2025 was my third full year of language learning. Portuguese and French were new additions, and since they’re similar to Spanish, which I'd already been learning, I was able to go (almost) straight to native audio. And they say there are no shortcuts!Â
Listen up, advanced Spanish learners! We all know nothing can be more frustrating than trying – and failing – to find good stuff to watch. That’s why I decided to compile an ongoing list of my top Spanish-language content recommendations.
One of my favorite ways to prepare for the year ahead, or for a return to reading after a slump, is to go through my reading list and pick out the books I'm most excited to read.
In 2024 I started learning Japanese by consuming comprehensible input, no textbooks or classes, coming in knowing nothing.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, currently living in Dallas. When I’m not listening to a podcast in Japanese or reading a book in Spanish, I’m making plans for my next budget trip.
