Paper and pen I can get geeky, sometimes. I would enjoy downloading the latest app on my smartphone, for instance. When it comes to language learning, I can get excited by the discovery of those new tools, like italki online lessons or online dictionaries. But recently, I realized that I could benefit from backtracking and using more classic tools. Like just using a pen and a notepad instead of a computer. The sheer act of writing by hand can be profitable for mindfullness and better memorization. So, from now on, I'll still use digital tools and get the best out of them, but instead of spending too much time testing the newest apps or websites, I'll enjoy the simple pleasure of handwritting.
