Goals for 2025: Study Korean intensively and reach level 4 on the TOPIK test, exercise 30 minutes everyday, read one Korean book in one year, and cook one Korean recipe per week! Never give up!^^

@MikeWingerii As a survivor of church abuse....thank you for your work. You helped give me courage to escape. Continue to do what God has called you to do ~

I've finally got a sustainable Japanese reading routine. I take turns reading passages from an intermediate textbook, a beginner textbook, and a high-beginner graded reader. In this way, my vocabulary grows, my reading fluency improves, and I no longer suffer burnout

@languagediary1 Just curious, how useful is it to keep track like this everyday? Did you notice any benefits? 🙂

[Morgan. @morganamooo]

the concept of marriage becomes 100x more romantic once you understand it’s true purpose — a divine vocation to die to self, love sacrificially, and lead one another towards eternal sanctification.

[Daria Andrzejewska @daria_andrz]

It sounds obvious but you’ll get further learning 2 new words every day in your TL than trying to cram in 10 new words on a Sunday evening.

It’s not about intensity but consistency when it comes to learning a language.

Even 20 minutes per day is enough for you to see progress.

[Daria Andrzejewska @daria_andrz]

When you feel demotivated by your language learning progress, remind yourself of the:

- Incredible people you’ve met
- Experiences you’ve had
- Or the knowledge you’ve gained along the way

All thanks to languages, enriching your life in so many ways. It’s all worth it.

Language lovers, which language do you love that doesn’t love you back?

[Patrick Creighton @laidbacklang]

Language learning is simple

It is just a game of repetition

The challenge, is repeating the same words and phrases over and over WITHOUT letting it get boring

[Daria Andrzejewska @daria_andrz]

Don’t force yourself to study grammar books for hours if that’s not something you enjoy.

If you find joy in watching Netflix in your target language, that will likely take you further than any grammar book ever could.

Language learning needs to be fun for it to work.

#korean slang 취향 저격 literally means ‘taste shoot.’ It is used to describe something that perfectly suits your taste 💁🏻‍♀️

이 니트 색깔 너무 취향 저격이야.
The color of this sweater is exactly my taste.

@fillefoux Always welcome~♡

Language is more than just words, language is identity, culture, knowledge, and more.

[Daria Andrzejewska @daria_andrz]

The language learners I find truly impressive aren't those who achieve fluency in multiple languages but those who sustain them at a high level over the years.

It takes true discipline and resilience to achieve that.

It's the linguistic equivalent of never quitting the gym.
