from the Onion and it warps our perceptions of how long it takes to ACTUALLY learn a language

I wonder if that’s the non-US title? 🤔

I switched to @thestorygraph.com a year or two ago and never. looked. back. IMHO it is infinitely better than Goodreads. Cleaner. Less buggy. Cool data tracking. Not owned by Amazon. Never regretted changing over and also StoryGraph makes it easy to migrate from Goodreads so you don’t lose anything

I’m not 100% sure I know what you mean. Could you elaborate? 🧐

It’s, dare I say, soup-a cute? 🤭

SMALL 👏🏻 STEPS 👏🏻

Love the power of small steps! Personally, I drink probably 2 cups flavored with a packet, 1-2 regular water, and maybe another 1.5 in the form of soda. So like… probably 5ish on average.

I don’t think that “8 cups of water a day” should be taken as gospel anyway 🤷‍♀️

Love that goal 👏

Thank you so much! And same to you! ❤️🎆
