Where are you going? How long will you be here? Are you planning to do some traveling or staying mostly in their city/state? Is this your first time here?

10 days! She's in a really fun city but I won't say which one, just that the weather will be niiiiicceee and I'll need suncream but it won't be unbearable. We might travel but we've only got vague plans for that atm. I've been a few places in America and I have LOVED it each time.

That sounds really fun! I hope you get to see and do some awedome things!

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks Today I'm sure we will ☺️

Getting married about this time next year

I'm gonna be doing a homestay in the summer to improve my language skills. First time living with strangers and hopefully communicating almost entirely in target language: German. Got 4 months to prepare. I'm trying to learn as much as possible. Excited and nervous.

Not to dampen your mood, but you might have to actively bring the Germans to speak German with you, they tend to immediately switch to their own broken English, although, it might also be a super fluent English depending on whom you met

[–] droning_in_my_ears@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah I heard about that.

Although the whole purpose is to practice language for me and the host is aware of that so I'll try as much as possible to stick to German. My German is somewhere around the low B1 high A2 range. Hopefully 4 months can make it confidently B1. Idk

Oh and another thing. The types of people who immediately switch to fluent English are young people in cities. This is gonna be some small town in southern Germany. Hopefully their English isn't great either haha.

Oh southern german, village place. Then you will get either swabian or bavarian flavored German, both very cute dialects, although sometimes heavy. Enjoy the experience either way!

Next weekend. Got a couple things planned I'm excited for.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ooooh what are you going to do?

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

I plan to attend the big, monthly, bicycle cruise and i haven't been in a while. It will be a bit cold but i have the itch!

Then, I planned a little watch-party with friends for the MotoGP race. That is exciting and will be fun.

But there's one more thing that I'm excited and a little anxious for that I'm hesitant to say for fear of it blowing away. 😶

Ordering a split keyboard. I've been looking at several options on !mechanical_keyboards@programming.dev, I think I now know which one I want

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I had to Google what that was... what's the advantages?

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Split keyboards are generally better for ergonomics as you can have your hands at a better angle and distance

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ahhhh clever

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 weeks ago

The sweet release of d… Ah, no. Too morbid.

The collapse of the U… No. Too political.

I've got some very nice tea (an Anhui "golden flower" black tea) coming in a couple of days. I'm looking forward to that because golden flower tea is almost unbearably tasty.

Visiting Paris next week for the first time. Trying to get slightly fluent asap with the Michel Thomas discs. Haven't planned well enough, it's going to be a mess.

Where's the good bread at?

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Enjoy!

Feel free to come to !forumlibre@jlai.lu to ask your questions, it's the general chat French speaking community (!france@jlai.lu is more about news)

I didn't know they existed! I might wow them with my schoolgirl friend. "The mouse is in the tree crying" "in Spain the horse went rollerskating" etc etc

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

C'est parfait pour moi, merci! J'ai besoin de m'entraîner à lire davantage.

A few TV shows are the closest I get.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Remodeling a house and can't wait to move in - hoping for May, but probably June. I'm so excited about having my bed and coffee machine on the same level!

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I found from table runner patterns and I've started working on making some for the TV stand and what have you. I haven't had the energy to work on crafts, so I'm just excited I want to do it at. I can't wait to complete something again.

Not looking forward to ass to mouth anything, honestly.
