So Navia is Geo at the end, finally some Geo after such a long time lmao

I'm currently learning Mandarin, I started earlier this year so I think I've been at it since February? With a break of one month to focus on college in between. I started with HelloChinese (similar to Duolingo but better built) but later dropped it off, and started experimenting with different things. Right now I'm doing an Anki deck and going with the immersion approach, I'm working my way through a graded version of Journey to The West and I like watching Comprehensible input and Donghua.

In the future there are other languages I want to pick up but I want to be able to understand native content I'm interested in without too much issue beforehand. I don't like studying it formally because it feels like I'm wasting my time, I have the most fun looking at content and looking up words I don't understand. I feel like I learn more like this like I'd do with grammar drills, Duolingo, or speak early approaches
