Happy new year to everyone! I would like to try tracking my learning again, does anyone have advice on how to track without burning out? #Langsky

I've had the first Tandem call (Czech-German) in.. I don't even know how long, many months! It feels good to be back, even tho it was a boy uncomfortable because I was very slow.

I can help you with German :)

- writing my master's thesis - panicking about my thesis - working (teaching German) - skipping Czech classes (my exam is next week) - suffering from imposter syndrome - doubting the logic of my thesis - being tempted to pick up 10 new languages

I keep checking bluesky just to see if you started it yet ahaha

I used to be pretty bored in my Czech class because I did it before - but with a faster pace. Now I had to skip the last 3 weeks and I'm overwhelmed because I'm behind. It's still stuff I learned before but I'm not really enjoying Czech at the moment :( #langsky

Hot tip: if you don't speak your target language too well yet, just learn some big words and throw them into your sentences so people think you're more photosynthesis. #langsky

I probably know about 20 words in Esperanto but somehow they made it into last night's dream. #langsky

It's part of it, I think. Since I came back to 'real life' I've been struggling with it..

Polish has been on pause for a while now but I went to a Polish store to get my favorite Tymbark drink today (malina mięta!) and I was surrounded by nothing but Polish (other costumers and employees talking, Polish radio, all the signs written in Polish etc.) It's been a fun experience! :) #langsky

I wanna start tracking my language progress again, does anyone have recommendations (systems, websites etc)? #langsky

I deactivated the read receipt on Whatsapp 5 years ago and it was one of the best decisions ever made.

Me: I think I can take on the Spanish C2 exam! Also me: *googles ‘ir conjugation’*

Wait...does that mean "try thinking less" is just a phrase I always took too literal?

Non è quello che stavo cercando ma sono sempre felice di leggere di Sanremo :) #langsky

The best part about doing an assignment last minute is realizing it could have been fun if I had started earlier. But I've been so overwhelmed and still haven't figured out how to work full-time and finish my master's degree before it finishes me, tho.

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

I did get that task too when I went to therapy but I never could get myself to do it.

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Others dream about buying a house and having their own family, I dream about taking an intensive language class abroad. #langsky

I just wanted to ask if someone has a recommendation. I'll probably book lessons on Italki, yes :)

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

I know often someone's reason isn't pure interest but if you -as an adult- are signing up for an intensive language class and you watch TikTok in class and are irritated when I ask you a question... honestly, grow up or stay home.

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

The most frustrating thing about teaching languages as a language enthusiast is seeing people in your class who aren't interested in learning (in my case German) at all. I don't take it personally but it's draining. Especially when people don't pay attention and blame me as if I didn't explain it.

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

I'm looking for a Czech teacher. I'm a beginner and I've been using the textbook krok za krokem. I'd need someone to practice speaking, gladly referring to the textbook but I prefer going through it (mostly) on my own. #langsky

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

I've just been studying some Czech and I randomly asked myself "But how do you say that in Polish???" (I know it's "umiem", it's just been a while and I couldn't remember) #langsky

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Today I started working on my thesis (for now it's more research than actual writing) and I can't wait to randomly find articles which have nothing to do with my actual topic but seem super interesting, so I will go down a rabbit hole ("I would totally write a paper on that") #adhd

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

I know the world is unfair and I shouldn't be mad about something so small but I can't stand it when I'm treated unfairly, this is really disappointing..

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

So today I got a warning from Tandem, an app which I used to love but is so full of ads it's unusable without the pro version ... I've been barely using it lately and I can guarantee you I didn't do anything wrong...while every second message I get is from a man hitting on me... #langsky

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

I thought I'd have some freedom after my paper but I got the letter confirming my masters thesis topic today and officially I started writing it yesterday (yes, a day before they notified me). Sure, I got exactly 6 months but I already ""wasted"" 2 days ahahahah

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

I do feel sorry for you but I also did laugh out loud at the end.

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 09/03/2025

I can't wait to hand in my paper tomorrow so I have more time for my languages again! #langsky

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Absolutely, thank you so much!

The only condition for participation is that you have used Duolingo at least once to learn German. It is available in German and English, all levels are welcome! German version: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... English version: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... Thank you so much in advance!

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

Dear #langsky! I have just published my survey. If you have ever used Duolingo to learn/practice German, you are welcome to participate. Whether you love or hate Duolingo, whether you use it every day or not at all, whether you speak fluent German or only a few words.

Liz @lizitro.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

I've just had a meeting with my professor to discuss my paper and now I'm kind of excited to write it, I'll be writing about Duolingo as a tool to learn German. #langsky

followed by a survey. Let me know if you are interested in participating (but I will make a seperate post about that, too). Thanks again! Danke schön!
