I neglected my language routine during the Christmas period - tomorrow I'll start bringing it back

Damn, I was looking for some Indiana Jones forums online and it turns out the biggest (and probably the only reasonable) one is German. Is this a sign for me to dust off mein Deutsch? 👀 Too bad for me 😆

今日川柳と短歌について読みました。どうやら俳句より川柳と短歌のほうが私にとって適切らしいです。でも、実際これはちょっとびっくりしています。詩が好きではないと思いましたが、日本語の短い詩の種類に自己を見つけたらしいです。😳

今日俳句にとって読みなした。初めて俳句を読んでわかりませんでした。でも、そのあと俳句が詩より写真の方のようなものだと読みました。それから、自分で書いてみて分かり始まったと思います。実際、好きになったと思います。毎日俳句を書こうとしようと思います！すごく楽しいですね！ #langsky

After watching Indy Jones series for the first time (don't judge me 😅) I decided to play Great Circle. Haven't left Vatican yet but I already love it. It gives me such old AC vibes parkour-wise 😌 Ubisoft should be learning from it. The only thing I miss in this game is photo mode 🥲

My language goals for 2026 are simple - reach at least solid B1 in both Japanese and Turkish so I can somewhat understand native content and produce something more complex than baby-simple sentences with repeating vocab 😂 #langsky

Last week I bought an Outlier addon to Kanji Study on the EoY Sale and I must say I love it. Being able to see specific components of kanji with division on sound, form, meaning and empty components, as well as to quickly find other kanji with the same component makes learning much easier #langsky

Dnes jsem konečně dospěla k tomu, abych začala konečně říkat, že mluvím česky. Ano, moje čeština není dokonalá, není stejně silná jako angličtina. Ano, pořád dělám chyby. Čeština je pro mě ale přirozená, i když občas chybí mi nějaké slovo. Tak od dnes říkám - mluvím 3 jazyky 🇨🇿 #langsky

The biggest win of the first month of my new language learning routine is managing to get back to being nerdy about my languages. Because there's nothing better for staying motivated than being genuinely curious about every piece of the language 🤓 #langsky

9 days of progress of my new project 😁

I'm starting to think it's actually quite possible to replace Notion with Obsidian for my use cases. So far the biggest pro of Obsidian for me is its responsiveness and lightweightness. This is especially important while using it on a tablet

畳水練 [たたみすいれん] [humorous] useless book learning; knowing the theory but not being able to put it into practice; swim practice on a tatami mat

I started experimenting with Obsidian because I feel like using something other than Notion could be refreshing

An underrated way of learning a language: learning prayers in your target language. Sure, some vocab might be slightly outdated but otherwise it's still part of the language and a curious side activity 🤓

終えたよ💪🏻

Finally, I brought myself to writing a Journaly entry 🥳 journaly.com/post/49325 #langsky

As a part of my new language studying plan I dedicate some time on Sundays to go through my most troubled items on Bunpro. Today was the first day and I already notice that analyzing those items more mindfully really makes a difference #langsky

Meanwhile me who stayed awake till about 2am watching the whole Chernobyl series in the hotel before my N5 exam a few years ago 😅 Fortunately I didn't feel tired and passed 😂

If I want to finally move on from A2 in Turkish, I need work on my vocab more. I decided to start with gathering and reviewing about 200-300 most important verbs as the verbs are the staple of every sentence and I struggle with them the most #langsky

I found a website that show you some books according to your Japanese level. #langsky #english

I tried playing Scrabble in Turkish. It was challenging but still fun. I kept the dictionary in pop-up so I could look up unknown words (that means the majority). I'm sure I'll repeat it more often! #langsky

Recovering from infection resulted in new motivation for language learning - yesterday I made myself a rough plan for boosting my Japanese and Turkish. While it still needs some polish I already try to incorporate some of the activities into my routine 💪🏻 #langsky

It's going really well imo. I have 2 months left to complete it within 1 year so I wonder if I'll make it 😏

This proves I must be damn good at guessing because in the listening part I hardly ever understood enough to get the correct answer 🫣 The other 2 parts were no guessing, just fully my knowledge, but listening is definitely something I should work harder on 😅

I've done one N5 test yesterday and got 90%. I must say I'm slightly disappointed because I thought it would be all completely easy for me now. Next weekend I'll try N4 🤓

Last night I spoke French (or rather what's left of my rusty French) in my dream. The dream itself was too weird too tell it but I remember struggling to tell dates in French 😆 Overall it's amazing because I don't remember the last time I dreamt in any language apart from Polish or English #langsky

Almost 2 weeks ago I started another attempt at journaling in my target languages. This time decided to rotate 4 languages switching them each day so that it's less probable that I get bored. And I must say it seems to work. My rusty writing is actually slowly getting better 💪🏻 #langsky

I definitely didn't expect top 5% in one of the categories and top 10% in 2 others (and almost top 10% overall). Each game jam I'm getting better. This is so motivating for me 💪🏻

Long time since last update but it's taking some shape 😁

Listeting sb play it I thought that the audio alone has some AC II/B tomb vibe. And now actually I've already received 2 positive comments on the audio! Is is possible that I will get a good score for sounds done in last few hours of making the game? 😱 #BrackeysGameJam itch.io/jam/brackeys...

I didn't expect writing dialogues to a jam game to take that long 🫣

I thought you can't make a good game jam game unless you have a team, an artist, an audio designer, etc. or you are skilled in those yourself. But now looking at what assets did my fav games from the previous jam use and it turns out you can score high in audio or art using just free assets 🫣

Drawing a decent pixel art character might actually be not that hard. But making a decent animation out of it is a whole different story... 😅 But that's ok, I can already see it's all learnable with enough practice 😄

I used to be sceptical about planning ahead the whole day up to almost exact hours but since my days are adjusted to the fixed schedule of uni I decided to give it a shot. And surprisingly I kinda like it 😅 Ofc I don't always manage to get it 100% but I'm still amazed how many things I manage to do🙈

I've clicked on some random tutorial on Unity UI and at the end I got curious about the author's country. His English was really good but clearly didn't have native's accent. Actually, the guy sounded like he could be from any country near Poland. So I clicked on his channel info and bang - Poland 😂

Someone on the GMTK Discord shared a great hack: Google doesn’t show AI summaries if your query contains swear words.

I started practicing pixel art, I configured my graphical tablet to work with my monitor so I can use it to make pixel art, and all of that just to decide on hand drawn art because it fits my idea better 🫣

Please tell me I'm not the only one keeping mistaking 1x:00 for x PM and vice versa 😭 I really don't want to do it but it happens subconsciously 🫠

GMTK Game Jam begins tomorrow so I guess it's time to finally dust off this account 😅 Today I started purposefully practicing pixel art

This calculator survived being washed in a washing machine 🫣 I opened it to for it to dry and after that, to my surprise, it seems to work 👀

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

Just got 2 more new Japanese words for "price" on Bunpro. I swear, there already were like 6 of them. How many words for "price" can a single language need? 🫣 #langsky

Getting back to making games after 5 months of break is so damn painful - it feels almost like starting from stratch 🥲

I haven't read manga (and in Japanese in general) since February so today I sat down and read 42 pages 😱 この間覚えた単語を見るのはやる気をします💪🏻

My brain tends to believe that true productivity is when I fall into hyperfocus and do something as effective possible. But this is rubbish. Such an attidute is couterproductive because it makes me wait for a perfect moment. True productivity is when you actually do something no matter how little.

面白い日本人の名字についての動画を見ました。なにかがとっても変です。例えば、一（にのまえ）、二（したなが）、十（えだなし）、春夏冬（あきなし）、小鳥遊（たかなし）などです。すごく面白いですね！👀

Hey follow my word bot, if you want. @kotobad.bsky.social

日本語は、「semifinal」は「準決勝」と呼んで「quaterfinal」は「準々決勝」と呼ぶことはとても面白いと思います。「準準々決勝」も言えますか？👀 #langsky #日本語
