This felt like a soothing pat on my back🥹 I’ve been failing at my daily goal of memorizing French words, and instead been just keeping a French Youtube channel on like a background music while I’m doing chores, feeling guilty and underachieving... But your article gave me a chance to view it in a different light and made me realize that I’ve been keeping my ‘maintenance mode’ alive between juggling things around in life:) Thanks for the insight!
The guilt was lying to you. French in the background *is the work*. So glad this reframe landed. Your maintenance mode sounds perfectly alive. 🥹
My Mandarin is still in maintenance mode and its been about 3 years now. I wonder what will happen when I get back to it. I still feel that i haven't lost much and everything will come back when it needs to 😊
Beautifully written and well-researched article, Shea! This deeply deeply resonates with everything I've been doing and experiencing with my own journey back into various languages this past month... like – A LOT! So much more to say, but for now I'll keep this brief (not my strong suit, as you may remember 😆) and say WELCOME BACK to publishing, and thank you for sharing 🫶🏼 I truly hope you are well ✨
