“gee Ms. A Bad Idea, how did you get so smart at languages, I keep trying but it never sticks”
The trick to actually really for real learning a language when you’re not immersed in it as the living language of your everyday life is to WRITE IT DOWN
ON PAPER. WITH YOUR HANDS
USE A BETTER PEN, THOSE CHEAP BALLPOINTS WILL INJURE YOU
JUST COPY A WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE IF THAT’S ALL YOU HAVE, IT WILL HELP



Exactly. I can’t really do the paper-based option while commuting. But when at home I’d actually prefer to get away from my devices, so that’s what I’ll do.
I might include song lyrics to keep it varied. Thanks again for the motivation / reminder.
