I keep trying to make myself write these posts in French but you know what? I don't like typing in French very much, and this is an issue I have. I like writing in French, by hand. I genuinely enjoy that. But typing in French? Ugh. Not so much. Is it weird that i have varied preferences when it comes to typing in my TLs? German is a little annoying but not that bad. Spanish is easier, and I like typing in Gaelic, unless it's in a live Twitch chat then it's stressful.
Breton is a
serious pain to type in using a QWERTY keyboard, but Welsh and Cornish are much easier by comparison. And Irish is not too bad if I can remember how to spell things. Russian is just plain hard for me because I don't practice enough, but what's my excuse with French? I dunno. I just don't like typing in it. Words that need a circumflex are especially annoying because I have little girly fingers and that stretch to the 6 key is a pain.
My Dutch 6WC got a little sidetracked when I discovered that I can understand a fair amount of spoken Dutch for my level and I excitedly went off looking for media online to check out. I settled on
Toon, a Netflix series that is well-written and well-acted and is NOT about the end of the world, like about 80% of non-English Netflix series seem to be these days.
Update for my SCs:
Нюхач, 2 episodes - 97 minutes
Hey, ich bin Jude! – Jung. Jüdisch. Deutsch. - 43 minutes
#FragEinenJungen, Teile 1 & 2 - 41 minutes
Toon, 5 episodes - 120 minutes
Ros na Rún, 3 episodes - 72 minutes
My Book SCs have really slowed down with my reading
Metro 2033 in 3 languages and with reading some English language stuff on the side. I need to make time for my French and Celtic language reading, although I may need to wait until November is over because of my 6WC and Navajo review. But I did finish my other Spanish book, at least.
Cántico por Liebowitz - 428 paginas
Además de leer
Metro 2033, estoy ahora re-leyendo
El aprendiz de Linda Sue Park. Las bibliotecas aquí no han vuelto a sus horarios previos a la pandemia, y mis libros se renovaron automáticamente ya que no hice una cita para devolverlos. Desde que tengo mas tiempo con estos libros, debería aprovecharlo al máximo.
El aprendiz es un libro muy interesante y me gustan mucho los escritos de Park, pero probablemente me perdí mucho cuando lo leí por primera vez. Creo que sería beneficioso para releerlo.

: : I finished the first module of the Memrise Dutch course and have started the second module. It's the third module I'm dreading though--for some reason, that's been the longest module in the other Memrise courses I've done and I'm assuming it's the same with Dutch. I don't know why Memrise had to do their courses like that.

: Nothing exciting to report about my Navajo review. I'm going through Goossen again, writing stuff in my journal, watching videos on You Tube, doing drills when I remember, digging through some Navajos' old tweets for a few new vocabulary words. I am not too far behind schedule but I need to get a little ahead on this actually, because Thanksgiving is a' coming and guess who does all the cooking in this house.
