Ask me anything about language learning! Iโ€™m building my first course, which is essentially a compilation of all my best tips and advice in one place. My opinions have changed over time with more and more experience, and Iโ€™d love to put all of that into one program to prop you up on your language learning journey. So in short โ€” ask me anything! ๐Ÿงš๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ“š

What are some struggles you've been facing in your language learning journey recently? I've been struggling with my confidence in French... maybe I'm too hard on myself. What's most important is being consistent ๐Ÿ’Œ

๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท Was on my Turkish grind today! Iโ€™ve started to keep a verb list to study separate from all the other vocab. How have your studies been going?
