I am so god damn proud of you all. Every week I read of wins and struggles and it’s exciting and inspiring following your langlearning journey.

Everytime I get frustrated I come back to the weekly discussion thread and get that small spark of motivation that helps me push through that next pit of despair :)

    I’m getting back into learning Mandarin after a two year hiatus. I’m still very much a beginner and while I don’t find tones themselves too difficult it is definitely hard to time tones and pronunciation all at once.

    While studying basic vocabulary I’ve been learning phrases that I typically say to my dogs (“work from home” life) for fun.

      Concentrating on everyday usage is a great thing and I really should do it more. Especially stuff as simple as taking a few minutes each day to describe something around you or a thought in the language.

      That’s actually a cool idea. Sounds like a great motivation for learning and a good way to actually remember the sentences.

      Glad to hear you are getting back into it :)
