Spanish Class

  Learning languages is hard. For me at least the memorization and grammar aren't the hardest part though, its the slump that happens when you become an advanced learner. You understand all the easy stuff and its even boring but anything more advanced has words I've never even heard of and I can't make heads or tails of it. The main reason my Spanish isn't advancing, I think, is because I don't have much real world practice with speaking and conversation. I do Duolingo every day and have a streak of 1030 days.

I had to make some shots for my Japanese film class because we’re learning about how to analyze shots and I hope the teacher doesn’t think it’s stupid. Honestly I can’t even be mad if she does cuz it’s literally just a still of two of my stuff animals moving slightly. I have a gif of it up on GIPHY so check it out if you want.  handle: torypink
