🎥 Speaking French:
🧾 Intro / Reflection
Passed Silver 2! I’ll probably say this every week, but I’m still surprised I’m passing French. For some reason, it feels like I don’t fully understand the language, yet I’m somehow showing that I do.
This week was easier since there weren’t any complex grammar rules, just opinions, comparisons, agreements/disagreements, and explaining why. The test went smoothly. I’ve been pushing myself to write longer responses than required, just to build endurance and confidence.
That said, I really want to do more conversations and improve my pronunciation. I’m hoping to find someone or a group to practice with, even though I’ve been more introverted lately. Hopefully that’ll boost my confidence in French.
Next week is more practical survival stuff: making reservations, restaurants, and travel-related conversations.
💸 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. 👇
