I think I must have had run-ins now with the majority of the well respected community members here on this awesome forum, and possibly lost the respect of many of those too (I doubt I had any to begin with). Pity I couldn't stick to the topic of languages and language learning... Or is it? I guess I am me, and I will be me, but why do I feel such a need to rant on, while my arguments look weak (because I can't be bothered searching for decent evidence to back me up?). I am learning to hold back, but then I rope myself in little by little. I just need to shut the hell up. Still, as I said recently to someone I had a 'run-in' with, even if my arguments seem chaotic, backed by little evidence, soaked in conspiracy, that doesn't make them incorrect. 99% of humanity could hold a point of view on a given topic, while I remain in the 1 percent. Doesn't make me wrong. But who cares, why do I have to be right? Pffft... stupid egocentric human being, why do I, why do humans feel the necessity to prove themselves right, that's yet another part of the trap Pete Mollenburg of Froxley upon Morgensburg... Stop involving yourself in such discussions, you know you're going to get no support and just look stupid... so moving on...
I've been taking advantages of idle moments and filling them with language learning, more so than I feel I was doing nearing the end of 2017. That's good, isn't it? Well it is if that's what you want to do, and fortunately that is what I want to do, so yes that's good
I've been watching a lot of TV, and I'm noticing gains there, although not with everything. I've been watching more without subtitles and I can definitely see the benefit of not relying on subtitles. However some shows I am watching do have English ST's and can't be turned off, but it's not all, and I've made up some ground, so that's fine.
We should not have gone to New Caledonia. Recently, my wife and I felt that we didn't regret it, but we weren't in the best financial position. Now we have taken the stance that it was stupid, almost reckless. We have been chasing our financial tails since and have very nearly simply run out of money. Another smart move by PM huh?
So I decided I want to do away with Assimil, but not before finishing the never ending 2nd wave and reviewing everything to death. So within one month I'll be done with it. Then I have more room for other things. Exciting post this one....
