My language comfort zone is anything input as well. Language learning as an input activity minimizes social pressure, as it doesn't require immediate conversations or extensive social interactions. Us introverts can study and practice language skills on our own terms, allowing us to feel more comfortable and in control. Great post, as usual!
"I learned early on that the only way to get better at speaking and writing was to speak and write." Simple quotes are the best. 😊
Listening is always the most comfortable for me. Another things that makes me feel so comfy is subtitles in my TL, it's like having the words as an anchor for my attention and comprehension.
Thank you for sharing everything you did out of your comfort zone, how motivating 😊
Yes! I love having subtitles on in my TLs too especially when watching dramas. Even if I have English subs available I always prefer to also have TL subs. In Mandarin is common things will get lost in translation. TL subs ensure I'm able to get the true meaning and take in the context 😊

You summarized my thoughts perfectly! Receptive language skills are just as important as expressive language skills.
Thanks for reading!
