I got the official guide to the French exam for levels 5, 4 and 3. I am planning on taking level 3 this year, but looking at the practice tests that are in the book, I realise that I’m still level 5…. Got a long way to go! My test in June has been cancelled, so I have more time to study. I think the next one is in November.

I got two new Chinese books. I am studying for level 3 on the HSK test, but there is a high chance that it will be cancelled in June. So, I’m thinking about skipping level 3 and going for level 4. I bought three level 4 books – one is the official guide, one has practice tests in, and one is a workbook. I’ve studied the level 3 material multiple times now. Perhaps I will improve if I just keep pushing on and aiming higher.
