Language Learning Review for January

Indonesian

Complete Indonesian – Finished! My goal was to be at the end of Unit 15. Turns out I’m at the end of Unit 17, aka the end of the whole book. Woop!

Memrise – Of course, I’m posting this a few days before the end of the month but the good news is that I so far have kept my streak all month. Yay!

italki – My goal was to have a whole 10 lesson package in January. Things started well and I had all my lessons booked ready to go, but unfortunately my tutor had to cancel the package due to other commitments. I’ve since found another tutor and have had 2 lessons so far with her.

Instagram Language Challenge – I was doing really well with this (and enjoying it!) until I got ill mid-week this week. Garr!

Language Reading Challenge

The Etymologicon – I joined a week or so late so this wasn’t on my original Clear The List goal list for January. However, I’ve really enjoyed reading this book for January’s Language Reading Challenge from Shannon at Eurolinguiste. The book was a fascinating walk through curiosities of the English language. I loved how short the chapters were and how well connected they were to each other. It’s a book you could read a bit of in 5 minutes, or read a lot of in one hour.

Language Learning Goals for February

I’ll be working in France pretty much all of February. Of course, this changes things slightly for language goals next month.

Indonesian

Complete Indonesian – I haven’t decided yet if I’ll be taking the book to France with me or not. Either way, I want to focus on consolidating the vocabulary learnt throughout the course. Which leads me to…

Memrise – Having done such a good job keeping my streak throughout January, I’m going to keep that up throughout February, getting me closer to completing this course. However, I’ll also be creating my own course from the vocabulary learnt throughout Complete Indonesian that hasn’t stuck yet.

Facebook – One thing I was really proud of last month was understanding a whole meme image in my Facebook feed. I shared in the Social Media for Language Learning series in January how to update your Facebook feed for languages. Since doing that myself, I’ve been gradually understanding more and more of the videos, text, comics, and memes that are now filling my Facebook newsfeed. Understanding a whole one was such a great feeling that I’m actively going to use one Facebook post per day as a language learning tool.

To go deeper, I’ll be making notes on new vocabulary, watching and re-watching, and perhaps even commenting when I have something to say.

Language Reading Challenge

Being in France it seems kinda crazy to ignore French, right?

Reading Les Misérables – I really enjoyed joining Eurolinguiste’s Language Reading Challenge in January. I have a bookshelf of language books to read before we sell up and leave later in the year and it’s been a nice little boost to help me get started on that. February’s book is “Book in your target language (translation of a book from your native language)”.

However, I won’t get the chance to read the copy of Les Misérables that I have in September when the monthly book is “Book in your target language (originally written in your target language)” so I’m going to switch that one around and do it this month instead.

Language Update Video

This month, I finally figured out what my rough plans are for 2017 when it comes to language learning! And I share everything in the video below…
