DROP APPS BUT ALSO LANGUAGE TRANSFER

Look learning a language isn't convenient, putting in the hard work in a textbook is so much better sit and study for 30m-1hr every night you'll learn more in the first chapter than months on the apps. Because why would the commercial apps ever want you to learn the language and stop paying? Language transfer tho is a free and non-profit app designed by linguists if you really need an app though. Textbook for Japanese is Genki 1 and hiragana for beginners

The Most effective of the apps i’VE DISCOVERED IS LANGUAGE TRANSFER imo, but limited language options

Completely free audio-format lessons that prioritize understanding over thoughtless memorization. It’s just one guy I think, hence the limited language options so far. He’s a great teacher. The languages offered are Spanish, German, Greek, Swahili as complete courses, also intro courses for French, Italian, Turkish, and Arabic. Hope you’re learning one of the ones listed lol

eye contact

something/anything happens in public, and you glance over to the closest/whoever person next to you, and it's a "did you see that" kind of eye contact that incites an emotional response, sometimes leading to a conversation, sometimes just a smile, the kind of connection that can spontaneously turn the mood of a day around and i find that so so fun and beautiful

journal about your idea of a perfect day

gotta visualize and build what we desire, and writing for me is a good test of actually knowing and grounding myself through the whims of distraction i find myself engaging with
