foreign language adventures

[valtherabbit]

Past couple weeks ive been taking on the task of picking up french. So far my strategy has been to stuff my head with basic vocabulary via flash cards, and slowly work my way through a pdf of a beginner textbook and that's been working actually kinda well?

Plan is to try to get the basics down and then immerse myself via media. I actually managed to make my way through a playthrough of Metroid Fusion in french while understanding most of it (thank goodness I already know another romance language). Also watched a french streamer the other day and understood nearly nothing except for when he angrily told link "Ouvre la porte!!" after bonking into a door. Also I think scarecrow video has a lot of french films we could check out...

Anyone else trying to pick up another language?
