I haven't had any time to learn this week, but I did try to watch news in my target language. Understood 20% for sure and the rest, well not so sure about the rest.

Also: sorry for not replying to your messages lately in weekly threads. I read them all, but get caught up with holiday stuff before I can properly write an answer.

Crapped out for the holidays. Only scratching the very surface of apps to maintain streaks. After Xmas though I've gone crazy wild trying to dive back in. Ending up picking up 22 words a day in Japanese, and about 10 in Irish. Spanish still needs to be picked up proper, but out of all the languages I'm doing now, Spanish is by far the most demotivating.

Really wanting to push more Irish as I get into the new year. I find it depressing I'm Irish, lived here my whole life even, and don't understand the language. Next to that, the language is actually dying off despite what our government says. So I'd like to strengthen the lifeline of the language by contributing to it.
