The Irish course I was doing ended up being super basic. Ended up turning to a course called Irish with Mollie instead. I've heard plenty her Irish isn't exactly "native" level. But I've let perfect be the enemy of good for too long, so I ended up getting the course, and I have to say, it is hands down the best Irish course I've used to date, perfection be damned. However, now phonetics and lenition and uru are much more natural now and easier to understand. I genuinely feel like if I was an expert in Irish, I could do my best in actually creating my own lesson based structure set for this and not just a tourist trap setup. There's plenty of examples Mollie gives for her charts and etc, but there's no actual wordlist or the like to learn from, so I guess I have to do the labour myself, which shouldn't be too bad once I put my mits into webscraping/automation with Python.
Next to that I ended up letting my Japanese build up over the last week or so, sitting on a vocab list of 300 words to review, so that'll take me a few days to get through. Spanish is doing okay, but I've become increasingly lazy when it comes to sources. I bought that Spanish book not too long ago, but it's grammar is very basic, so I don't know what to use for a more intermediate book, but I guess I haven't looked well enough.
Doing various other things like maths, programming, reading, and Blender.
