🇫🇷 les amis!! cette semaine je vais faire un GRWM en français en répondant vos questions. qu’est-ce vous voulez savoir sur moi? et pas seulement sur les langues — la vie en Allemagne, voyager, etc. — demandez ce que vous voulez!

Ask me anything about language learning! I’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 I’d love to put all of that into one program to prop you up on your language learning journey. So in short — ask me anything! 🧚🌎📚

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 💌

There are tons of Turkish products at the World Fresh Market here in Chicago. I’m so proud of myself that I can read them now!!

🇹🇷 Was on my Turkish grind today! I’ve started to keep a verb list to study separate from all the other vocab. How have your studies been going?
