I didn’t do much today as I was back at work after the Golden Week holidays. I just spent 45 minutes watching a drama on Lingopie. I was too tired to do any serious study.

I did some grammar study for the level 3 exam, and a lesson from the FSI course. I also watched an hour of TV with subtitles on Lingopie.

I didn’t really feel like studying today, so I did no exam work. I listened to Mastering French Vocabulary for 20 minutes and did a tape from the FSI course. I also signed up to Lingopie, a website which offers TV programmes in French with subtitles. I started watching a series and did about 45 minutes. It seems like a good addition to my studies – listening practice, real world language, and I can do it when I’m feeling too tired to study.

I listened to Mastering French Vocabulary for 30 minutes and did some grammar questions for the level 3 exam.

I listened to Mastering French Vocabulary for 30 minutes, and did some grammar exercises for my level 3 test. I also did a tape from the FSI course and about an hour of reading and listening on LingQ.

I listened to my Mastering Vocabulary book for 30 minutes and did verb questions for the level 3 test. I also did a tape from the FSI course. And, I reactivated my LingQ account! I used it for the first time since 2012! I’m going to use it for listening and reading. I did about an hour on it today.

I didn’t have much time today, so I just did a tape from the FSI course. It was mainly drills related to the second dialogue.

I did some vocabulary and grammar exercises for my level 3 test. I also listened to Barron’s vocabulary book for 30 minutes and did a tape from the FSI French course.

I did some level 3 vocabulary exercises, and 30 minutes of listening and reading using my Barron’s Mastering French Vocabulary book. It contains 13,000 words and has 10 hours of audio. I guess if I do 30 minutes every day, in 20 days I will have encountered 13,000 French words at least once. So, that’s what I’m going to do! I also copied out some future tenses of verbs from memory. I also finished unit 1 of the FSI course.

I studied the relative pronouns lequel, laquelle, auquel, duquel, etc. I got about half of the practice questions right. The problem I seem to have is not knowing when prepositions are required. I also copied out the future form of some verbs.
