DAY 3: 1302 - French - Sing a Disney song for 3 times.

I fell in love with this song! I felt happy because I could understand some of it and I think I learned a really useful vocabulary with this one. Merci beacoup, Rapoince.

DAY 3: 1302 - English - Sing a Disney song for 3 times.

I realized that I never stopped to listen to the English version of this Ariel song. Well, I barely remembered the Portuguese version. It was good to practice my listening but I got quite bored with the first one so I decided to sing to more Disney songs as well.

Yesterday was a difficult day for me. I went to the veterinary with my kitten, Pérola, and we find out that she has a tumor and, apparently, it’s something really serious. I had no energy to play Duolingo or anything, I just cried, wrote on my journal about it and went to sleep. I’m trying to cope with that and remember how much joy Pérola bring to us, specially after my old dog, Valente, passed away. So, today, she spent most of the time sleeping on my lap, learning new words with me and watching this nice youtube video.

DAY 7: 1902 - French - Read 1 page from a book, any book.

I was quite insecure about reading a book in French but now I’m feeling happy, it was good experience. I read one chapter (Un souvenir qu’on va chérir) from the  children’s book “Le Petit Nicolas” by René Goscinny. I could catch up what was going on during the reading and that made ma super happy, I thought I would be like “???je nes pas comprends???” during the whole thing.

DAY 7: 1902 - English - Read 1 page from a book, any book.

My weekend was reaally busy and I struggled to keep up with my tasks. Sad? Sad, but here we go again. I used this Google Chrome Extension Learn Languages with Netflix and it helped me a lot.

DAY 6: 1802 - French - Watch a movie/episode from a serie subbed or dubbed in your target language.

I watched “The Hookup Plan” or “Plan Couer” and, well, I learned a few bad words in french. I’m proud. The show has a simple premisse and it’s quite funny. I used the Chrome extension  and like they recommend, I tried to pick up the original audio and only read the subtitles later. It was very fun after all and I’m trying to convince myself that I’m only watching this to learn French, yea.
