I just practiced old words today.
Tomorrow I have a lot of free time, if I'm not gonna make it, than I'm doomed…

What I did:
- 15 words on memrise
- lesson 21 and 22 of Assimil book
Not bad, but still I didn't do the lesson from the other book.
I will repeat it again to myself as it seems I really have to learn it by heart. Learning at home is not an option, too much distraction!

What I did:
- learned 15 words on memrise
- watch 1 and a half lesson French in Action.
I found today an interesting course to learn French, which is called French in Action. I might continue learning from it as I find it quite enjoyable. I'm just not sure if it isn't too basic.

I love your goal and am watching you! This should be my goal, too… I can't speak to anyone close to me in French, but one of the times I go to Montréal for the weekend (from the northeastern US, where I live) I need to try this! (I lived in Montréal for two years for school but never learned French. A wasted opportunity.)

What I did:
- half of a French in action lesson
- 5 words on memrise
Thank you Liz for your kind words and accountability pressure:-)
If I will not dedicate myself more to this mission I'm not gonna achieve the goal. My French will be better though and I'm gonna build a habit of journaling everyday, which I wanted to create since a long time. But it's not over, I still have 2 months and I'm gonna fight!

What I did:
- 3rd lesson of French in Action
I was today at Pompidou and it was way easier to keep focused there than at home. I had to get out for some reason though, but I'm sure now that I'm gonna go there more often.

Today I didn't do anything and I'm feeling sleep deprived.

What I did:
- lessons 27 and 28 of Assimil
- lesson 16 Blondynka na językach
- practiced old words on Memrise
Being in Centre Pompidou really helps me to concentrate, despite people talking to each other and on the phone, hearing a ring tone every 5 minutes, announcements about pick pockets 'operating' there and mice running on the floor, biting each other… (-:

- Today I had another 10 min. conversation. This time with a French fellow doing the same job as me (I'm a rickshaw cyclist ). Last time we spoke briefly in English, because he was claiming that he doesn't speak it. This time he started talking to me in French and I didn't use a single English word, even though I was tempted. He was very patient, sometimes waiting few 5-7 seconds until I figure out some word that I know, to convey the meaning I wanted to communicate. He was kind enough to tell me that instead of saying "behind today" I should simply say "yesterday"

I enjoy it. It helps me to learn reading, listening and writing. The material I find quite engaging and with a good progression of difficulty, which would be harder to find jumping right away into reading about something that interests me from French sources. I can recommend it as a good source of language input and basic grammar. For learning to speak I use Blondynka na Językach, which you will not find in English, but I guess there are some English equivalents, and of course talking with natives.
What I did:
- practiced old words on memrise
Tomorrow I don't work so I have no excuses to not learning
