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

I really like the Geheimakte Tunguska Series. But might also be a bit harder.

It does make a lot of sense to learn a language based on its logical structure rather than based on your mother tongue's/English's structure/translations. This reminds me a bit of Language Transfer - I listen to it when I learned Spanish. But Spanish is much closer to English. #langsky

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!

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Not an app, but for Spanish if you want to get better at listening, check out the Youtube Channel Dreaming Spanish. This is what I mainly credit for m, understanding of Spanish.

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

I agree! I have started to enjoy learning languages since I left school - as well as other things. School teaching doesn't really allow students to learn their way.

010

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

A good thing with learning languages is taking just 15min a day. Learn vocab when waiting for the bus or listen to a podcast when driving. How I find time is doing it first in the morning, so I don't forget. I have never considered Mongolian, now I want to look into what type pf language that is.

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Honestly for Spanish the most helpful for me was by far the Youtube Channel Dreaming Spanish. But Comprehensible Input is maybe not the best for streaming.

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

I think crime shows a some of the few German produced series that are quite decent - especially in collaboration with Skandinavia.

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

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

020

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Yes! Definitely way better than Fremdschämen. That is a feeling I do not like.

120

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

I'm glad I am a native 😂

000

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

I have this too with Japanese and then one day it seems to just click and I noticed I actually did make progress.

000

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

I want to do things but also I constantly feel like I need rest...

010

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 · 27/01/2026

Thanks! I am happy to hear it is helpful!

010

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Don't know an app, but I loved Dreaming Spanish for the Immersion part!

000

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

I agree, I think Immersion is often considered as enough, is because it's the one thing we didnt do in school, but what got us from school level to fluent - forgetting school taught us the base + it is a nice excuse to do more passive learning, which depending on how it's done isnt actually helpful.

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

What helped me with Thai was lingopolo.org. They seem to have quite a bit of German content. You can use Anki with pre made Decks. These helped me build a habit. Also you could consume beginner friendly content - makes learning more enjoyable.

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

010

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Also can recommend the Teuida app for Grammar and speaking practice and Wagotabi is a game for Grammar+Vocab and makes learning a bit more fun.

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

I also learn Japanese I use: - Tadoku Graded Readers - NHK Easy News - Comprehensible Japanese, Japanese Super Immersion, Chienowa Japanese, Japanese Conversations, Japanese with Shun Youtube Channels - Anki JLPT Tango Decks (There are other good ones) - Genki 1+2 Gourse Books

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Comprehensive Input helped me a lot. (Graded Readers and Beginner Youtube Videos) + Core Vocabulary Deck on Anki and any Grammar Book.

Frohes Neues Jahr! 🍀

Frohe Weihnachten euch allen!

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 25/12/2025

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

You could try to play a game/watch something in Japanese.

120

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

I have this too. But I know it's because I am visiting my parents and then I sleep in and have a lot of other things to do...

000

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 19/12/2025

For me a big one is files are local and markdown. You have control and they are readable universally.

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

What are my goals for 2026? 🇯🇵Japanese Edition🇯🇵 - Finish Genki 2 - Fill A Notebook with writing - Listen, read and more listening (- Find Tandem Partner) -> Get to at least a solid N4 Level

010

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

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

120

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

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

020

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

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

030

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.

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

On that note questions to the people using asbplayer+yomitan: How to best handle sentence that are broken in pieces in the transcript? (I here Asbplayer recording the whole sentence, but in Anki its just the part showing on the screen (audio as well).

000

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

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

110

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 · 13/11/2025

I liked Teuida a lot. Renshuu is recommended as well. Or just the old fashioned grammar book like Genki. Anki for Vocab - there are existing lists (also for grammar)

010

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

Currently studying roughly 10h a week, doing Genki, Anki (Vocab+Mnemonics), Comprehensive Input. And recently started talking to an acquaintance, but only ~2h a month. I want to get through Genki 1 this year and Genki 2 maybe until March '26. So that I can then fully focus on Immersion!

020

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 · 15/10/2025

I mean... probably more useful than some things you learn in textbooks or on Duolingo 😅

000

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

If you consume media in the German, that is also a use. I think generally language learning is good for the brain as well. But really, I just learn languages for fun.

000

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

I mean, news sites can use very specific language sometimes!

100

Mayabe @mayabe.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

Except the first, a lot of times it helps to split the words, since German has a lot of compound words. Of course, you first need to recognize the separate words... Fahr-rad-fahren Haus-tiere
