I agree. Learning Spanish is a sacrifice at times. Balance is key 🔑 I used to only listen to Spanish podcasts when I am in the car, but I started to miss my car dance sessions to my favorite (English) songs. Like you said, it feels good to just be able to enjoy what you normally enjoy in our native language. Thanks for the reminder to just enjoy the process. I am wishing balance for you! Love your videos, thanks for sharing your journey. 😊
Love your video as always! I have been having such as reading slump for a while now and it took me saying "okay im going to read this in english and im only going to read" instead of always forcing myself to read in another language or only listening to audiobooks when im making language resources for myself or whatever, giving the book my full attention without it being a "language learning activity" has brought back my enjoyment of reading. Since language learning is my favourite hobby too I often put pressure on myself to spend a lot of my free time doing languages, especially because there's a voice in my head saying "if you learn more languages you need more time for all of them" and honestly its important for me to also take a step back sometimes and remember being balanced in my life is actually what i need. This week I have been drawing for the first time in years, and funnily enough it has made me enjoy language learning more because now they both feel like hobbies rather than language learning being this all-encompassing monolith of a chore. Looking forward to your next video!!
@@JasmineReynolds-ep1jv awe thank you sm!! :') YES to needing the balance! thats truly the most important part, sometimes we feel too much pressure to alwayssss be advancing in our goals. but its okay to take a step back and just do things for enjoyment as well! i'm glad youre finding that for yourself! it definitely feels amazing to engage in old hobbies again, i also really like drawing and painting too! hehe :3
hahaha it's a bit like trying to re light the flame of love in a love relationship ! thank u for your vid, I dropped learning Spanish rn but im happy because it reignited my love for Japanese (which was never dead) so inspiring I'll try to incorporate Japanese in my day to day life like you do. Much love, Océane ♡ ps : thank u for the anime recommendation btw, will totally watch it hihi

Hey Jaci! I totally relate with you on this video. I do have moments when I watch something in English, I feel that I instead should be getting input in Spanish. This includes driving as well. I've learned to allow myself to be because it brings me joy.
