Since I was young, I’d watch a lot of TV shows.
— I personally think ‘When I was young’ sounds more natural here but I am just wondering if my intended meaning would be clearer if I say like this. (In my native language, those are pretty much interchangeable but the first one sounds like putting more emphasis on duration of action. On the other hand, the later sounds more focusing on the period of time.
What I wanted to imply in that sentence is that I started to watch a lot of TV programmes when I was young, then I watched them a lot when I was young, but I don’t watch them anymore.
—there are couple of sentences that I would say in this case.
(I) When I was young, I used to watch a lot of TV programmes.
(2) Since I was young, I used to watch a lot of TV programmes (Does it work?)
(3) Since I was young, I’d watch a lot of TV programmes
(4) Since when I was young, I had watched a lot of TV programmes
Maybe this is not too much about the topic, but I just don’t want to make this post too long :-)

Before getting into the second national wide lockdown, I finally got a hair cut today. — Though I am still questioning myself whether it is a good thing or not. At least, I feel fresh and good!
I’d genuinely thought this covid situation would’ve be done by now, but I guess it seems like we’re pretty far away from the end of this epidemic.😢 Hopefully, we all are going to see the bright light at the end of this tunnel.

Opps, I accidentally lost all I wrote and I feel a bit disheartened to write all again💩
I am from a city called Daegu in South Korea. It’s located in the Southern part of the country and it is the hottest city in Korea! It gets really hot in Summer. — These are probably the most well-known facts about the city that I was born and raised. (Not sure about this sentence, should I just say ‘These are probably the most well-known facts about where I was born and grew up’)
I would never know how many of you would have heard about the East Asian weather or actually have visited to South Korea in Summer, but I can tell you that it would be the most obnoxious weather you will ever experience.) So, please don’t go to Daegu in Summer :P

I simply love learning new languages!
Rather than having a specific reason to learning a language (rather than having a specific reason for learning a new language), I feel like it naturally starts with curiosity. Even though I barely speak any other languages apart from Korean and English, I did learn Spanish in the past, and now, I am trying to learn German.
I learned Spanish because I knew some people who were able to speak that language and we used to spend a lot of time together. Most of all, it was really fun.😀
