lil update :)

um...hi? is this thing on...

it’s been approximately 3 years since I’ve attempted to be a langblr and uhh stuff has happened in my personal life, as I’m sure it has to everyone

for one, I’m actually in college now?? yay???

which on one hand it’s like “omg I should come back on and do more studyblr stuff, that would actually be useful to me now”

but on the other hand......i do have homework

not to mention my semester’s almost over PLAJSDFK

i might start up again and post more proficiently, someday

but for now I think I’ll focus on doing this when i feel like it, when it won’t be too stressful or overwhelming and I can really have fun posting my little notes and tips and shenanigans >:)

tl;dr--i’m kinda back! (might ghost for a few days but yknow)

So I learnt the hard way that the mobile app now utterly butchers photo uploads

If your target language is Spanish, or one of the languages you aim to learn, or you need listening practice, or you just want to have something in Spanish playing in the background, I would like to recommend a radio show that’s been a part of my life since I can remember, and still is. It is an Argentinian radio show hosted by Alejandro Dolina and it’s called La Venganza Será Terrible, I can’t even begin to explain how much I enjoy this show and how much peace it brings me and how much it makes me laugh.

There’s a site called Venganzas del Pasado which is an unofficial site, where they upload all the episodes really fast and keep a dated organized archive of the show so you can go as far back as you want or start from the newer ones.

If you do give it a listen or you have questions, please feel free to send me an ask!!!

hello everyone, my name’s zephyr. And through two years as a semi-active studyblr/langblr, owning a Kånken, and keeping a bullet journal, I just now realized it was MILDliner, not MIDliner.

pen pals but instead of letters we send each other our favourite books and write notes about why it affected us the way it did

I will dress like a gay classics professor from the 1920s or I will die trying
