    Today is day 365 of learning Spanish

    I don’t know whether I’ll continue my streak or not, but it’s pretty cool to do something for 365 days straight. I actually started like 380 days ago, but I’ve used up a few streak freezes which just stop it from breaking but don’t extend it.

    I haven’t made much progress and without being able to speak it with anybody irl, it doesn’t seem like it’s actually seeping into my brain. I tried watching shows with foreign language dubs, but it was too difficult to keep up, even when I knew the English dialogue word for word. I can understand about every 5th word in Orange Is The New black though, so I guess that’s something. But it doesn’t help that Spanish speakers talk at approximately 720,593 words per minute

    I haven’t had a whole lot of motivation to continue and keep pushing on since about day 200, but I wanted to hit 365 days. My previous longest streak was like 19 days or something like that, so #winning I guess

        Once. After being asked “M or F” for the 70th time in a row, I have up. It’s like the pinnacle of degeneracy

        Pretty sure it’s dead now anyways though, replaced by something called ruby chat or diamond talkboard or something stupid like that
