I love your blog😄

You don’t make many posts anymore :/ what languages are you still studying? I miss the vocab lists!

I still learn Swedish and Portuguese, and I’ve picked up French and Italian as well. I dabble in Catalan occasionally to compare it to Spanish and the other Romance languages I’m learning. I used to learn German, but I’ve kind of lost interest in Germanic languages as a whole, really (Except for Faroese... Still love her), and have fallen in love withRomance languages. I’ve studied Spanish all of my life and never really enjoyed it (and let’s be honest, I like Puerto Rican and Mexican slang too much to learn the standard), so I always thought I hated Romance languages... but they just FIT me.I know you didn’t ask for all of this haha but I plan to update this blog more now that I am doing better emotionally... I really needed a tumble break after a long spell of depression. 💕
