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!

Studying German's being a bit weird. I keep defaulting to Norwegian for some reason. Still, since I'm policing myself, hopefully I can separate them, as it was with Spanish/Portuguese.

Also since I have some more free time now, I'm back at reading, with some Japanese works as a focus.

I struggle with german as well, mostly because I sometimes assume things that just are wrong (when I'm guessing the meaning of a figure of speech).

Hoping you'll enjoy your reads!
