Learn languages
realizing just how different the dialect of Spanish I've spoken since childhood (Caribbean) is from the dialect I need to learn now (Argentinian) and that I need to do intense pronunciation drills because I DO NOT say all these sounds 😭

Bought a dedicated notebook for Argentinian Spanish to learn as much as I can before I go in July to visit my partner
#hyperpolyglot
practiced more Spanish and almost broke down when I was getting confused between the conjugations of the 3 types of verb endings (-ar, -er, -ir) but then pulled my shit together because I'm only doing the present tense and I need to save my tears for the subjunctive.

Do some Spanish duolingo even though I know that'll help me 0% for a visit to Argentina.

As much as I love learning, omg I have a headache from doing two modules in a morning

I'm in several language communities, and I replied to a post (in English) in how I'd naturally talk, and only after I posted the reply did I go back and reread it and realize that my second languages are screwing with my head and my native English doesn't sound so native anymore (though, yes, still fluent).😂 I went to ChatGPT for a linguistic breakdown because I notice this has been happening a LOT more frequently. (And something ultra-meta: It showed up in this post too lol)

All this tells me is I'm on this app too much lol. Also, I'm worried because I'm almost 75% of the way through the Russian course, which means to keep this stupid streak, I have to swap languages 🙀

Get attacked by asking these cats how's their life 😹 (I gave them wet food after this.)

What have we learned? That 1) I hate Russian cursive, and 2) I can't write with a mouse because I'm left-handed 🥴 (This is ridiculous, so yes, please laugh at my expense. Trust me, I'm laughing too lol)

speed run through the DLI (Defense Language Institute) course in Russian since it's being taken down in 21 days. This is one of the games.
