March Update
Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2019 6:44 am
Language learning in March was very low-intensive. There is number of reasons for that: XCOM 1/2 being the primary one (I would like to say there were some more serious reasons... but, well, I could lie to myself, but my time-management app will not).
Latin (7 h)
Continuing with Erasmus' Colloquia.
Hebrew (7 ½ h)
Continuing with Samuel II.
Japanese (1 ½ h)
Japanese surely is not in favour last months. I started to read A Basic Dictionary of Japanese Grammar, but it seems to me there is no escape from Monokuma and Danganronpa 2, though I will be able to start it only in June.
Italian
Only Italian got lucky past month as I played XCOM in this language !
Some plans and ideas
I have two ideas for summer projects. The first one is to make an Italian dash, that is to finish «L'italiano secondo il metodo natura». My Italian is perfect, well... perfect for the job: to read Athenaze, but I still would like to finish the textbook properly.
The second one is to make a similar feat for German. Another very good textbook for Ancient Greek «Griechischer Lehrgang» is written in German, and it would be great to use it as well. Let's suppose, I need 150-200 hours to learn enough German to be able to read slowly this textbook (I base this number on what is written in "German for reading"), it means 50 - 65 hours a month during summer. Somewhat intense but feasible. Worth to try.
