Streaming has been really fun! I really need to start making clips from the stream and posting them but just the stream factor has been honestly the most enjoyment i've had in a while with content

I’m through Lesson 20 in Unit 2 of Spanish on Pimsleur. … … … At this point I’m just using Bluesky as a language learning progress journal 🤣

through the first unit of Spanish.

Heh… My bad, I haven’t posted in nearly 2 weeks, so update: On November 2, I decided to subscribe to Pimsleur All Access Monthly until I have enough in my savings for the annual plan, which should possibly be as early as February. I’ve gotten through the first unit (30 lessons) and I’m going (cont.)

I found out on Tuesday 😊

Good morning! I'm up to lesson 10 in Japanese on my Pimsleur All Access free trial. I’m trying to get as much as I can done in these 7 days, and idk if this counts as part of day 3 or if it’s day 4.

Good morning! Last night I got a 7-day free trial of Pimsleur All Access, and I’m taking advantage of that by listening to a lesson per walk.

I’m the same way, but I walk 2.4 miles per walk and walk up to 5 times per day (normally 2-3 times).

I’m 91% English and Irish iirc

It’s super expensive (expensive enough that I won’t be subscribed to it until February because I’m going for the annual subscription), but I recommend Pimsleur. 頑張って下さい！

Good morning! I’m tempted to go walking again, but the blister on the bottom of my left foot is still healing. I know that the blister was caused by a holey sock, it’s not sore anymore, and I haven’t gone walking in 6 days.

Is it normal to love something because of what it has but hate something because of what it doesn't have?

I have a keyboard on my phone called traditional T9, and I love it because it has support for Spanish and Portuguese, but I hate it because it's missing Japanese support.

何でアジア人は今朝のスペイン語の投稿を「いいね」したの？スペイン語分かる？僕ハンサム？（そうじゃないと思う）ランダムな感じだよ！

Pois, aqui está. Agora tenho Bluesky no meu celular.

¡Buenos días! Por ahora no tengo Bluesky en mi celular (y no sé si quiero), pero ya sé como cambiar mi teclado al español, y ustedes sabrán si y cuando lo instalaré en mi celular.

… Aaaaand I just saw that I never said “brush-up” in this morning’s post… But I do know that I said that sonewhere…

(Part 2) stay brushed up on both, as well as working on others. Learning languages is probably my favorite thing to do, even if I’m not gonna use them IRL (there are quite a few that I’m interested in, but there’s little to no chance that I use them offline).

I’m pretty sure the vast majority of the people on Bluesky don’t know who I am, but for those who do, to clear up confusion about this morning’s post: I said that it would be a brush-up for me because I’ve been learning Spanish for 16 years and Japanese for 15 years, but I’ll use Pimsleur to (cont.)

Especially Latin American Spanish, but there's a large set of languages that I want to learn, and Mom wants to learn the Romance languages (common abbreviation is FRIPS: French, Romanian, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish).

Good morning! It's Sunday, so it will be another in-house church day where I play bass, Dad plays guitar and Mom plays piano. Also, I have decided that starting February 2025, I will subscribe to Pimsleur All Access Annual so that my parents and sister can learn languages with me.

Good morning! I heard about Bluesky from someone in a Japanese Discord community that I'm part of, so I came over to see what it’s all about, and after a couple of minutes I decided that I’d sign up.
