I just discovered Zine Making. And this fits really nicely to my other hobbies! Looking forward to printing some Photo-Zines so I finally have my images in physical form!

I want to learn drawing to do urban sketching. Urban sketchers make it look so easy! Like right now I am learning by trying to sketch images, but my proportions are way of... I have a long way to go

A few day off can be so refreshing! I really needed the Easter holiday!

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Ok, I just started watching Cure Dolly for Japanese grammar explanations. I could kick myself for not doing it earlier! It makes so much sense now. Really helpful so far.

Danke! Es freut mich sehr, dass der Podcast so gut ankommt!

I have been in a language learning rut the last month, but now I am getting the motivation back!

020

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

I don't have time for all the things I would like to do and like to learn. Mainly because if I actually have time I just sit around aand watch random movies...

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Why is getting back into the flow of language learning after a holiday so annoying...?

Frohes Neues Jahr! 🍀

What are your goals for 2026? 🌟 Learn more Japanese 🌟 Take more Photos/Videos 🌟 Continue DeutschFluss Podcast (+Youtube) 🌟 Do one Micro Adventure ~every month

I bought a notebook with I believe 250 pages and my 2026 plan is to fill it like a journal but in Japanese.

Might have just bought a new camera 👀 A Om5 Mark II. My Birthday/Christmas present for myself.

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

Currently debating which camera I want to buy. Guess it depends on which model my local second hand options have first. After all a decent, small M43 camera costs so much.

I have set up Yomitan and Asbplayer on my Android recently. Didnt have the chance to really dive in and figure everything out yet.

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

Currently sick - forced break from my Japanese learning... I am behind, was planning to finish Genki 1 this year and not sure if I will make it.

120

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

So, it's official. I have around a year, before I will go to Japan for ~4 month! Meaning I have ~1 year to better my Japanese as much as possible!

120

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 05/10/2025

So after ~1,5 years of learning Japanese and feeling stuck, I decided to start Genki, I looked at it at the start but it didn't click. Now it somehow feels better. Maybe also because I have a Japanese person to do some exercises and ~1 year before I maybe will go to Japan for multiple month!

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

I just published the 50th episode for my podcast: "Deutschfluss - German Podcast for Beginners"! Thanks to all the language learners who listened! I am very surprised and grateful about the amount of listens so far. Here is the link to the latest episode: open.spotify.com/episode/7KIG...

I have gotten an introduction to my woodworking clubs Tormek T8. Now I am ready to sharpen my carving knives - hopefully it will turn out better then when I do it with sandpaper and by hand!

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

I have gotten so busy in the last few weeks and will be in the next few weeks... I think I took on too much 🙈

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 11/09/2025

So if you had one year to learn Japanese to a relatively decent level (say start of N3), what would you do? I have been learning Japanese focused since the beginning of the year, but feel my methods are really not the best.

What are some super beginner friendly projects for woodworking? #woodworking

Just joined my unis woodworking club. Now have acces to a lot of tools, but absolutely no clue...

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

Forgot to post for a while. After the holiday, I had a hard time to get back into a rhythm. Now I'm starting to be more consistent with learning Japanese again.

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

Some small beginner carvings. Just need to paint them.

LRT: I do want to reiterate: I learned Japanese from scratch, starting at 18. A lot of people scare themselves out of learning it or another language as adults thinking it's somehow impossibly tough if you miss that window when your brain is more "impressionable," but it really isn't.

You don’t build writing fluency by waiting until your sentences are perfect. You build it by practicing, even when the words feel awkward. I see you, fellow perfectionist 👀 #langsky

Working with Teuida shows me how bad my 'r' pronunciation is in Japanese 🙈 I know better but my muscles don't know yet...

000

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

Next week I am going back to work, going back to the day to day. So I can get back into regular and more intense Japanese learning. Only did some Anki and Teuida the last few weeks because of vacation. Needed the break. But I didn't really feel progress. Now, I am itching to do more again.

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 23/07/2025

I have too many hobbies! I don't want to stop any of them, I want to do more!!!

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

First easter island head carving. Went well, but will try again to do it better!

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

And there goes two weeks of holiday... But I managed to learn knive sharpening and did some carving.

000

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

First time trying to sharpen my woodcarving knive. Messed up, but think I fixed it. The knive is sharp, but not sharp enough. I really need to learn the angle...

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

I am on holiday right now, so making new videos and pictures for my German comprehensive input YouTube Channel.

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

I downloaded the Teuida app three days ago. And finally doing some speaking. It is nice, especially for the speaking confidence!

My allergies make me soo tired! 🙈 I have no brainpower to study Japanese...

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 24/06/2025

First summer in the apartment and I realise it's like a sauna. It heats up so easily, but no real good way to cool it down 🙈 Its like 5° warmer than outside...

Already have 20 episodes out for my podcast DeutschFluss. 🇩🇪 It's for german learners interested in some easy listening. Thanks to everybody who listened!

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

I started reading Easy Japanese News. I'm slow, but it feels very helpful! #langsky

I want to start wood carving again. But need to wait a month to get my stuff from my parents 🙈

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

Mine is language learning. I can talk a lot about this!

010

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

Soo... I have been starting a Podcast for people who want to listen to some easy, clear and slower German with simpler vocabulary and grammar. It is called DeutschFluss and I could use some feedback! #langsky

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

I hate to say this, but I need to do more traditional language learning for Japanese. I focus too much on Comprehensible Input recently, cause its just so convenient! But I need more grammar knowledge and possible look for a tandem partner to speak as well!

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

The best thing about language learning is, when you have been studying for a while, and suddenly you notice the progress. While the process is slow, I always notice it at one point and suddenly I understand. #langsky
