I can relate to the internet being boring for the past 2 weeks or so since I've been on hiatus X_X Trying to get back into socializing too!! Also good luck with learning a new language!! It's one of the best things you can do for yourself. I can relate to the perfectionism too... you just started so be easy on yourself! I hope that friend group continues to blossom as well. It sounds like you found some really cool-

peeps~! Whatever your language is, it's so cool that you're getting to read and speak to more people on the planet <3

I'm not sure how the recommendation works around here but I can't really complain, My website is not on Neocities anymore because of my needs so I'm hosting it on my own server, but I still keep a redirect here and people still find my website, which honestly, I'm glad. I can't really deal with social media to show my stuff

Immersion is a really great way to learn languages. Growing up I consumed so much content in English that I ended up learning by exposure, lmao. I mean, my English is by no means perfect, but considering that I never studied it, thanks globalization, I guess? Good luck with your new language, you got it;

best of luck with your language learning!! not being able to do things if you're not confident in your ability is a real struggle and one i faced in my earlier days of learning japanese... i'm glad to hear you've found a nice group to study alongside though!

amy!!! thank you :'))). I think I'm succeeding and going easy on myself and pushing myself to converse more.. I think it's the main thing I've been missing and it feels like I cracked some mysterious code when it was so obvious lmao. And yes I'm really glad to meet more people, especially ones that are so different from me!

@ongezell I have definitely been considering other hosting options for so long now (i dicked around with a vps for a while but ended up giving up due to laziness kek) but the thing is, i do enjoy the social features to an extent so i feel like I'm always stuck between a rock and a hard place... maybe someday though

and yes nothing truly beats immersion, after not knowing cyrillic for my whole life it took me only a couple of days to learn it after being in a country that uses it for a week! it's incredible. and thank you!

@cloveratelier thank you so much! Yes confidence is so important, and it's a big hurdle to get past.. it took me a while to get where I am tbh :')
