Lovely post. I have found learning some languages frustrating (often because teachers sucked), I’ve made many silly and sometimes hilarious mistakes, but it has never been a lonely experience. And I have simply loved learning some of the languages. It is probably what I love most in the world. Well, that, and cheese.
As a French person who started and paused) learning Irish with the first iteration of Scoil Scairte, I feel every word of this piece! Just subscribed ☺️
Wow - your blog came at a perfect time! I am heading to Indonesia in a week for an extended period! Reading about your experience, including your encouragement and honesty about the challenge, fills me with a sense of solidarity and understanding. Thank you!
Thanks so much Cassidy! I am so glad my blog is a contribution for you -- sounds like it gives you a sense of companionship. :) Have you been learning any Bahasa Indonesian?
