Language Mindset

Might sound crazy but...


Curious how we can make language learning fun for your kiddo, Reader?

Let me share something quirky: You’re not alone if you’ve done “crazy” things to practice a language.

Here's my confession: Every morning, I grab my coffee, look at my black cat, Dean, and tell him the weather—in German.

Me: Wie ist das Wetter heute? [What's the weather today]

Dean, the cat: Meow.

Me: Es ist kalt [it's cold]

Dean, the cat: Meeeeeeeoow [walks away]

Why? Because Dean’s a great listener, and hey, no judgment from him. Many polyglots do this—talking to pets, themselves, or plants to sneak in daily practice. Two minutes a day? It works!

Want to start a fun routine too? Grab a weather tracker here:

And let the small talk begin—pets optional but encouraged!

And for Chinese? I’m diving into our comics. Honestly, I’ll probably read them to my dog, Mijo. (He pretends to care.) Bonus: our books come with audio, so I can send mini updates to our Chinese teacher, Shuyan, and see if I can surprise her with my progress!

Now let’s talk about YOU.
