SaturdayAfter I posted on Saturday, I actually ended up being pretty productive. I wrote 400 words in French about a book that I just read, and I watched an episode of Call My Agent (Dix pour cent). I usually use French subtitles when I watch the show, but there are still a lot of words I don't understand. I think I need to put more effort into learning vocabulary, and then hopefully I'll feel more comfortable turning subtitles off.
I also started studying Ancient Greek again. I don't plan on studying it very often, just once in a while when I have time. I reviewed Lesson 1, which is about the alphabet.
SundayOn Sunday, I reviewed my Anki flashcards and did Lesson 2 of my Ancient Greek book. This lesson covered accentuation, punctuation, and parts of speech.
MondayToday I took the day off work, so I had a French lesson in the morning. It went really well! I was able to speak about a bunch of different topics without hesitating often, and my teacher kept saying that my French is great. After the lesson, I wondered whether I could finish the writing goal that I set at the end of December. I had only written 1700 words out of 3000. So I started writing, and to my surprise I ended up writing an entire short story in French! I was really excited because I don't usually write short stories in English, much less in any other languages. In fact in the 10+ years I studied Spanish, I don't think I ever wrote a short story in it. It's definitely not well-written, but I had fun writing it. And it was 1300 words, which means I completed my writing goal.
