cool (and free!) resource for german 💌

i've never seen anyone on the internet recommend this website (i found it by chance while stalking my uni's german department ig account).

it's called blueskywords (and no, it's not related to the app). it includes materials for all levels. each unit offers a text and the rest of the items revolve around it: questions, vocabulary notes, audio tracks, grammar quizzes... it's a limited compilation but it's 100% reliable and FREE! (i know this sounds like an add but i've just joined tumblr and i literally have like 5 followers?).

here's the link! https://blueskywords.com

Deutsch lernen wir im Flug! Blueskywords ist eine interaktive Plattform mit Text- und Audiomaterial und Übungen zur Selbstkontrolle.

Do you use different* pronouns sets depending on the language you're speaking?

no, same type of pronouns

yes, different pronoun sets in different languages

nuance/depends/answer in tags

*meaning examples like using rolling pronouns in one language but a single set in another, using traditionally gendered pronouns in one language and neutral pronouns in another, or other variations like this where the pronouns don't translate exactly if there are gendered pronouns in your language(s)

This is something I'm super curious about in people's experiences using multiple languages where gendering of words and pronouns may or may not be the same linguistically or culturally.

In less than two weeks I have my Spanish exam. I know that I will pass and for some reason that is everything that counts for me. But at the other hand; passing with a good grade. Damn, this would be cool. That's why I'm spending more time on studying Spanish, writing in Spanish, reading than doing stuff for my essays (tho I handed the one in, that I'd finished writting back in summer). Anyway, I really enjoy learning lately. Lots of fun.
