I hope that journaling will help me stop wasting time scrolling on social mediate and media in general. Journaling is basically just writing stuff on paper. You could write about anything and it it doesn't even have to make sense. The important thing is to start writing and a little every day and do this consistently. You can do it in your native language and even in English if you're feeling brave. Listen to my podcast for more journaling benefits and ideas on what to journal about.

El tequila

Sylvie et Georges font une excursion au Mondarrain. Ils portent des sacs à dos avec des boissons
énergétiques et de la nourriture dedans. Ils marchent dans une forêt jusqu’en fin d’après-midi. Ils trouvent une vieille maison et un lac avec une barque. 
Ils vont sur le lac dans la barque. Soudain, ils entendent un bruit dans la maison. Ils reviennent sur la rive. Ils entrent dans la maison. Ils entendent des bruits dans la cuisine. Ils voient une grande créature poilue. La créature sort de la maison. Elle court vers la forêt.

Why do some English words have an h that we don’t pronounce? Words like honest, hour, and heir keep their French spelling but not their French silence. In this episode, we explore how the Norman Conquest shaped English pronunciation, why some learners drop the h when they shouldn’t — or add it where it doesn’t belong — and how to master the correct use of this subtle sound. You’ll learn what the /h/ sound really is, why it disappears in certain words, and how to train your ear and speech to sound clearer and more natural.
