Language Learning Review for October

italki

My Bulgarian tied in nicely with the italki Language Challenge in October. I set myself a goal of 20 hours, which I reached! Woohoo!

I had mostly daily lessons Monday to Friday, sometimes twice or three times a day (30 minutes a lot of the time!).

Teach Yourself Bulgarian

My goal with this book was a chapter a day. I did this and finished the book. Woop!

I have to admit though, I did get more lenient towards the end of the book. After all, I don’t necessarily need all the detailed, advanced stuff they were teaching in later chapters just yet.

Memrise

I did alright with Memrise and it definitely proved a useful addition!

Something I’ve done recently is put Memrise in the front screen of the app box on my phone with Instagram and WhatsApp. So I’m tempted to see Memrise as “attractive” as Instagram. Haha! It does seem to be working and I’ve done more than I think I would have if it were just on the main page.

Peace Corps, FSI, DLI Audio

My goal with this audio was to listen as much as possible. I did this for a few weeks but then began to need some more stimulating audio whilst working after a while if I’m honest!

Plus, I didn’t want to make Bulgarian a chore or a bore so I let myself listen to podcasts or music when I wanted to.

I didn’t use this resource as much as expected, which is fine as I was generally busy with others like the main Teach Yourself book.

Video Update

Listen to me speak a little Bulgarian here!
