Anyone else with a (comparably) difficult native language, who is just happy that you've learned this language as a child and don't have to learn it now? And whenever someone comes and tells you, that they want to learn your mothertongue, you just think "Ambitious, enviable. Couldn't be me though."

I wonder how much my students version of La Conscienza di Zeno differs from the original. Because in my version Zeno flees the clinic because he thinks his wife is sleeping with his doctor. So he goes home, hears her laughing from downstairs and thinks "So all is well" and falls asleep on a couch. All in the span of a few pages. Maybe your wife is laughing because the doc is shagging her good right now Zeno?! Ever thought about that?

I've been reworking my flashcards all week because I'm visiting my in-laws this weekend. If it's going to be boring anyway, I might as well be productive 😇

The downside of learning the language of a typical vacation country is that the book I couldn’t wait to read is basically 80% how to order food.

How am I supposed to study in a morning where everything goes wrong? 🙁

I haven't studied any Swedish in over a week, I just opened my Anki and omg, how does this language sound so wonderful right now?

One thing that astounds me is how we misunderstand the language-level scale so much. I always thought A2 was merely babbling about your day and hobbies but when I reached A2 in Italian I was able to listen to (slowly spoken) videos about all kinds of topics and started reading a novel. And that's expected! At A2 a language can already become a part of your life, not just textbooks and flashcards!

One difference I see between my A0 Swedish and my B1 Italian studies is, that I need a lot more break when learning Swedish. I didn't really expect that because the material I work with is soo much easier. But after 40 minutes my brain just stops working and I stare at those words like I'm illiterate.

I hate how the post-therapy burnout fucks with my learning schedule 🙁

I learn Swedish for an hour and come out of it with 100 new vocabs? Scam!

The bitter truth is, adding the vocabs by hand into your Anki does help remembering them.
