I feel drawn to gray tones lately as the leaves have all gone away! The light is certainly changing as winter approaches.
Are you usually busy during winter?
Short answer...yes! The cold weather keeps me invigorated with energy! I was raised as an ice skater and feel an affinity to the winter weather. I also enjoy taking walks through the beautiful snow.
⤑ i forgot to post yesterday, so i´m gonna combine day 4 i 5! enjoy a bunch of pictures of me reading the same book in different angles and my peace sign lol
4th December - What is an unpopular opinion that you have about winter?
⤑ hmmm… oh! winter is better than summer no cap! i don´t even have to explain it, i just prefer being cold over being sweaty and sticky. honestly summer is actually only good when you`re on the beach or on vacation.
5th December - Are you usually busy during the winter?

Deutsche Musik always puts me in such a good mood and also realigns my focus to my goals. It’s such a good motivator to fall even more in love with the language and culture. Anyone have any recommendations?? Comment below or share your plyalist! Follow my playlist!

never underestimate the merits of listening to music in your target language. it might not seem extremely beneficial, but especially when starting a language, you pick up so much vocabulary and it really just helps to get a feel of the language.
“Words never mean what we want them to mean.”
— Jonathan Safran Foer
Honestly my absolute favourite thing as a language learner is when I say something as simple as “hello” or “thank you” to someone in their native language and it makes them smile
