I want to learn drawing to do urban sketching. Urban sketchers make it look so easy! Like right now I am learning by trying to sketch images, but my proportions are way of... I have a long way to go

A few day off can be so refreshing! I really needed the Easter holiday!

Ok, I just started watching Cure Dolly for Japanese grammar explanations. I could kick myself for not doing it earlier! It makes so much sense now. Really helpful so far.

Danke! Es freut mich sehr, dass der Podcast so gut ankommt!

Anywho, there's no better time than now to put your ideas out there and invite other people to do things with you. Might as well try. You don't have to know everything before starting. You can just start.

I have been in a language learning rut the last month, but now I am getting the motivation back!

I don't have time for all the things I would like to do and like to learn. Mainly because if I actually have time I just sit around aand watch random movies...

Why is getting back into the flow of language learning after a holiday so annoying...?

Frohes Neues Jahr! 🍀

Merry Christmas Everyone!

What are your goals for 2026? 🌟 Learn more Japanese 🌟 Take more Photos/Videos 🌟 Continue DeutschFluss Podcast (+Youtube) 🌟 Do one Micro Adventure ~every month

I bought a notebook with I believe 250 pages and my 2026 plan is to fill it like a journal but in Japanese.

Might have just bought a new camera 👀 A Om5 Mark II. My Birthday/Christmas present for myself.

Currently debating which camera I want to buy. Guess it depends on which model my local second hand options have first. After all a decent, small M43 camera costs so much.

I have set up Yomitan and Asbplayer on my Android recently. Didnt have the chance to really dive in and figure everything out yet.

Currently sick - forced break from my Japanese learning... I am behind, was planning to finish Genki 1 this year and not sure if I will make it.

So, it's official. I have around a year, before I will go to Japan for ~4 month! Meaning I have ~1 year to better my Japanese as much as possible!

So after ~1,5 years of learning Japanese and feeling stuck, I decided to start Genki, I looked at it at the start but it didn't click. Now it somehow feels better. Maybe also because I have a Japanese person to do some exercises and ~1 year before I maybe will go to Japan for multiple month!

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

I just published the 50th episode for my podcast: "Deutschfluss - German Podcast for Beginners"! Thanks to all the language learners who listened! I am very surprised and grateful about the amount of listens so far. Here is the link to the latest episode: open.spotify.com/episode/7KIG...

I have gotten an introduction to my woodworking clubs Tormek T8. Now I am ready to sharpen my carving knives - hopefully it will turn out better then when I do it with sandpaper and by hand!

I have gotten so busy in the last few weeks and will be in the next few weeks... I think I took on too much 🙈

So if you had one year to learn Japanese to a relatively decent level (say start of N3), what would you do? I have been learning Japanese focused since the beginning of the year, but feel my methods are really not the best.

What are some super beginner friendly projects for woodworking? #woodworking

Just joined my unis woodworking club. Now have acces to a lot of tools, but absolutely no clue...

Forgot to post for a while. After the holiday, I had a hard time to get back into a rhythm. Now I'm starting to be more consistent with learning Japanese again.

Some small beginner carvings. Just need to paint them.

LRT: I do want to reiterate: I learned Japanese from scratch, starting at 18. A lot of people scare themselves out of learning it or another language as adults thinking it's somehow impossibly tough if you miss that window when your brain is more "impressionable," but it really isn't.

You don’t build writing fluency by waiting until your sentences are perfect. You build it by practicing, even when the words feel awkward. I see you, fellow perfectionist 👀 #langsky

Working with Teuida shows me how bad my 'r' pronunciation is in Japanese 🙈 I know better but my muscles don't know yet...

Next week I am going back to work, going back to the day to day. So I can get back into regular and more intense Japanese learning. Only did some Anki and Teuida the last few weeks because of vacation. Needed the break. But I didn't really feel progress. Now, I am itching to do more again.

I have too many hobbies! I don't want to stop any of them, I want to do more!!!

First easter island head carving. Went well, but will try again to do it better!

And there goes two weeks of holiday... But I managed to learn knive sharpening and did some carving.

First time trying to sharpen my woodcarving knive. Messed up, but think I fixed it. The knive is sharp, but not sharp enough. I really need to learn the angle...

I am on holiday right now, so making new videos and pictures for my German comprehensive input YouTube Channel.

I downloaded the Teuida app three days ago. And finally doing some speaking. It is nice, especially for the speaking confidence!

True 😂

My allergies make me soo tired! 🙈 I have no brainpower to study Japanese...

First summer in the apartment and I realise it's like a sauna. It heats up so easily, but no real good way to cool it down 🙈 Its like 5° warmer than outside...

Already have 20 episodes out for my podcast DeutschFluss. 🇩🇪 It's for german learners interested in some easy listening. Thanks to everybody who listened!

I started reading Easy Japanese News. I'm slow, but it feels very helpful! #langsky

I want to start wood carving again. But need to wait a month to get my stuff from my parents 🙈

Mine is language learning. I can talk a lot about this!

Soo... I have been starting a Podcast for people who want to listen to some easy, clear and slower German with simpler vocabulary and grammar. It is called DeutschFluss and I could use some feedback! #langsky

I hate to say this, but I need to do more traditional language learning for Japanese. I focus too much on Comprehensible Input recently, cause its just so convenient! But I need more grammar knowledge and possible look for a tandem partner to speak as well!

The best thing about language learning is, when you have been studying for a while, and suddenly you notice the progress. While the process is slow, I always notice it at one point and suddenly I understand. #langsky

Been drawing some more. Here is a simple field!
