Hi again! This week has been quite difficult for me (emotionally) so I haven’t been very productive :( It sucks, but today I put myself together and did these (hopefully pretty) illustrations! They are (not 100% accurate) representations of the histology of the lung, stained with Masson’s thichrome🔬💙

“Je suis libre. Je ferme les yeux et réfléchis intensément à cette liberté. Mais je n'arrive pas très bien à comprendre ce que cela signifie. Tout ce que je sais, c'est que je suis seul, dans un endroit inconnu. Un explorateur solitaire qui a perdu sa boussole et sa carte. C'est ça, la liberté ? J'en sais rien, et je renonce à poursuivre ma réflexion.”
— Haruki Murakami

Listen up, folks!
I recently found a website called FutureLearn that has a lot of free courses from universities all over the world.
Some of them are on languages!
I just finished taking Introduction to Norwegian (via the University of Oslo) and it was very complimentary to my Duolingo and other self-studying! I think that there is an Intro to Italian and an Intro to Frisian class on there right now for those interested!
I highly recommend you check this out, whether or not it’s for language.
Happy studying!

In French we don’t say “love at first sight” we say “un coup de foudre” which literally translates to “a clap of thunder” and that’s the stuff people write novels about.

French Learning App Recommendation!
Hi everyone, I haven’t been active here for the last month. This is because I haven’t been active in language learning in my real life due to personal reasons. But I came back with an amazing app recommendation!
The app’s name is Learn French with Le Monde. As far as I know Le Monde is a famous newspaper in France. We use it in class to review news with our teacher. The app has a one week free trial. You get access to the classes daily after your free trial. I haven’t bought the premium version yet. But I’m planning to after my trial ends.
I think you need to know basic A1 level French in order to use it more efficiently. In the app you listen a video and answer questions according to the video. You can choose the vocabulary you don’t know and they’ll show you the meanings in a sentence with Fr/Ca pronunciation. It also ends with a cultural movie/song/tv series reference that is commonly known in France.
The app also has a page in the correction page where they’ll you about the historical figures and other cultural stuff you may not know but has appeared in the lesson. Also a bonus: It is available in both English and French. But I think if your phone language is French the app will appear in French. I personally think it is very useful for listening and grammar and also makes you review everything!
It has a section where you can choose Spicy (includes adult stuff but not like +18 😅 this is language learning app) Non spicy (kid friendly) version.
I say give it a chance! This is definitely not an ad since I only have like a hundred followers and don’t know anyone from Le Monde. I personally love and use the app and I recommend it to everyone who wants to learn French.
See you guys later, I hope I can go back to study more efficiently and daily.

Asked my grandma about her old medical textbook from 1989, apparently she used to be a medical assistant! It's never come up before so it was interesting hearing her experiences, esp why she left the medical field

This is my weekend summer project, histological paintings ❤️
I’ve done three, but this one is my favourite one so far👁
This is my inspo👆🏻 I just changed the colours so it would match the Masson’s Trichrome stain rather than simple H & E staining🥰
Hope you like it as much as I do! See you soon❤️
