How time vanishes. Life ruthlessly eliminates my attempts at etching in a reliable schedule, and forum posting tracks to the bottom of an otherwise calm language learning sea.
Study progresses, slowly, with Portuguese and German now both clamoring for my attention. German is me engaging in fruitful self-deception, reanimating the decayed-but-still-extant remnants of my high-school language classes for the satisfaction of accelerated progress (read: relearning). That's not to say it doesn't charm me with an incredibly sexy allure or promises of high-speed central European adventures.
As for French, sitting the C1 exam is probably within my grasp. If it isn't, time, native material, and an unhealthily dependent relationship with SRS will guarantee that it is. An ever widening net of increasingly obscure words is making me increasingly happy, the farther I get from learning daily/mundane vocabulary the more excited I am by actually opening Anki. Anyway, my forum flair will remain B2.5 for now, since in my experience self-estimates tend to overshoot.
By virtue of posting this [ahem, again] to such a great community, I hope to motivate myself to study more; learn more; get frustrated, quit a language, then come back to it with love in my eyes more; and generally work towards a more coherent language learning approach. Yeah, I likely said something to such effect in the first post, but this time it's *different*, alright?
More to be soon be written..!
