Language Learning

It's all going fine. Added a lot of new nouns and verbs to my Anki deck, but since my New Cards limit is at 20, I would preview many that wouldn't come out in a while after finishing. My Anki workload is small, like I would finish it in less than 5 minutes.

Of course I would write, but since that requires setting up a pen and paper I mostly try to think random sentences in Latin. Hopefully my thoughts are mostly grammatically correct...

I've been putting off the subjunctive for a while, might deal with that after college finals? Though I read discussions and watched videos on it to familiarise myself with the concept before fully engaging with it.

I'm on vacation in Japan right now. I've had lots of opportunities to practice so that's good. I'm gradually getting a bit more comfortable but still feels like I'm speaking baby Japanese. That being said I understand a lot more than last time I came here, so at the very least input is going well b

Norwegian is going OK. I am using roughly 5 different resources since some are better at certain things than other and more exercises are good.

I can understand about 1/2 to 2/3 of the Kongen Befaler clips I see on youtube depending on who's speaking and context. Zero speaking practice because I live in rural Japan, which ultimately kinda sucks. I have a friend in Norway, but I'm not going to bug her for that. There are occasional online events, so I'm hoping to attend one next month, but it will be at 2am Japan time on a Friday morning so a work day :/

Going ok, just started a new textbook. I'm motivated, but... Despite being the next book in the series, technically, it's quite different and a big jump in difficulty.

Unrelated, I'm really unhappy with the tools I've found for studying/repeating/exercising grammar. I have a very clear idea what would actually be helpful (for me, personally), but I'm a bit afraid of opening another giant time-sinkhole by trying to implement something for this.

It hasn't been going 🥀

I've been walking around with my headphones more often these days, an easy way to get a bit more listening practice for the songs I have.

Missed about 3 days Spanish and 1 day Japanese. Only doing bare minimum 30 mins. Haven't touched maths. Sort of off the horse again. but I'll get back on soon I think.
