2018 - Summary of week 33
Perhaps the most boring update in a long time.
CA: 16th week of Catalan - 15980 reps.
CS: Anki aloud. A little more than 150 cards per day. Nothing new. Maybe this week?
GD: 17th week of Gaelic - 16940 reps.
RU: I finished Genesis and started Exodus. Same narrator (I think). I can't say that I'm able to follow the story, but I wanted to hear more Russian. I'll probably go back to Ангелы и Демоны in a few days.
TN: Almost daily Memrise sessions.
YUE: Anki sentences aloud. ~120 cards per day. Nothing new here either.

2018 - Summary of week 34
CA: 17th week of Catalan - 16940 reps. I spent some time mining resources and found A la carta on the Catalan Radio website. I haven't checked all the 15 pages, but there seems to be at least two novels/series/radionovelas:
Incerta glòria
1714
Maybe I should give Catalan audio a try...
CS: Anki aloud. A little more than 150 cards per day. Nothing new. Plan for next week: Czech101 dialogues.
GD: 18th week of Gaelic - 17990 reps. I was thinking of having a look at An Litir Bheag, but became busy with other stuff.
RU: I finished Exodus, started (and finished) Ilya Frank's (audio) collection of short stories (Tales from Zaikina), and then went on to Ангелы и Демоны. It'll keep me busy for another week or two.
TN: Almost daily Memrise sessions. Things are falling into place little by little.
YUE: Anki sentences aloud. ~120 cards per day. Nothing new here either. Plan for next week: Cantonese101 dialogues.
I finished two crime novels in Swedish, and started a third one.

Re: Jeff's language log
The TN memrise course can be a little tiring, but it is definitely worth the effort.

Re: Jeff's language log
I think we’re all a little burned out on the Setswana Memrise course. That’s why there isn’t much competition for the top spot.

Re: Jeff's language log
I dont know my fail rate, but it feels like I've done all these bua/buela and tla/tswela/tsena prompts a lot of times, while others stick immediately.

Re: Jeff's language log
2018 - Summary of week 36
CA: 19th week of Catalan - 18890 reps. Still nothing else.
CS: Anki aloud. A little more than 150 cards per day. I bumped into two native speakers at work.You know you're a language introvert when... this happens and you don't even say a basic greeting although your brain is full of phrases.
GD: 20th week of Gaelic - 19940 reps. Nothing else. (But I got a postcard from a friend who recently visited Traigh Mor, Isle of Lewis.)
RU: More Ангелы и Демоны, but I had to take the Sunday off because a fever hit me like a truck.
TN: Daily Memrise sessions. Some shorter, some longer.
YUE: Anki sentences aloud. ~120 cards per day.
I finished another crime novel in Swedish.

CA: 20th week of Catalan - 19940 reps.
CS: Anki aloud. A little more than 150 cards per day. I listened to an old dialogue from CzechClass101.
GD: 21st week of Gaelic - 20990 reps. I also listened to some music with lyrics in the language.

TN: Daily Memrise sessions. Zenmonkey is in the lead.
YUE: Anki sentences aloud. ~120 cards per day. I listened to an old dialogue from CantoneseClass101.
I finished another crime novel in Swedish. One day at work, I was approached by a Russian visitor who had gotten my name from a mutual friend of ours: "He said you know tons of languages!"

CA: 21th week of Catalan - 20990 reps.
CS: Anki aloud. A little more than 150 cards per day. I continued listening to some of the old dialogues. Zenmonkey's Three Monkeys approach gave me some tools to work with.
GD: 22st week of Gaelic - 22040 reps.
RU: I'm almost done with Ангелы и Демоны.
TN: Daily Memrise sessions. This was a slightly more difficult week for me. I was stuck with reviews and almost couldn't catch up.
YUE: Anki sentences aloud. ~120 cards per day. Same approach as with Czech.
ZH: The AwesomeTTS preset which I've been using hasn't worked for some time now, so I had a look at another one which also had more voices to choose between. It worked perfectly.
I finished two crime novels in Swedish, plus Sounds Appealing by David Crystal. I cancelled a trip to the mainland and had a relaxed weekend instead.
