Yeah out of the two, Tandem is, in my experience, also the most "dating-ish". However, I always end up finding people, it just takes a lot longer.

I have tested AI before and it's great for grammar explanations and vocabulary but I miss the warmth of a real conversation or mistakes that natives make haha!

As often as possible! I remember words better if I look them up in a paper dictionary. Moreover, I always end up taking a look at other entries and I feel like it's nice way to expose yourself to other words.

They often believe it's a talent that I have, completely ignoring the thousands of hours spent learning 😅. Other than that, I'd say they're pretty indifferent, they see it as any other hobby. A hobby that comes handy in some situations/abroad.

To be fair, the way languages are taught in Belgian schools is ridiculous. I bet that those who speak good English have learnt it outside of schools. Anyway, they will have to learn Dutch/French at some point because many jobs do require FR-NL fluency.

Fair enough! I kinda plan the same but my progress with Finnish is a lot slower than I had hoped. Estonian is definitely on my list, it's just a matter of time ☺️
