Took a summer break from OE (and really studying in general because life), but now it's fall and my school brain is back on. Jumping into the Chronicle, specifically Peterborough so I can attempt a seamless transition into Middle English once I'm done.

Alternating my freetime between getting back into studying Japanese and reacquainting myself with the bass guitar I have neglected since coming to Japan. One activity is definitely more fun than the other!

#languagestudy My first post in this feed. I know Duolingo is much maligned, but it is just one of the apps I've been using (along with YouTube videos) to learn French, Italian, Spanish, and Greek.

My feeling is whatever works, use it (and vary which apps you use and what you study).

Why do I always see the typos *after* I post? 😅

I know why, rhetorical. I'm an editor these days.

Adding a few more tags, and if people could repost this gigantic thread for more visibility, I'd deeply appreciate it.
