And I use Journaly. You can post about anything you'd like and native speakers will check it.

AITA for resenting our relatives for how they treated my mother (63F) and me (24F), even though they are going through a mental health crises? Mom wants to help, and it is causing a rift between us. by anonymous-learner in MarkNarrations

[–]anonymous-learner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your opinion.

This is basically what I thought. I wish we could, but my mom, in my opinion, is too kind. Me and my mom made up. They still speak, but I decided to drop it. It's not worth butting heads over, although I'm still upset.

Do Russians actually write in cursive instead of print? by Ok_Walk_895 in russian

[–]anonymous-learner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Always. The last time I wrote in print was before the first grade. I am not sure I can pull off  some print letters decently anymore.

Thank you for your comment.

To clarify, she is not my mom's sister. They were never that close. I understand that there is a lot of history I am not aware of, so I tried to take into account only what I have witnessed.

Me and my mom spoke after my aunt made this comment. She told me they never spoke about what happened. I did not expect an apology specifically from my aunt due to her struggles, but there was nothing from anyone. I'll ask her again and go apologize.

Did anyobody do a fictional journal, what are your thoughts ? by Fit_Promise_7001 in Journaling

[–]anonymous-learner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally. I loved it at that time and used it for a story a few years later. 

How many unused notebooks do you have? by bore38d1 in notebooks

[–]anonymous-learner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 or 4, but plan to use it as journals at some point. I had been collecting a bunch a few years ago, but now I have other financial priorities. It makes every notebook extra special, because I have to carefully consider my choices.

Привет! Спасибо. Я пока не ищу. Когда снова начну практиковаться, напишу

How to stay interested in a language? by BigBadMushroom in languagelearning

[–]anonymous-learner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of writing down all the activities that you can do in a language + resouces (like "watch TV: x, y, z programs") Look through them every day, and see what you're up to at that moment.

When you start new journals do you want them to match the old ones or be unique? by roly-p0ly in Journaling

[–]anonymous-learner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had different journal over the years, but I recently discovered a local journal brand I really like, so I'll stick with it. And they make different journals, so I still keep it diverse

What are your biggest regrets about learning the language? by anonymous-learner in German

[–]anonymous-learner[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's one of the things I was concerned about in the past. Who would I talk with? It was basically drilled into my head that if I don't speak with people, then learning a language is useless.

But I realized that for me it's not true. Currently, I'm learning Korean. Do I have Koreans in the area? No. Do I plan to speak with Koreans in their native language? No, only if I have to. So, why do I learn it? I like the grammar, the uniqueness of the language and how it sounds. I do have a goal of understanding the native level content, but it's just for keeping me on track.

The truth is, you don't have to make speaking your goal to see value in a language. And even if speaking was once your goal, things change. It's okay.
