Language Learning Review for september

Indonesian only (ish!)

I’m so happy with my Indonesian so far.

Things petered out towards the end of the month (I’ll explain why a little further down this post!) but I knew this would happen so it’s all good.

A couple of weeks into learning Indonesian, I had a surprise too! My friend Fiel, who I met at the Polyglot Gathering in Berlin came to the UK and popped up to Milton Keynes for the day to make an (upcoming!) video together. Seeing as the camera was out, I roped him in to speak with me completely in Indonesian in I guess what I’ve just realised was my first Indonesian conversation.

See how I did in the video!

Russian

This kind of happened. I stuck with my plan to become more familiar with the alphabet using the #IGLC. Buuuut, I decided to stop Russian on Duolingo to focus on Indonesian after about 3 weeks.

Focus is good.

Korean

This kind of happened too. The same thing that happened with Russian happened with Korean. You’ll see why I had to drop these for now below…

Language Learning Goals for october

pretty much nada

Badjawhaaaa?!?!

I know, right! This is very strange for me not to set myself a language learning goal for a month. But I have good reason…

I’m getting married this month!

Yup. At the end of October, me and Ashley are getting married and so, unsurprisingly, this month is going to be a little busy.

Although most things are all set, I don’t want to stress myself out or overwhelm myself by adding a language goal in the mix.

That said, I will be revising everything I’ve learnt so far in Indonesian before getting back into the swing of things in November.

As well as that, we’re going on a “minimoon”(!) to Amsterdam. So there’ll be some travel Dutch thrown in somewhere along the way, but nothing too serious.
