when you learn languages but don't practice speaking or interacting with people:

Cuz the biggest reason for learning is to engage with the original text and feel closer to authors you respect—and just because language itself is fascinating :) btw I’d love to hear about ur favorite authors in your native language. For example, the writer I would most like to introduce to you would be Zishu Li from Malaysia.

thanks in advance! Always have fun learning foreign languages ))
