🧾 Intro / Reflection

Passed Bronze 4 this week for Spanish, but honestly… I’m kind of surprised how easy the test was. I might retake a harder version on the side just to be sure.

Apart from a few spelling mistakes, I made some dumb grammar errors, wrong conjugations, used del when I should’ve used de, and forgot some grammar particles. Even with those mistakes, the system passed me for the rank, which caught me off guard.

Still, I’ll do some extra practice this week while moving onto Bronze 5. As always, stacking some beermoney apps to make money online, while studying, it’s not much, but it makes learning feel a little more rewarding. 👇

💸 Earn While You Learn
I like to stack beermoney while I study languages, most of these apps are super low-effort and just give me a nice bonus on top of learning. It’s not job-replacement money, but it adds up, especially since I’ve become more introverted. 👇
