A new start !
Hello there. It's been a while since I posted here. I decided to track my studies in September and it's been only a week. So here's my log for the past week. I set very big crazy goals, things like finish three course books in French a long with an audio course and for English I will do extensive reading a long with extensive listening to my favorite British tv series and it really seems crazy now, doesn't it?
Okay, now let's see what I have really done in the past week. I didn't study much French as I wanted and planed to. Instead I studied English intensively!
_intensive reading only chapter 2 of a novel by Austin Freeman and I have not finished it yet. I didn't really expected to finish it in the first week anyway -still on going.
_extensive reading to the same novel by Austin Freeman- reached chapter 6.
_extensive listening and heavily to some crime documentaries- which something I enjoy a lot. I've watched more than 10 episodes in a couple of days and that' s what I usually do when I don't feel like studying. While watching sometimes I jot down any noticeable words and that's led me to..
_intensive listening! Yup, and I am enjoying it. I realized how much I miss by listening extensively. I hoped to finish the intensive listening before the end of the week but I only finished 42.5% of the the 40 min episode.
_I added 20 new words from my intensive listening and 12 new words from my intensive reading to ANKI.
_in the last two days I finished only one lesson from the course book element's of French and I didn't stop there, I had to search online for more detailed grammar rules.
I installed TimeMeter to keep a record of how many hours I spend in different activities. I haven't used it much.
What I plan for the new week:
English
>>Finish the intensive listening , add them to Anki, and start a new.
<<Continue my intensive reading-finish at least 4 more intensive reading of chapter 2
French
<<Finish 2 pemsuler lessons
>>Finish 2 more lessons of Element's of French
It's getting slower but I'll stick to the minimum of it. I trying to be more realistic so I aim for
-Maximum 42 hrs per week
-Minimum 14 hrs per week
I hesitate a lot but I was thinking seriously to join the SC for English since I already have a lot of material and I believe I might be able to made it in 15 month only! Idk!!
I have to make my mind soooon.
