Today, I spent time practicing my handwriting in both Hebrew and Spanish. It’s always fascinating to see how my letters look on the page, and I’ve included a sample of my handwriting below for anyone who’s curious. For me, learning to write in different languages is more than just memorizing new words—it’s about connecting with a new culture and giving my brain a healthy challenge.

Handwriting in a foreign language, whether it’s Hebrew or Spanish, helps me internalize the language in a more personal way. Each character or letter feels like a small victory. I’m also planning to stay active today with some physical exercise, because I know that keeping my body moving helps my mind stay sharp for learning.

I recently asked ChatGPT whether learning two languages at once is good for your brain, and the answer was encouraging. Not only can it make you more fluent in each language, but it also helps your brain become more flexible and adaptable. Working on multiple languages trains you to switch between different ways of thinking, which is great for mental agility.

One thing I’d love to try is finding a pen pal—someone who is also interested in learning Hebrew or Spanish (or both!). If anyone out there wants to exchange handwritten letters, let me know in the comments. Writing real letters could be a fun way to practice and connect with others on this language journey.

If you have any tips for learning new scripts or want to be pen pals, I’d love to hear from you!
