Perchta's 2020

Hi!
Last year, I entered this forum and I enjoyed it. But unfortunately, I had a lot of things to do with my final year of my university studies, the new job etc. I didn't have enough time for it and eventually, I absolutely forgot it Now, my life has settled down a bit, so I am back
So what languages am I learning?
French
I spent a year in Belgium, so I speak French the best. Last year, I passed the DALF C1. I was attending a C1 French course at Prague's IF (no higher level available)... until last Tuesday. Now all the courses are closed because of the coronavirus The French library the same So I have to rely on myself.
The next month:
- write all the homeworks we got before the course stopped
- listen to all the France Culture podcasts I have downloaded
-write some texts on Lang-8 and iTalki
- review some legal French terminology.
English
It used to be my first language. But I hated my high school English teacher, so I stopped learning it. At the university, I met a great teacher who gave me the will to continue. I learn on myself, now beginning with a CAE textbook. I hope to pass it the CAE this year, but I'll see if I'm good enough. I want to take a course at the British Council before.
The next month:
- write a lot to find where I do mistakes
- read English websites on various topics
- review some legal English terminology
German
I started learning German when I was 8. I often visited Germany and Austria and I found it unpleasant to not understand a word of what they say. All the time long, I learn it on my own. Now I have a B1+ textbook. I'm thinking about taking a German course once, but I want to do what I can on my own. I'm a bit specific learner (compared to my usual classmates): I'm not able to sit down and learn 30 words for the next lesson. I'm pretty good at the grammar, but I have to use the vocabulary to remember it. I'm not able to concentrate on the grammar exercises (ADHD). So I found I'm my best teacher until high levels
The next month
- write a lot
- read a lot various internet websites + remember one word of any article
- begin learning legal German
Dutch
I began to learn it when living in Belgium. Dutch is pretty similar to German, so after having understood the pronunciation and the main differences, I reached the A2 level quickly. Now, it's a bit more difficult...
The next month
- write a "diary" in Dutch
- begin with writing articles on various topics
Hungarian
I began to learn this language because I find it interesting - it is so different! Now I'm struggling with the object conjugation.
Hebrew
When I was a small child, I learnt the Hebrew alphabet. Now I would like to learn the language as well. I also like the Jewish culture.
I'll write here something sometimes I'll (try to) write things that might be interesting for you, not just "I'm in the next unit of the book" as I did last year
