Looking forward to another year with @italki! #italkiRefresh Here's my annual report for 2023. 😅

This is my second year working with teachers on @italki, and even though I'm a good independent learner, I would never have made this much progress or stayed as motivated without having the ability to also work with great teachers.

Agreed. @getAkiflow has been a complete game-changer for me/has kept me alive/has saved me from myself.

All that being said, I loved that I didn't need to create a new password for threads! ❤️🙏

Replying to @X
@Twitter is way better than threads. I don't see (yet) how there's even a discussion but maybe I missing something. Also, @elonmusk would beat Zuck in a cage match.

I heard someone say threads is like Twitter's chill cousin but I think it's more like an awkward junior high dance with people mumbling (basically to themselves) and shuffling around aimlessly. I'm sure that'll change soon but right now I'm not really getting it.

I just tried a @lingoda lesson (German—though if I'm being honest, I should really be working on resurrecting French), and I love the focus on speaking, even in the orientation lesson.

I just had a conversation in Italian and just forgot everything I've ever learned, seemingly. 🥲 But on the other hand, I clearly remember French because I kept saying things en français.

Hey #langtwt, on the subject of books in various languages: Any recommendations on your favorite online book stores (that ship to USA)? I love @LibreriaPino in SF for Italian books and would love it if they let me set up a direct deposit account with them. 💸

What was the first book you read in a foreign language? #langtwt I know it's cliche, but Le Petit Prince for me 🌳

Sometimes I wonder if I enjoy learning languages just because widens the selection of books I can buy (including translations of books I own in English). 😅

We got off to a rough start, but it's all good now. #ChatGPT #coffee

I just asked #ChatGPT to have a conversation with me in Italian and it had it with itself. Feeling pretty left out. 🥺

While I'm glad that I did a lot of my schooling without undue reliance on technology, I have to say, I would have loved to have had access to something like @NotionHQ when I was in high school.

And if I had @NotionHQ, @readwise, and @AmazonKindle while I was in grad school, that would have made studying for comps a lot easier.

But at least I know how to use a card catalog.

It's amazing how fast my Italian deteriorates between conversation lessons. 🫠 #langtwt
