Nothing big or perfect — just simple things I’d like to have more space for in my life, like baking sourdough bread, reading more books, and sewing more. I also talk about how I see resolutions not as obligations, but as gentle directions. This is a calm and reflective episode to start the year slowly and intentionally.New Words:​resoluções = resolutions​massa-mãe = sourdough​costurar = to sew​máquina de costura = sewing machine​passo = step

There’s no grammar and no specific vocabulary today — just a moment to pause, reflect on the year, and say thank you. I talk about learning languages, about ups and downs, about growth, and about continuing this journey calmly, without pressure. This episode is an invitation to end the year gently and look ahead to 2026 with curiosity and kindness.New Wordsdesafio = challengeaprendizagem = learningpressa = rush / hurrycaminho = path / journey

I explain how my breakfast changes throughout the year, and I describe my current autumn routine: toasted oats with butter and honey, warm fruit from the freezer, chia pudding made the night before, Greek yogurt, rosehip powder, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes and a splash of milk.
