I was reading that the reddit community "languagelearning" doesn't allow language-specific posts and comments. Fortunately we are not on reddit and we do allow it!

There's quite many of us keeping an eye on this community, so if you've got questions/thoughts/personal wins or losses: don't hesitate to post!

I’m going to try reading a book in my target language and look up/write down definitions of unfamiliar words. Although I miss the convenience language learning apps offered, I felt like the courses weren’t paced well and that I was stagnating. It would be helpful to have someone to practice with in person but right now it’s not an option.

How’s it going for you?

Maybe participating in forums and groups for/in your target language would help keep training?

That sounds like a good plan. I can recommend writing them down on a paper with a pen to reinforce your memory.

And yeah - apps are convenient but my experience with learning through apps wasn't the best. A course book helped a lot (but that does require more self discipline I admit).

It's ... Stagnant :( thanks for asking though! Real life has been a bit tough. I feel like I'll need another course in autumn to get my momentum back.
