Twitter seems to have a spam filter that will acivate if you send too many similarly worded tweets. I also got in trouble with that a few days ago, and I usually do after a couple of weeks of 6WC. What you have to do is to change the wording of your tweets.

Thanks. Should I undo the ones that did not register? Or just resend them with variety in the wording?

No need to undo them, but I usually delete them, for my own reference - then I know that if I see a tweet without a response in my twitter feed, I have to check it out.

Week 3: Nov 15-21, Modern Greek

Total time: 500 minutes, 8.333333333 hours.

Phew! I reached my goal to get 500 minutes, but just barely. I had a couple of really bad days, so I had to make up for it by studying for over 100 minutes on some days. I just got Assimil Le Grec so I can increase my study time even more, but I'm not going to have a goal for this week. Thanksgiving is going to keep me busy for several days.

At the halfway point (a few days later, but who's counting) I've already put in more hours than I did last 6WC, and in a couple of days I'll beat my high score. I'm already feeling satisfied with the progress I've made.

I need to do those iTalki posts I promised myself, and keep going through my textbook and Glossika for consolidation. If I spend the next few weeks slowly acquiring more vocabulary while repeatedly drilling common sentence structures and practicing listening, I should enter 2019 with a reinforced Polish foundation that won't fade anytime soon.

How's everyone else doing?

With the 18 days left, if I intend to finish this Setswana Memrise course, I'm going to have to up my game and finish 1.5 chapters a day. Better get on it.

ON IT!

The way my life is right now, I think I should just focus on reviewing vocab and doing grammar through Lingodeer. Wasn't home this weekend, won't be home for 3 days this week and the other days will be spend at uni or the library :oops:

Will see if I can fit in some reading next week. But tbh, I think this reflects my general study pattern for Korean. I can suddenly have lot of time to spend on it and then it tapers off.

Week 4: Nov 22-28, Modern Greek

Total time: 383 minutes, 6.3 hours

I'm happy with my numbers considering the holiday and a weird depressive crisis right after. :P Having Assimil Le Grec has made it easier to get very intensive study time. No more flashcards for me at the moment. I might add them in later but for now I'm just using Assimil Le Grec and Language Transfer, and with both of those courses I usually study for more than an hour per day.
