since I suddenly have a lot of free time I’m working on my language learning this summer and I want to get genuinely fluent in Spanish and immerse myself so my first novel I’m gonna read in Spanish will be Don Quixote- which I’m pretty excited to read cause I’ll get to experience it in its original language and it’s always been on my book bucket list

playing dragon age in Spanish is also really great and helpful for immersion, although it was pretty funny that sometimes at work I couldn’t remember how to say ‘spoon’ but I know a sword es una espada en español no problem lmao

Me: 四 is my favorite number kanji to write. It’s my little box full of legs.

Me:

at this point i think i’m learning atayal as well as taiwanese hokkien. the fact i’m going to have to learn all new orthographies for the hokkien is a bit scary for me though. WILL persevere
