I did quite a lot today. I continued to study direct and indirect pronouns, and reviewed the future tense of verbs. I also did all the vocabulary exercises in a new level 3 exam textbook. I finished up with about 15 minutes of Duolingo.

I did some more study of direct and indirect pronouns, and did some listening exercises from my level 3 exam book. I also did about 30 minutes on Duolingo.

I did some listening exercises from my French level 3 textbook. It wasn’t so bad, I only made a few mistakes. I also did some dictation. I can catch the words, but I always forget the accents, or use the wrong one… I need to be more careful when learning words. I also did about 40 minutes on Duolingo.

I got back on Duolingo today. It was the first time I’d logged in this year. I think with Duolingo it’s important to make it a habit. The longest streak I’ve had is 80 days. I have a tendency to make it a daily habit, then when I have a few busy days, I don’t get round to it, and I lose the momentum. I’m going to try and keep it up this time.

I studied pronoun order today. I could do the exercises without any problems, but they were quite simple and just in the present tense. I’ll need to go over it again before I move on to different tenses!

I studies the pronoun “en” today. I’m still unsure of where to put it in certain sentence structures, but at least I know what it is. I also did a few pages of word dictation from my level 3 test book. I didn’t do so badly. It was the accents that tripped me up! It seems I’ve “half-learned” some words. Like with my Chinese, I need to go back and learn the words properly.

I studied the “y” pronoun today. It has always been a kind of mystery to me, but that has been cleared up now. I’m still unsure of word order in past and negative sentences though. More practice needed! I only had 30 minutes so I just did exercises from my textbook. More tomorrow!

I’m back into regular language study, and it feels great! I worked out how to fit it in – just get up an hour earlier. I did some listening, which I failed miserably (it was numbers…), some shadowing, and a few exercises on indirect pronouns.
