Long time no talk...
My life is a little jumbly right now. I live in Washington DC. Well really close to it at least and right on the metro.
I'm not really sure how to do a life update, or if there is really any need. I miss you all but I haven't had a lot to say.
Spanish hasn't got a lot of attention. I found someone who is teaching me Portuguese, which wasn't in the plan but.. well.. a lot of things uh my life weren't in the plan.
I've been chatting in French like 7 hours a day with a variety of people, mostly met through Tandem. (Let's just give up calling this a language learning app and admit that it's Tinder International) My writing is really improving. I've mastered certain subjects that non-natives rarely learn, and several times I've been asked if I was really American and not une française. But thats only writing and my speaking lags behind. And although I don't want to build bad habits, I've dabbled in intentionally making errors that French people make like Sa/Ça s'est/c'est
I've even gotten adept at reading horrible writing like "Tu n'as cas venir" (Tu n'as qu'à venir). I know it's not really fair, but I mostly abandon conversations where people want to speak a lot of English in favor of people who pretty much only want to speak French. I'm ok with a 50/50 split if the conversations are really fun but I get way way way too many invitations to chat every day so I have to be choosy one way or another.. I've had up to 100 new messages in a week, but I usually get about 25-40/week.One of my goals is to really start speaking more. I'm going to start trying video snaps. I have a couple people who want that (only in French) so I just need to do it. I think my French would be really pretty decent by the end of the year if I converted 25% of my chatting time to oral...
So that's where I am.. kinda. After a few month absence, I feel like I should make some sort of bold statements but um... Don't really feel like it.
Hope you're all doing well. Pop in and tell me because I'll never catch up on logs...
The first comment was: Votre français est terrible. Adieu 
Il est possible que ça ne se passe pas bien pour moi non plus. 
I'm kind of excited. Now I just need to figure out what the heck I can talk about for 15 minutes... That's like a million years. I don't have that kind of attention span.
