First paragraph sounds like a nice way to fill that "endless scrolling through social media while waiting and bored" with a healthy habit. I like that.
I think with math I really enjoyed watching videos from Khan Academy. It was super easy to follow them always and don't need to always try it for yourself to get something out of that. Otherwise yeah it's very taxing.
I have no experience with Irish but it sounds tough.. I recall we have quite a few people here who have mentioned learning Irish. Maybe make a post in this community and find others learning Irish for some peer support on that specific language? The language looks beautiful. ALSO: it is allowed to make language specific posts here too. You can even make simplified/easy posts in your target language to get some practice if you want! I usually "tag" the posts with [LANGUAGE] incase in the future we get tags in lemmy.
I am so happy to hear that your mood is getting better and that you are sleeping properly. I am the opposite right now but going to start sleeping earlier again now.
I never thought to make a post about Irish or the like, but I might at some point. It's just I feel inadequate to start talking about it just yet, so early in my Irish learning journey. Also on the other both ends, there's Japanese and Spanish too, but I also haven't seen much threads on those here yet either. I like Lemmy, but I guess it could use more activity. I'll see if I can post anything sometime soon then, to see if I can get the ball rolling.
I appreciate you posting these threads however, they're nice.
Good luck on rejigging the sleep, it takes a fair amount of effort to just go to bed on time, especially so if you just want to stay up and do more since you're on a roll or something.
For finding posts in specific languages, maybe create an account in another instance and there have filters set so only the languages you're learning appear? Iirc, on Lemmy you need to select the languages to appear in instance.domain/settings while holding ctrl, akin to selecting files in a file browser.
Yup. Select boxes would be neat.
Never knew about this, but I'll probably only stick with the singular account for now. I follow a few zines, and most of them for languages are sorta dead, so no idea how much traction those smaller communities would take up and how dispersed I'd be with multiple accounts.
Cheers for the advice though.
I understand, no stress! And was already told you in a comment below that you might not see posts in those languages (although in this comm you should, I have force out "undetermined" as comm language).
Glad to hear these posts are nice :)
And thanks! I really struggle with going to sleep.. There isn't enough free time after work during the weekdays...
