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?

Some moments from my long weekend in and around Ljubljana (Slovenia) that actually felt like two weeks. 🗺️✈️It could have been better in some ways (and I managed to speak Slovene very rarely), but I also got to see many cute places and meet some amazing people. I'll come back for sure! 🐉⛪🏞️

This morning, I completed all the exercises on this little book, whose goal is to help you learn some vocabulary in #Portuguese.
I found this booklet in a small indie library by chance, and it proved to be an effective low-energy, screen-free way to practice even when I was tired 💪📚

Some days ago, I downloaded Slowly app to find some pen pals and practice some of the languages that I am learning (while filtering out men to avoid this one specific scenario), and what do I get? This 40-year-old Italian weirdo (translation in alt text).
Mind you, I'm fucking 25! I hate all of this

This is what 15 minutes of #Turkish practice looked like today, I would have never expected to fill up a whole page in so little time, and I even made breaks to check my notes. Let's give ourselves a big pat on the back, we got this! #languagelearning

Since yesterday I have had a sudden urge to complete any bureucracy-related thing that I left behind right before going to bed. Still, my #languagelearning journey goes on!

Learning #Slovene is so exhausting, the research of learning materials takes more time than actually revising the concepts. I guess that's what you have to expect if you're learning a lesser popular language #languagelearning

I've been on holiday for a couple of days in Zagreb, a city that's all about rebuilding, overcoming adversities (including getting lost while hiking!) and, in the end, getting to enjoy stunning views. 🏗️❤️🩹🏵️
I also met the kindest people here.

May's reading choice is "Diez Mujeres" by Chilean author Marcela Serrano. I still have to warm up to it, but I'm finding it interesting so far.

I spent the Easter weekend in Interlaken, a lovely town in Switzerland located between two lakes, Brienzersee and Thunersee. Here are some pictures I took!

Yesterday I finished reading "The Strange Tales of Fukiage" by Banana Yoshimoto as my March reading. What I most appreciated about this novel was the theme of sisterhood and the exploration of the social dynamics of small, rural towns.
Have you read it? What do you think of it?
