Learning a new language shouldn't be awkward.

It feels awkward because unnecessary stigma causes you to feel that way. "Broken" English, "Silly" Japanese, "Odd" Spanish, etc. are all derogatory terms that are hurtful to people when they just seek a deeper understanding. The best way to practice a new language is to get out there and introduce yourself. Have a chat at a coffee shop, gab on the train, have fun with your friends. Travel if possible and interact with the locals. We are all individuals, and every language is beautiful. Communication is beautiful.

Currently learning a new language

And

Fuck

It's hard

But I keep telling myself "I'm a toddler, scratch that, a baby, learning a new language, hearing it for the first time, trying to piece the words together"

It takes native speakers months, no years, to learn their native language.

I've been at it for a month

I'm not gonna get it in a month

It's gonna take me years

But if I'm willing to put the work in.........

Diary Entry: A Gentle Day

Today, I found sweetness in the smallest corners of life.

The smell of rain hung in the air this morning, a soft, metallic scent that lingered on my skin as I stepped outside. There’s something about that first breath of post-rain air—like the world had just been washed clean, glistening in secret places.

At lunch, I noticed the way sunlight danced through my glass of water, casting tiny rainbows on the table. I caught myself mesmerized, watching the light flicker and fade as the ice slowly melted. It felt like a private moment of magic, shared with no one but me.

On my walk home, a single dandelion seed floated by, caught in the breeze. I followed it with my eyes as it drifted upward, weightless, untethered. That small, fleeting moment felt like a reminder of how even the tiniest things can hold beauty.

Later, I sat by the window, watching the sky turn from soft lavender to deep indigo. The evening’s first stars peeked out one by one, like shy sparks of light. There was something comforting in that slow, silent unveiling—a sense of quiet companionship in the night sky.

It’s in these hidden places that life speaks most clearly.

Learning to add a touch of poetry to the English language, practicing new words, revisiting the use of accents, and most importantly, being grateful for an ordinary day.”
