June Update
Posted: Wed Jul 03, 2019 6:33 am
June has passed. It was not very strong language-wise, but was not weak either.
Latin (30 h)
Latin was the King of the month. I continued to read "Puer Romanus" and Augustine's "Confessions". There was an important amendment in my learning process: Anki is back in the game. It seems, my Latin vocabulary is quite weak, so I've downloaded a 3000-word deck and set it up for 25 words a day.
Japanese (10 ½ h)
Continuing with Danganronpa 2. I also have an "official" announcement to make. Provided there will no be unforeseen obstacles, I will go for JLPT this December. As for level, N3 looks like to worth a shot. I will try to finish "A Dictionary of Basic Japanese" before the exam as well.
Hebrew (8 h)
Started Isaiah. A very slow-going. It is mostly poetic, and Isaiah seems to have a very rich and unusual vocabulary. I have to check almost every line against the English translation.
German (9 ½ h)
German is quite an interesting language. I use Sandberg's "German for Reading" and a 4000-word Anki deck to bootstrap my German vocabulary.
Italian (5 ¼ h)
Another tactical change. I was finally fed up with phonological shifts in Hebrew language (people! just stop that! just make your mind and use whatever pronunciation you want however complex, just do not change it!) and dropped "Storia della lingua ebraica". It gave me 90 pages . I will start Max Pohlenz's "La Stoa. Storia di un movimento spirituale". It is a two-volume 1500-pages book about stoics. Hopefully, they were not that much into phonic things.
