Sounds great!!I go to the gym three time a week, I've started learning french on my train home from work.
I also knit and craft but I've lost my umph for it at the moment. I'm determined to learn to crochet.
I'm also keen to get more into my gardening but the weather had just been rubbish.
I also enjoy selling on eBay and shopping.
My husband loves genealogy and the DNA tests etc, very interesting. He found out he has Brummie roots which is funny as when he met me in Birmingham 20 years ago, he had no idea that he had ancestors in the area, being Welsh.My main hobby is genealogy. I love finding out about my ancestors and the DNA tests have taken it to a whole new level.
The only real way to improve your speaking is to go there. Iβm a French teacher and even with a degree Iβm still better at listening than speaking. Itβs a confidence thing too. For writing could you maybe look online for a pen pal or by now they must have email pals.Sounds great!!
I started learning French too since i already have a background from school but I'm better at understanding than speaking rn, any tips to how to improve? (Speaking and writing)
I dont speak French but was in a similar situation a year ago about learning 2/3 of my home languages. I understood them perfectly but couldn't string a sentence together to save my life!Sounds great!!

Thanks for the encouragementI dont speak French but was in a similar situation a year ago about learning 2/3 of my home languages. I understood them perfectly but couldn't string a sentence together to save my life!
Youtube is a GREAT resource for languages. I used to write down all key words/sentences/words I needed in the moment but couldn't think of in my notes section on my phone to always refer too. I also started watching a lot of tv shows and movies in that language and that REALLY helped me.
Bit of a weird fact here but i used to converse with myself in the language, in my head. I started with generic conversations like asking how people are, how's the weather, where is this, how to get here etc and then moved along to more complicated stuff and eventually built up the courage to start talking to some of my family with phrases/sentences I learnt. It was a really fun learning experience. Try to talk to as many people as you can in the language and dont be afraid to use the wrong tenses, I still do that but at least my general query gets across I feel like I'm semi fluent now as I can definitely hold a conversation, before I would stutter and break off in to English every chance I got.
You could try and find a native French speaker to meet for conversation, unless that is what your friend is. I have British friends living in Europe who do that for the people in the same city who want to learn English.Thanks for the encouragement
Yea i think what i miss is a francophone although just yesterday i texted an old friend who speaks French to catch up and probably ask her to help me
