12, 13 and 14!

12. Have you noticed and short term and long term language learning benefits?

I think learning Chinese and sticking for it for so long has shown me that I can be consistent with goals that I have and that’s been good to know :)) 

Also to add - dreaming in another language has been really cool so I’ll consider that a benefit lol

13. What are your language learning goals?

For 2019 my goal is to speak more Chinese. I recorded myself speaking Chinese for the first time ever in Feb (I spoke for over 3 mins total!) so I’m really happy to keep on practicing! 

14. Do you prefer learning alone or in a group? 

Alone! I’m an independent learner so I do everything alone :) I hate group work lol

Thanks for the ask! Send me some langblr asks!

4 & 5 😊

4. favourite dish specific for your country?

I’m running out of dishes! Okay, I like pizza crunchies? That’s half a pizza that’s been deep fried. I’m really, truly not proud of it. 

5. favourite song in your native language?

I’ve already said Caledonia... How about Feather on the Clyde by Passenger. It probably tells you all you need to know about me as a person ;)

19 :)

19. Do you like your country’s flag and/or emblem? What about the National Anthem?

It’s a pretty nice flag.  Our national anthem is beautiful, but I honestly think our current political, environmental and social situation doesn’t do justice to any of them. But like out anthem says: your children, who adore you, neither fear to fight, nor flee from death itself. We’ll never give up the fight to make Brazil a better place.

My favorite part of our anthem (translated):

More flowers put forth in thy fair, smiling fieldsThan the in the most gorgeously reputed lands; "More life is to be found in the groves", "More love in our lives" in thy embrace. 

“Do que a terra, mais garridaTeus risonhos, lindos campos têm mais floresNossos bosques têm mais vidaNossa vida no teu seio mais amores.”

If you’d like to listen, here’s a link and here’s the lyrics translated.

for the languages thing ... 11! :)

I can't believe I actually got an ask! Thank you so much! <333

11: A song you like in a language other than English.

I like a lot of songs in a lot of languages, haha. But lately I've been listening to "El Primer Día del Resto de mi Vida" by La Oreja de Van Gogh, a Spanish band.
