@lemmy.worldPeace be with you! I'm a member of the Catholic Church who, due to difficult life circumstances, cannot make it to church every Sunday and so it's nice to have a little online space to commune with fellow Christians. I'm prone to being lazy in my faith because of my inability to attend church so I hope being a part of this community will keep my spirits up.
Pimsleur got me speaking French pretty fluidly and with almost no accent very quickly. I haven't studied much in any other language but I'm super loyal to Pimsleur now and when I decide I want to learn another language consistently, I will be using Pimsleur for speaking.
This happens to me too pretty randomly. 99% of the time I read for pleasure and actually pay attention, but sometimes when I'm reading a book I'm not interested in or something else is on my mind I read the words but can't absorb them. Could read a whole book like that and not be able to tell you what it was about.
