10 for the langblr asks ๐ซ๐
Hi, thanks for the ask :D
10. Favourite language learning moment this year?
For background info, I struggled really badly in my uni speaking classes for most of first semester due to a couple factors I won't get in to, to the point where I seriously considered whether I wanted to continue with French as a degree at all. Thankfully my language tutor is an angel and I had many conversations with her about what we could do to make the experience less difficult for me and how I could build my confidence. Flash forward to the last speaking class of the semester, and I spoke French for a full 5 minutes in front of my classmates and I even volunteered to answer a second question!! It's been a rough ride and it was a real sticking point for me in terms of how much I enjoyed my course, and while I know that my progress won't be linear I'm very proud of how I started with 2 back-to-back panic attacks in one of the first weeks and now I can occasionally participate out of choice :)
#asks#answered#ask game#amourdeslangues#bonus tag rant: i have to go back and read my own stuttering positivity posts fairly often lol#so yeah it's brutal out here for all of us ๐#i am very much fuelled by spite so i'm challenging myself to see if i can get a first in my end of year oral exam :)

@amourdeslangues Yes! ๐๐๐๐๐ It's the Zueignung vom ersten Teil. I'm in the process of using the original and the spontaneous translation to make a poetic translation which matches the rhyme scheme and form of the original. (:

If you guess the original German, you get a ๐๐๐ from me (:
I have this thing where I set aside something that I'm working on, be it a reading, translation or other creative project, still considering it active and current, only to have reality roll its eyes at me and remind me of the huge time gap between now and the last time I worked on it. I don't mind, though. Instead I've come to realise that I prefer to mull things over, let them sink in and return to them refreshed when the season has rightly changed.
