Greek
Quite a lot, at least compared to my recent standards. I think focusing on Greek alone for the SC was the right move. Since my last update, I've read Plato's Amatores, Minos, Alcibiades 2, and about a third of the Parmenides. I also plan to read quite a bit of Plutarch this summer. So far, I've almost finished the Coriolanus. I'm ahead on reading, but behind on listening.

Latin
A few hundred lines of the Aeneid.

German
A bit of listening, some Linguno, very little reading. I have not yet managed to do substantial amounts of Greek and German in the same day.

Spanish
Most of a podcast (Locos por los clásicos) on Arrian's Anabasis. After a discussion of Alexander's decision to return home to Greece, the host played a snippet from John Denver's Take Me Home, Country Roads, and then actually recited the English lyrics with interspersed Spanish translation! One wonders what the desired effect might have been; I found it hilariously incongruous, but that presumably was not the intention.

Hebrew
Part of an Aleph with Beth video. My attempt at Hebrew isn't dead yet!
