learning and then actually using a 2nd language

esp if you travel abroad a lot people always get so hyped as long as youre trying to speak the language of wherever you are. ive been some amount of bilingual (en/fr) for like a decade and i know my accent sounds like shit but people are so nice cuz the obvious effort is there also it’s fun! there’s so many good words out there. the french word for rubber is caoutchouc :D

consume french media

tv shows!!! i can't stress this enough, watching people engage in the language helps so much. after doing french for years and graduating with a delf b2, i give all credit to the fact that i was put in an immersive environment where french was always spoken around me. you can start with children's shows like Téléfrançais, and then move to your favourite show dubbed etc. that being said, nothing beats talking in french...so if all else fails, meet some french speakers to chat with, or maybe temporarily move to france 😄 i wish you the best of luck!

start a zoneout hobby

Even if you have other creative pursuits that require your brain to work, it’s fun to have one that requires very little thought or attention. I started crocheting a couple years ago and it’s perfect while sitting in front of the TV or listening to a podcast or just zoning out. Makes me feel productive even as my brain melts out my ears, and makes me feel creative even when I’m not doing any cooler, more challenging projects that require more of my energy.
