What are you doing for your language learning process while under quarantine?

Looking Foreign Friends

looking for an English speaking pal I'm Israel from Brazil, and I'm looking for more people to practice my English with. You don't necessarily have to be a native speaker. It can be anyone from any place else in the world. All I want is to connect with people from other cultures, in order to lose my fear of speaking and level up my self esteem. Making friends is also a plus. 😊

I like my second language better than my native language. My native language is Portuguese, but I speak English as a second language. Funny thing is, I hate reading books in Portuguese or keeping up with the news. I'm not fond of watching movies, listening to music, or the radio in my first language. But I love doing all that in my second language. Sometimes I think I was born into the wrong first language. Can anyone relate to that? 

what do you enjoy doing in your free time now that's different from what you liked doing 5 years ago?

Break free from textbooks For many years, I've been practicing my English just by studying through my textbooks and recapturing what I'd learned by going through them over and over (boring, i know). I had been so addicted to this study routine that I came to realize I wasn't learning anything new! But then it hits me, the idea of trying to stop reading so much my English textbooks and try to immerse more in real English! I mean, textbooks are important because they give you the foundation you need to learn the language... but they don't give you real English conversation. This idea came when I started listening to a podcast called "all ears English" and the native American girls from this podcast called Lindsay and Michelle opened my eyes to that! Then I started to do other things to make the learning and perfecting more fun, like I started reading novels in English, which has given me a lot of new vocab. I've been listening to a lot of podcasts,which has improved my listening comprehension skills dramatically. I also started reading the news from the BBC app, also discovered the TEDx talk which is a great app with a lot of interesting shared ideas on all sorts of stuff. Since I started doing all those things and took a break from my textbooks, my learning process became much more fun and effective. I'm learning something new about the English language every single day. 😃
