Muchas gracias Allison

So I have started to watch my first spanish film- only 20min in but can pick out occasional words its a start! the film is called Sidetracked and its about two brothers (one is trying for a baby and one is divorced/separated and with a younger lady- their dad has dementia) its good so far! Reading subtitles and film at same time i can just manage- maybe because sign language im listening with watching the signs?

Feel more comfortable with bsl as feel i dont forget much and its like a sponge whereas spanish (- not french tho ) feel i struggle to remember things :s

Spent this morning listening to coffee break spanish l(prefer to spanish 101) only one clip but will listen to few more later

Thats it for now will update again soon!

Hello

So have read a few pages of spanish in 12 weeks- been picking 7 words and trying to remember them and think every few days pick another 7 and remember them technique....

Will listen to coffee break podcasts now and probably be in the morning.... and the film in the evenings

Also have someone who know on fb who lives in spain and asked if can grab me some magazines to practise reading with

Anyway thats it for now!

Adios xx

Today im not feeling well and been up since 4am but attempted Spanish and French proficiency tests online- on A1 (Beginner) still but here are the results:

Spanish-

Got 37% 55/150

grammar 1 - 13%
grammar 2- 47%
vocab- 63%
reading- 30%

French -

Got 42% 63/150

grammar 1- 47%
grammar 2 - 27%
vocab- 30%
reading- 70%

Not bad on both (and I kind of rushed through it and had few distractions and done one after the other) will keep doing the tests every few months I think to see if any progress but space them out and take my time!

Thats all for updates for now
