Since the birth of my son, about seven weeks ago, I have had difficulties on finding the time and energy. I haven’t entirely stopped listening podcasts on my languages but meeting people to speak with and especially reading has suffered.
It’s not a crisis really but this time doesn’t lend it self for language studies as good as the time before fatherhood.
Congratulations! I’ve heard that time flies with kids and that you should relish small moments with them as much as possible, so don’t worry about language - but don’t let it go either! That’s you-time hobby when you need it :)
Couldn’t have a much better excuse than that. Go easy on yourself, you’re right to focus your energy on giving him a strong start!
Although while you’re taking care of him, you do have a captive audience for a bit of speaking practice, lol. I’m sure he won’t mind if you make mistakes.
