Although I did all the tasks for the 9th on the day of, I’m posting for two days today with only a personal non-language related notes! :sweat_smile:

Winter song

The song on December 9 was such a funny coincidence for me cause I was just at a disney pop up shop the night before I listened, and heard the same song in the shop. Honestly made me cringe, but watching it last night was fun because I could actually read and sing a long. Turned into a home karaoke session. Happy to be able to read most of the lyrics now!

December 10 was a First Take old rock song. First Take never fails with its production, but the song wasn’t my type I guess.
