Languages and identity
Languages are part of our identity. For many people, they form a huge part of who they are. You can clearly see this in places like Catalunya, Galiza, or Euskal Herria. When we speak the language we call our mother tongue, we feel at home 🏡; we feel safe.
My language learning journey in 2024
The past few years I’ve used the month of December to decide what to do in the new year. So what about 2024?
I’ve had a few languages that I invested a lot of time in but then along the way life happened and I couldn’t or I didn’t want to continue with them on a regular basis. Last December I decided to try to reactivate these languages together with 3 priority languages.
But now at the end of the first month of 2024 I find myself with four extra languages that suddenly one way or another are wandering around me every day.
November challenge: 200 words in Danish
This November I am going to write 200 words in Danish E.V.E.R.Y. day.
I just realised after having written my first text that 200 words is actually a lot. I don’t know if I have enough interesting things in my head to write every single day 200 words but I am going to try.
