The week was exhausting… Because I tried my hardest to use my target language and it takes a lot of effort. But the week has been full of positive encounters and it went ok!
You all have had a good langlearning week, I hope?

Something I found that would help me was a Norwegian police log/announcement feed a defunct bot here on the fediverse, and that I have since replicated it with another tool. They’re short, straight to the point, and help in the field I’m the worst at, vocabulary.
And recently, while browsing the /all page from my instance, I noticed there’s a bot for the Japanese branch of Yahoo News, and their titles felt like the Norwegian police log. I have no use for either, but hey, I consume news a lot already, so why not follow them? e.e
Also as you say, the brain likes shortcuts, so since news follow a similar structure pattern despite the language, it ends up being a comparison shortcut.
Also in case you’d be interested, the bots, both for microblogging platforms or adjacent ones:
