I'm mentally preparing to complain to a pigeon feeder in my target language. Wish me luck.

(the pigeons are filling up my window sill with shit and have learned to wait for the feeder early in the morning, waking me up way before my actual alarm)

Had a solid week. The no-lookup reading is starting to feel almost cozy, and it's giving me a ton of confidence. I feel like if I can just get on the other side of these intermediate grammar structures and boost my overall comprehension rate just a tick, I'm going to unlock so much content I want to read and listen to. Already the textbook is feeling so much easier than it did a couple months ago.

I can see vocab and speed being more the focus soon, and I can definitely handle that. Here's hoping!

I also tried no-lookup reading recently and it was great for seeing progress! Probably didn't understand everything I thought I understand but that's secondary for now.
