It is Friday and I've completed my Language Exchanges for the week, although I'll probably have one more tomorrow. I've been given a couple of links which people might find useful.
A list of En<->Fr cognates:

https://savoirs.rfi.fr/fr I have been doing a lot of French and Italian language exchanges, but I still don't think my listening comprehension is improving. For this I think I need to just expand my vocabulary since often the thing that snags me is one unknown word will throw my concentration off the rails and I just get lost.
Oh well, that is life I guess. So what did I do this week.
3 French LE's one of which was ad-hoc since the person called me and I just happened to have some free time on Skype so we chatted. Mostly in French because their English is worse than my French. I know a lot of you who have seen me speaking French don't believe that this is actually possible, but trust me in this case it is.
1 LE in Italian and the other was cancelled. This time is was cancelled by me. I try to always force myself to complete any LE scheduled if I feel like it or not, but this time it was a external issue which I forced me to cancel.
No Mandarin, there was the potential to do a lesson on Wednesday by I had an interview to go to so couldn't make it. Should hopefully begin Chinese again next week.
Setswana, I have done a little here and there, but will probably lose out to Brun Ugle in the 6WC. She is another language machine. *sigh* However, we do have a potential Native Speaker for our study group. If it works out then it will be great because there is a lot of questions around the actual pronunciation of some of the words and phrases we've got.
Took me back to the Polyglot Gathering a little
