    Story of loveliness for you all because you've been so well behaved recently.I dated an Italian guy for about 3 months six years ago, and my mum decided it was time to start learning Italian.The relationship didn't last but my mum never stopped learning Italian by herself in retirement. She's never had a teacher or been to a class; she's taught herself from apps and lots of books I've thrown at her. She speaks Italian with the strongest English accent you've ever heard. There's no doubt to anyone that she is not a native speaker.So last week she went to Turin for a couple of days, and she came back *buzzing*. She's been to Italy before and spoken Italian but this time was different. She was having conversations in Italian with everyone about everything. Basic conversations but she was doing it and loving it. In one restaurant the waiter couldn't possibly believe that she was an English person speaking this language. English?! English people only speak English! What the actual?! He was so overjoyed at her efforts that he kept bringing her all sorts of free food and limoncello until she asked him to stop.When I spoke to her a couple of days ago she said it's so weird that you sit at home and learn this language but it doesn't mean anything. It's all nonsense. But then you go to a different country and say the nonsense words and people actually understand you!I've always loved learning languages and this just warmed my cold, dead heart a wee bit.#LanguageLearning #Italian #languages

    @NatureMC I would use Inkscape. It's more like Illustrator than InDesign, but it's more than enough for zines.

    My copy of the @404mediaco zine has arrived! It is beautifully printed and I can't wait to dive in. Love receiving physical media from them (and in general).#404media #zines

    Quite by chance, I stumbled across the good old #zines (still existing/coming back?). I remember them from the 1980s/90s. Are zines really a thing again? Can you tell me more about them? Is it a new cultural phenomenon, why do you like or make them? I'm super curious and fascinated!Here some history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zine#zineLibrary #miniZines #artbook #bookstodon #writersCommunity #writers #illustrators
