Recently bought an ebook reader which has a dictionary functionality and this week I got myself "The Little Prince" in German.

Looking up words and meanings directly in the ebook reader has been useful!

Edit: fixed a typo.

Agreed! Now I'm starting to miss living in an area where I might see cows sometimes.. Always make me happy.

I'm planning to get some new winter clothes and that looks like quite a good website they have with proper info, would you say Brynje clothes feel durable?

Was recently in Norway and saw many people with cool cozy patterns and wanted to buy a wool sweater, but I didn't have time to check brands. I think I might order one of those.

Thanks for the local tip!

I tried this as well, but my main native language is not that popular amongst people from my learning target language. Guess I should checkout online tandem communities.

Hey and welcome! This community kinda expects top level comments to be submissions to the post request, mind giving us a drawing? :)

don't be shy about your drawing skills, even if it'd be your first ever drawing! Can be stickfigures, abstract, whatever!

Those are very interesting experiences, thank you for sharing!

I'm not a native English speaker but I don't usually struggle understanding others speaking English EXCEPT for Scotts when they speak in their normal speed. I often have to ask them to slow down for me.

I'm impressed by your language set. Chinese, English, and Spanish let you speak to a huge portion of the world! Maybe I should pick up Spanish as well.. This all reminds me of my favourite quote related to languages:

"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world" - Ludwig Wittgenstein
