Aujourd'hui, je suis très fatigué. Je ne sais pas quoi écrire.
So, I will write in English. Fatigué is a great word, because it describes the extreme tiredness I feel right now. I spent a lot of time this week at doctor appointments, and I have more than I want from now to the end of October.
But, I continue on with French. I haven't given up, but I have lightened up.
- I'm still watching
TV5Monde daily.
- I continue to practice with Memrise and Duolingo, but it's only every other day now.
- I watch an episode of French In Action every other day, but I haven't opened the text or workbook in two weeks.
- I did get an encouraging message from
Bylan about French In Action.
Merci, mon ami.
- On his language log, Bylan, wrote, "I've finished Pimsleur 1 and I'm onto 2. It's great to have a way to express the past tense in French now, and it's liberating to be focusing on real grammar with Pimsleur rather than hammering the numbers over and over and over (that was painful)." That encourages me to keep moving forward with Pimsleur. I'm up to lesson 13.
- I did watch a documentary on the
Legion Étrangère. No, I'm not going to join (too old, too fat, too sick). But, it is interesting watching how they teach new recruits French (you don't need to speak it when you join).
I spent some time experimenting with the [audio] and [soundcloud] tags. I found that they work well on my laptop computer with Windows10, but not on my Android tablet with Facebook. They will work with Chrome on the tablet.
Later today, or tomorrow, I am going to record myself reading French out loud and post it here. This is your only warning!
Be prepared.
All the best,
Tom
