Cooll! Thank you for sitting down with me and talking that through!
It felt like the solo podcast episode i stumble upon now and again while i type little clusters into our worlds smaller indexes and their search boxes!
Enjoy tasting the world in new words where you can and finding the walks and looks in your world begging to be let new ways to express themselves to you! The world really wants every word they can get to describe themselves to you, especially today where each thing is so transformationally new (in their quiet reality-forking way). Ta!
Thinking out loud, so apologies where this gets read as cw advise slash something more than what i am walking away with. This reflection piece had me realize all those solo games on itch could help me get over my own monologue avoidance those game might be a way to do the language practicing in a way that feels more grounded than just monologuing. Thank you again!
this is a very interesting perspective to me bc i do speak 2 languages and do feel like im terrible at learning new ones... maybe i never try hard enough but there is this sense that i'm never going to be good at another language to think in it (tbf i generally always think in eng unless specifically talking in rus) and i do feel like i've just been lucky.. my angst takes form of fearing i'm getting worse and worse in my native language and i dont have the vocabulary/word bank and have to frustratingly play riddles with my grandma to get her to understand what words i'm trying to express/find..... *sigh*
anyway not about me haha ..i am feeling a bit more inspired to just try though, to do better... i'm sure you're gonna get better and better, you're really putting effort in it and are motivated.. i think that matters a lot <3
as someone who is both chronically monolingual and obsessed with language, I feel this. something that I read that has stuck with me when I am discouraged when learning about a new language is that while children may benefit from neuroplasticity, as an adult you are still learning much faster than they do. babies may get home field advantage but it takes them how long to even form words? skill issue.

verneukt maar waar
Really enjoyed this, tapped into a lot of angsts I've been feeling lately re: both language learning and creative pursuits. Thanks for this.
