You should read the post if you haven't yet.

Do you think this approach will actually help when learning a language I’m already good at, like English? I can understand almost everything I read and about 90% of what I listen to. But when it comes to speaking or writing, I struggle. The same goes for German, and, oh no, on Russian. Even with a huge passive vocabulary, I feel like a kid when I try to speak or write.

When I prep for my English classes, I have to script all my phrases to show my intermediate students how one sounds more advanced.

If you know any blogger who is 1) a woman, 2) English-speaking, 3) smart, knowledgeable, and cute, and 4) not too aggressive in her marketing strategy, please post the link below 😀

By the way, I didn’t mention: I’ve started teaching German officially at a private center in Serbia. I even have a student who only speaks Serbian, which is an amazing experience.

That’s why I haven’t been active on Journally lately.

I do keep up with everyone’s posts, though. It was one from our great Ully that pushed me to write this note.

I wanted to use the "willy-nilly" expression but couldn't decide where to put in.

The picture shows me trying to master English, German and Serbian at the same time. My husband is the man on the left😂
