Reflexions (Setmana 8 del Repte Idiomes Estiu 2021)
SĂ, he fet el cĂ lcul i tinc la setmana correcte...benvinguts i benvingudes a la vuitena setmana del repte! La cosa va bastant bĂŠ, heus aquĂ els nĂşmeros:
basc* (1129/1903 mots = 59%)
gal¡lès* (477/1632 mots = 29%)
romani (355/715 mots = 50%)
amhĂ ric* (687/1646 mots = 42%)
Tot i el progrĂŠs que he fet, no crec que arribi al final dels cursos abans que acabi el repte. Dit això, mai he passat la fita de mil paraules en un curs de Memrise, aixĂ que ja ha valgut la pena. I penso seguir, si puc, durant lâany. Però primer, cal enfocar-me en les quatre setmanes que em queda, perquè amb això ja hi puc fer bastantes coses.
TambĂŠ estava pensant, i crec que estic en el moment ideal per fer un âlevel upâ amb el gal¡lès i el basc. Ăs a dir que gairebĂŠ els sĂŠ parlar â no dominar, però simplement que em comencen a sortir frases i paraules sense haver-les planejat abans. Per això, vull tenir mĂŠs hores dâestudi amb aquests dos, perquè si començo a entendre sèries/cançons/converses/et cètera, ja tindrĂŠ mĂŠs hores de prĂ ctica i que no em faci mandra. Perquè amb el catalĂ ja tinc mĂŠs de 100 hores aquest any (i amb la resta dels idiomes, menys de 20), nomĂŠs perquè miro sèries i vaig a hores de conversa i tal. Per tant, aquest ĂŠs el meu repte per finals dâany.
Yes, I did the calculations and I have the right week...welcome to the eighth week of the challenge! Itâs going pretty well, here are the numbers:
Basque* (1129/1903 mots = 59%)
Welsh* (477/1632 mots = 29%)
Romani (355/715 mots = 50%)
Amharic* (687/1646 mots = 42%)
Despite the progress Iâve made, I donât think Iâll make it to the end of the courses before the challenge ends. That being said, Iâve never passed the milestone of a thousand words in the Memrise course before, so itâs already been worth it. And I think Iâm going to continue, if I can, during the year. But first, I need to focus on the four weeks that I have left, because I can still do a lot with that.
I was also thinking, and I think Iâm in the ideal moment to âlevel upâ my Welsh and Basque. What I mean is that I almost know how to speak them â not master them, but just that words and phrases are starting to come to me without having planned them beforehand. Because of that, I want to have more hours of study with these two, because if I start understanding series/songs/conversations/et cetera, Iâll have more hours of practice and that wonât bore me. Because with Catalan, I already have more than 100 hours this year (and with the rest of my languages, less than 20), just because I watch shows and go to conversation hours and stuff. Therefore, this is my challenge for the end of the year.
Crec que havĂem passat el punt del mig alguna setmana per aquĂ, no nâestic segur perquè fa tant de temps que no faig un post sobre el repte que ni sĂŠ en quina setmana estem (crec que la sisena però no us ho sabria dir segur). Però vaig estudiar molt durant el viatge, probablement perquè no tenia Tumblr per ocupar-me, i vaig avançar bastant. AquĂ els percentatges i els nĂşmeros:
basc* (982/1903 mots = 52%)
gal¡lès* (327/1632 mots = 20%)
romani (239/715 mots = 33%)
amhĂ ric* (578/1646 mots = 35%)
rus* (455/4995 mots = 9%)
He deixat de banda el rus perquè el curs tĂŠ Ă udio, cosa que mâĂŠs molt Ăştil, com que no llegeixo bĂŠ el cirĂl¡lic, però que em fa molta mandra :P La resta em van bĂŠ, he après gairebĂŠ (o potser mĂŠs de) 200 paraules cadascuna. I no hi ha cap curs amb un percentatge de menys de dues xifres! AixĂ que estic bastant content amb el progrĂŠs que faig.
He canviat una mica alguns objectius per a finals dâany però ja us ho explicarĂŠ mĂŠs endavant.
English below cut :)
I think that weâve passed the middle point some week in here, Iâm not sure because itâs been so long since Iâve made a post about the challenge that I donât even know what week weâre on (I think the sixth but Iâm not 100% sure). But I studied a lot on my trip, probably because I didnât have Tumblr to keep me busy, and I advanced a fair amount. Here are the percentages and the numbers:
Basque* (982/1903 words = 52%)
Welsh* (327/1632 words = 20%)
Romani (239/715 words = 33%)
Amharic* (578/1646 words = 35%)
Russian* (455/4995 words = 9%)
Iâve set aside Russian because the course has audio, which is very useful for me, since I donât read Cyrillic very well, but also annoys me :P The rest are going pretty well, Iâve learned almost (or maybe more that) 200 words for each. And thereâs no course with a percentage under 2 digits! So Iâm pretty happy with my progress.
Iâve changed some of my goals for the end of the year but Iâll explain that to you guys later.

Todayâs Challenge:Â Think of an everyday interaction you might have (for example, going to the bank) in which you do not yet have the vocabulary you would need. Look up the vocabulary you would use in such a situation (cultural differences are also worth noting!)
Since Iâm catching a plane tomorrow, I thought it might be good to learn some airport vocabulary in Welsh, not that I would probably ever get the chance to use it but who knows? Some of these also probably apply to trains/buses/etc so will still be useful in a variety of situations. The things marked with a single question mark are probably okay just unconfirmed, anything with more than one question mark should be used with caution.
