Take care of yourself and enjoy yourself. If you miss the odd week we will understand and when you are able to make them they will be better than if you just pushed them out. Robyn

I like your beautiful smile! This channel makes me dive into reading more books! 😍

[nadielekailanearnoldo]

Girl, you are so me that I had to write another comment, I know the struggles of wanting to do it all & be perfect at it all and simply overwhelm yourself to the core. You got this!!! Take care of yourself <3

[afreeman]

Thank you from China. Your pronunciation is very clear, I have been watching your videos to learn English.❤

[brenboothjones]

I know what you mean about languages “elbowing their way to the front”—and btw you’re still articulate! Loving your French adventure! ✨

You're incredibly eloquent. It's a pleasure to listen to you.

[TheLinguistsLibrary]

Thank you for sharing your story, I'm sure your grandma is very proud of you. I hope you get a chance to go the IÎle des Impressionnistes, it was my favorite place to write when I lived in Paris. There is a horse riding school there--Poney-club de l'Ile it's lovely.

[brenboothjones]

Thanks for the shoutout by the way, dear Maria! I hope you enjoy A Moveable Feast! Xo

Liebe Maria, es ist so toll dein Update zu hören/zu sehen! Wie schön, dass es dir gut geht, du dich immer weiter in die Stadt verliebst und dir deinen Traum mit dem Auslandssemester erfüllst. Großes Kompliment, dass du dich der Herausforderung gestellt hast und immer noch stellst! Genieß deine Zeit und nimm alles mit, was du mitnehmen kannst. Ich verstehe total, was du meinst, dass du es gerne alles dokumentieren möchtest und dass es dir wichtig ist, konsistent zu sein, ich bin da ähnlich. Aber du hast absolut recht, du musst auf deinen Körper hören und wir werden auch mal eine Woche oder mehr ohne ein Video von dir schaffen 😉 Hab es gut und pass auf dich auf, du rockst das! 💪

[garymepsted]

I really appreciate your videos.They are the perfect way to begin my Sunday. Strange Lucidity, a coffee and a bagel. Hearing about your punishing schedule frequently propels me into work mode. Those sentences do not write themselves... All the best, Maria.

Every time I watch your videos I get more inspired and determined to keep learning. Enjoy your time in Paris, greetings from Greece!

[Lisa-qthh]

What a lovely story about your grandmother, Maria <3 Very relatable too as someone who is a first generation student. Enjoy the rest of your time in Paris and don't worry about making video's. Only make something if you really want to and when you have the peace of mind to do it. It does not have to be perfect and scripted either. Just a casual vlog where you read and take us places is already so lovely.

[radiantchristina]

Girl, here is my motherly advice to you -enjoy your time there since it will pass so quickly. Your immersion into your studies and the culture should be priorities. You don't want to look back and regret that you didn't do all the things because you prioritized making videos.
Some day in the future you can always go through your footage and create videos after the fact if you really want to.

[jackintheworld]

What you are doing is already extraordinary, Maria! Posting weekly doesn't make it more extraordinary. The rhythm of your facinations is your own. And that is why we love your gorgeous videos.

[CLARAROJAS-jdnt]

Greetings from Colombia, take café yourself. Thanks for sharing your feelings and learnigs. keep going! 😅

[InvaderSyd]

I love your grandmother's story. Thank you for sharing.

[Raventooth]

woah. Thanks for sharing that little bit at the end (and not editing it out of the video). My grandmother was also in Austria when the War broke out. Full dramatic arc in this one.

Hope this helps:
He was convicted OF (X crime).
He was sentenced TO (Y punishment).
Prepositions are problematic in every language that uses them.
I hope that you continue to enjoy yourself in Paris!

[mmclaug]

An inspiring video. I hope you continue to enjoy Paris. Thank you for sharing your thoughts/feelings/ideas.

Using Audible to listen while you read the text is such a clever way to learn.

Your time in Paris looks wonderful so far, so happy for you ! <3
