I learned a lot about Korean culture and some Korean language that way :D and I also learned English this way when I moved from Russia to America 20 plus years ago. Good luck on your goals!

As you are in the US, go to your library website, I bet they have TumbleBooks and/or similar programs where you can read their online kids books in Spanish. You could also read a book you know well and love, like Harry Potter or other in Spanish? Have you used Duolingo? It's a great free website and app. Makes learning languages easier and more funEmma at Words And Peace / France Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426924864218623976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-28309369215276620292020-01-19T21:45:11.775-07:002020-01-19T21:45:11.775-07:00It's great if you can find a second jib thats ...It's great if you can find a second jib thats something that you like doing. I've had a few. I "babysat" three girls between the ages of ten and fifteen, in the evenings while their mom worked. I was there mostly to keep them for burning down the house cooking and to make sure they did their homework. The rest of the time I watched television with the them. Ha ha. I also used to read to an elderly man three nights a week. Watching older kids five plus years old is probably my favorite extra job. 👍✨<br /><br />The racoon meme had me crying. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂<br /><br />Pages Unbound did a blog post about using Pinterest. They get a lot of traffic from Pinterest,too. I also want to start figuring out the Pinterest thing! 💻<br /><br />I have shot guns. It's really nothing special. I think people who get off on intimidating others are the ones who turn into gun crazies. 😛<br /><br />Good luck with your goals! 🙌🙌🙌La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-85317427955716818932020-01-19T19:59:18.851-07:002020-01-19T19:59:18.851-07:00Se puede aprender Español.

Of course, you are way ahead of me. I hope you are able to find a job that will be what you need. I don't know how people juggle two jobs long term.

Especially for reviews, so I'll keep pinning :P I love the hiking goal as I totally love hiking, and I also really enjoy cooking so I am looking forward to you making more food and doing cooking things :D I also definitely approve of the horror or scary writing one. My wip for this year is a black, female-centric horror novel so if you want a scary writing partner, you know where to find me ;) I have been working on Spanish this month and it's... going? I hope it goes well for you too.

And yeah Idk how one survives without a car (though to be fair I have always lived in an area with nearly non-existent public transportation so it was never an option). I hope they both go well! I need to get my ass into some kind of shape, that is one of my biggest goals for sure, but I want it to be something I actually like, because I don't need to be doing MORE stuff I hate 😂 <br /><br />As for the affiliate links... I think I have earned $20 in SIX YEARS from Amazon. Which is better than the $0 I earned from TBD, which is why I stopped using those. They were such a hassle and I never got a cent. Amazon is super easy to link to at least, and since I am linking anyway, might as well. I do use Google AdSense, and I have earned like, $200 in 6 years, whcih isn't great but it's better than the others. Also, do you know what an absolute GEM you are for shopping through people's links!? Like you are the BEST. <br /><br />I would like to relearn/for real learn Spanish. I was actually a Spanish major for two years but it just... didn't go great. Maybe we should just start talking to each other in Spanish and see how it goes 😂Shannon @ It Starts at Midnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043593641190645773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-63980384822174506742020-01-18T08:26:44.299-07:002020-01-18T08:26:44.299-07:00I hope your hiking goal is successful.

Could you you maybe make your second job something self-employed like leading a group of unfit nature lovers on an hour's weekly stroll at $5 a person?!<br />With regards to the affiliate links, in November I earned a massive £14.38, but December was 58p and January grossed 64p which is more like the usual. I think of affiliate marketing as like the lottery - one day I'll get that jackpot!Stephanie Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071958445763105060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-52325917717081365332020-01-18T05:24:51.923-07:002020-01-18T05:24:51.923-07:00I should add all these to my 2020 goals.

Working at the library has revolutionised my cooking life though - sometimes I just take cookbooks home to read and never make anything, but I love Jack Monroe's books (she has a blog too although it'll be all English measurements.)

Hiking and being outdoors is always good, so I hope you get to do more of that!<br /><br />I've toyed with the idea of signing up to be an Amazon affiliate. I don't think my blog is big enough or gets enough traffic.

I love that gorgeous racoon and yes, cake saved his life from Pennywise! If I lived in the US, I would have guns for home defense and go to gun ranges to ensure I don't shoot my foot off in a crisis! In the UK we aren't allowed to own guns so that option isn't available. I can't even buy machetes for the zombie apocalypse as I don't have a photo ID!<br /><br />For wilderness survival I suggest John Wiseman's pocket sized book 'SAS Survival Handbook'. It tells you everything about finding food and water, calling for help, shelter, traps etc. It's a great book and tells you how to carry a small survival kit without needing a horse to carry it! I'm useless at computer things but my background on the blog came from Pixabay which has tons of free stuff to use.chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-612088367125036442020-01-16T22:09:57.285-07:002020-01-16T22:09:57.285-07:00Oh my gosh that pic for #1- right??

But health I guess- I should run more. *grumbles* <br /><br />Spanish haha. I took two years in high school and today am like no habla. <br /><br />I haven't shot a gun in ages. My dad used to take me in the woods and we'd target shoot. It was... fun, I guess? I know people though who have like 78 guns and they love on them, and I'm like... not that into it lol. Target shooting can be fun though I guess. Zombie apocalypse practice I suppose. <br /><br />The affiliate thing has me curious too. I keep wondering why aren't I doing that?

I thought of all the stuff I have done, and the things I enjoyed most were my volunteer jobs. So, yeah, I will be cheering for both of us to find greener pastures. You have some great goals. I don't really eat too much frozen stuff, but I should try to eat better. Though, my ramen is vegan, organic, and non-GMO (I'm just saying). I did a raw thing several years ago, and it's great, because all the food is unprocessed. Other than the gas, I felt great.
