New Year, New English
Before I joined the language-learning community, my goal was to speak English with some level of formality, like a public speaker. However, as my language-learning skills improved, I realized that this verbosity was unnecessary in most situations. A girl once called me a “neckbeard” (which, in hindsight, I understand why), and I often found myself being misunderstood by L1 speakers. To my surprise, many native speakers were unfamiliar with words such as beseech, salacious, or acquiesce. My friends helped me navigate this issue by incorporating a lot of slang and colloquial expressions when I was around, and, before long, I was using more acronyms than those who had once struggled to understand me.
Admittedly, I grew a lot during this period. However, recently, I had a realization: the majority of the content I consume is not laden with slang, and the use of such language does not reflect the way I want to present myself. I aspire to be like Henry Rollins— unnervingly polite and eloquent, yet capably violent.
How, you might ask, am I addressing this issue? I’ve begun reading a book on punctuation and grammar, focusing on the distinctions between spoken and formal English. I am often taken aback by the common mistakes L1 speakers make and by how "improper" spoken English is. To apply what I learn, I write 250-word texts using ChatGPT, asking it to act as a publishing editor and provide constructive feedback. This, I’ve found, is one of the most challenging skills I’ve ever tried to acquire and it will take a long time, so, I'd better get busy.

Invoering
Hallo iedereen!
Ik kom uit Polen en ik leer Nederlands. Ik vind neuwe talen leren leuk en ik sprek al vijf talen. Over een jaar wil ik verhuizen naar Amsterdam omdat mijn vriend woont daar al. Mijn job vereist lokale taal daarom begin ik mijn avontuur met Nederlands. In 2025 wil ik deze taal regelmatig gebruiken.

Ignorante de fútbol
Durante este año que viene, voy a aprender las reglas de fútbol. Me siento como un tonto cuando asisto a los juegos de fútbol de mi hija. Con frecuencia me encuentro con los padres de las otras jugadores alrededor de mí vitoreando y alentando a las chicas mientras yo no sé nada de lo que está pasando. Pues, todo esto va a cambiar. Ya he empezado a ver vídeos instruccionales de fútbol. Pan comida, solo hay que enfocarme y hacerlo, no?

Bedeutung des Umweltschutzes in der modernen Gesellschaft
Heutzutage ist der Umweltschutz sehr wichtig für die moderne Gesellschaft.
Ehemalig haben wir zu viele Kohle und Erdöl benutzt, in der Fabrik Produkte zu produzieren.
Folglich wurde jetzt die Luftkodition der Erde schlechter gegangen.
Je mehr Kohle und Erdöl wir benutzen, desto schlechter wird die Luftkondition der Erde.
Mit dieser Situation wird die Erde küftig ein Ort, wo ein Mensch nicht leben kann.
Bisher haben wir kaum festgestellt, dass diese Situation die Erde zerstören kann; aber jetzt berichten die Medien diese Situation als ein wichtiges Problem, also wissen Leute jetzt, wie wichtig diese Situation ist.
Um die Erde, in die wir leben, zu schützen, müssen wir von heute versuchen, Umwelt zu schützen.

Jour 22
Manifestations pacifiques
Au Kenya, la Constitution nous permet de faire des manifestations pacifiques.
Cette année, il y a eu plusieurs manifestations par les jeunes à cause de :
1. Les meurtres de femmes. En anglais c'est 'femicide'
2. La vie qui est devenue très chère.
3. La situation économique.
4. Les enlèvements d'avocats sociale par les policiers, sans réponse du gouvernement.
Aujourd'hui, c'était le dernier jour de l'année dont les jeunes ont fait les manifestations.
J'espère que le président va les entendre cette fois.

A brief video of the hike near Dongqian Lake
I just uploaded a short video about the hike I had last Saturday near Dongqian Lake: https://youtube.com/shorts/srTSk8m8FKU
It's also my second dubbed video.
I know you're all nice people, but please tell me which parts I didn't pronounce very well. I really appreciate any help you can provide.
There are just a few words because I still don't dare to say more in videos. 🤣

Christmas gift
When I was college student, I had a part time job at a ' snack bar" or I would say a " hostess bar" nearby my house with my friend. The Christmas day is always busy such kind of bar. Some customers gave us some whole cakes as a Christmas gift. After closed the bar, mama-san " the Japanese snack aar owner madam" gave some girls to bring the cakes. When I was back to my house, my mother made a big smile and looked very happy.
Perhaps that was a first present from me to my family.
I always have got some Christmas gift from my parents. But I may never have given them a present.

I usually stay at home
I work from monday to friday, when there is some holiday on the week I prefer to rest at home with my family. However, I don't stay at home doing nothing. I make a different food, for example, japanese food and some dessert which is difficult to make. If I'm not patient then I make a barbecue.

The Corn Chips Fritos (110)
I received a package from my friend in the US two days ago. It was a Christmas gift.
There were three picture books, a body moisturizer, and lots of snacks in it.
Actually, I had told my friend to send me a chips called Fritos beforehand.
Since I watched the YouTube video "Kevin's English Room" where they were eating Fritos, I've always wanted to try it.
I was so excited when I saw Fritos in the box.
There were also a can of bean dip and a can of jarapeno cheddar dip in it.
At first, I just tried Fritos as it is, and then I tried it with bean dip.
I loved the chips, but bean dip wasn't my favorite.
However, it's not something that I can't eat.
I'll probably eat all of it. It might be an acquired taste.
