Summer goals it is! (look at my little crab, I love him)

I haven't been very engaged with my studies lately, so it was hard to think of projects this time, but I like what I came up with.

I need to practice more in general, so we'll see if I can manage one of these. The being more active in my immersion basically means writing down new vocabulary and summarizing what I consumed, so I know I'm actually grasping concepts.

Only Lidia Poet is save from this, which might be why I'm most excited about that one haha.

French: finish watching Lupin read La Horde du contrevent start activating my vocabulary

German: watch the Bibi & Tina series go back to Khan Academie study one (1) article for work

Japanese: rewrite my grammar notes go back to おじさまと猫 try out soumatome watch Totoro

I've realised I actually don't know why I want to learn Russian in the first place, so I'm just going to follow the podcast Russian with Stories for a bit, so I don't lose what little I know. And maybe watch a series that's been on my list for a while

It looks like I have fewer goals than usual, but I expect most of them to be time-consuming, so we'll see how much I can accomplish

I just finished my last book of the year, so I’ve come to share

Great year for reading in this household! I’m delighted :3

Last year I had 7 books in French, and this time I got 10, and several were long! I’m very pleased, a couple of years ago I struggled so much just reading one

While I couldn’t even read one chapter of a specific German book, I did notice improvement, and I surpassed last year by several. Gotta keep going! (Oh! And there was also the audio Adventskalender! I’m ecstatic)

The Japanese ones were mostly manga, but they still count

And I did keep my promise of reading more in Spanish!

The big surprise of the year, tho, was the fact that I can still read in Italian! It was such a wonderful feeling

(Ignore the Romanian one, the app saw “Roman” and stuck it there even though the book was in French. I laughed so much XD

French: - I’d love to get to play all of Dordogne. - Finish reading the De sang, d'écume et de glace trilogy. I’m so behind! - I want to write a little something daily. Maybe I’ll share, maybe I won’t

German: - Focus on the Biology course of Khan Academy - Keep reading Tante Theas Tiger.

Japanese: - Go back to reading Ojisama to Neko. Maybe finish a whole volume. - Finish listening to Kagami no Kojou (hopefully the schedule will match haha) - Check the JSL course that was shared on the Minimmersion Discord

- listening exercises!

Russian: - Learn accusative and genitive - Learn how to use adjectives - Watch another two stories

There’s another thing I’d like to do with songs, but I haven’t been able to define exactly what I want to do. But it’s vocabulary related so it should be fun.
