(This blog is the English translation of this week’s primary blog, which was originally written in Spanish.) So now it's the new year… can we start over? Just kidding, but ugh, what a horrible start to the year. I hope there’ll be fewer problems for the rest of 2021, and I won’t give up on … Continue reading A Fresh (and Rotten) Start

(This blog is the English translation of this week’s primary blog, which was originally written in Spanish.) I can hardly believe that this year is going to end in a few weeks.

(This blog is the English translation of this week’s primary blog, which was originally written in Spanish.) This week was weird. My work was busy, at least busier than it usually is, and I was stressed and sleepy. Very sleepy. The one-day weekend didn't help either.

And, well, this blog might be one of them, although I’ve been very clear that I’m not an expert. I’m a student, trying and … Continue reading Learning Languages to Have Fun

(This blog is the English translation of this week’s primary blog, which was originally written in Spanish.) These blogs in Spanish are strange, but I think they’re important.

I watch Netflix and YouTube, listen to podcasts, read books, … Continue reading My Lack of Practice in Spanish Output

(This blog is the English translation of this week’s primary blog, which was originally written in Spanish.) What a strange week, huh? There are strange things going on in the world right now and I feel kind of weird. This pandemic is no joke and I don't think that what’s happening is funny, but, well, … Continue reading The Obligatory Blog About the Coronavirus
