Been playing duels after finally caving and purchasing a subscription which I've been very reluctant to do cause I was playing it when it was totally free.
But it's even more fun to play without learning intricate road marking or sign details, just going from flags, language interpretation and geography knowledge is soooo validating. Even more brilliant when you get somewhere you've actually been or know where it is before.
Has kind of triggered a previously unrealised interest in sociolinguistics in me cause I've always loved languages and I can tell a lot of them apart I feel like but I also cannot speak any fluently except from English. But I want to change that and also learn more sociolinguistic history etc.
Anyway im currently on a ~90% win rate but in a lower division cause I'm just starting out but its fun as hell and I'm already learning much more stuff (i.e. the street signs in Warsaw also have the same format in Łódz! Who knew? I didn't !)

My first language is Spanish but feel like I’m losing it as I get older and use it less. Played scrabble with my mom in Spanish yesterday and it felt so good for my brain

or literally any language learning app or method. maybe it’s the academic nerd in me but there’s nothing more rewarding than learning. like i Love learning new languages 🤓 so go off and get connected to others though language, au revoir and sayonara! (p.s. you should totally add me on duolingo so we can do friend quests @ babiemetal) … now realized I should’ve claimed that username on here

You get so much context by simply changing the language. It's like unlocking a new level of life. The information you know is now doubled. I love it. I love languages 🤗.

And then lying in bed until you actually need to get up. I'm a big advocate and supporter of Sleeping but also you enjoy Bed Time (not bedtime) more whilst awake

Been using beast mode, tank mode and the like. Coined Trench Mode recently for digging in + persevering to get to the end of something
