Chiara's avatar'

I'm a selftaught languages learner and my dream is about living in NYC just for a while. I've started with english during pandemic in 2020 and now I'm learning French too. My language daily routine is about listening as much as possible, watching movies or TV series, doing grammar exercises, writing on my journal everyday and speaking by shadowing native speakers.
