This is corny advice, but I think it's useful for anyone trying to learn another language. Try to consume entertainment from the country the language is from. This can be books, video games, movies, TV shows, or even songs. If you're like me and don't have anyone to practice with, absorbing any part of the culture can give you the motivation to keep going. It also helps you get used to the culture's sensibilities and common beliefs.
 
Kinda wish I made Eva, Tyrone, and Tommy (the Wii Sports CPU Miis) as some of my team members in Miitopia, but at this point I've gotten so attached to my current team members I don't wanna change/get rid of any of them. Oh well, maybe on my next play-through.
 
Update: Turned out those bags both were on sale so I went back and got a larger one today. Can't have too many, amirite?

Not really that corny or crazy to be honest. I know of British actors and others who can perfectly nail a Americanized voice and their dialect because they've been exposed to the Hollywood movies growing up. Which is why American actors trying to mimic British accents often sound like a parody since they are not exposed to British movies and the such as much as the other.

So it'd make sense that learning a language through other means of entertainment could help to.

My dad is from Taiwan and he’s been in the US for about 50 years and he doesn’t have an Asian accent. He’s very fluent in English which is interesting as he had to learn the language after moving to the US. He can also read and type in English.
 
Some Youtuber who just loves to ride on the coattails of the latest drama (bonus if they have a sponsor ad): 'I really didn't want to make this video'

Quit lying to yourself, please.
 
there is no known physiologic advantage for the common hiccup

yeah the human body sucks but we all knew that lol
 
I don’t even remember the last time, if ever, I cried in front of someone but it happened and it was a slap in the face… of how much I ****ing trust her.
 
I'm so close to completing book 5 of The Wheel of Time series. Can't wait to get started on book 6, The Lord of Chaos.
 
I’ve been playing games a lot on both my PS4 Pro and Switch recently. As much as I love Sony’s systems, playing on a Nintendo system just feels so cozy and right.
 
The Zelda series is strangely nostalgic, even though I haven't been playing it for that long (almost 4 years to be exact), nor have I been playing it at all recently. Zelda will always reign supreme to me, alongside Animal Crossing.
