I’m partway through another Matsumoto Seicho novel. I took the cosmetics exam last month, and I’m having a break before I start studying for the pharmacology exams.

10th December 2021 – French
I am working through a verb tense textbook. I need to increase my vocabulary and knowledge of verb tenses if I’m going to pass the Pre-2nd grade exam next year. Must get back to listening as well though.
10th December 2021 – Chinese
I’ve settled into my new place, so I’ve started studying again. I am working through the HSK4 vocabulary. It is a slow process – I’m copying out the example sentences to practice writing, but it’s necessary. I tried to go back to my grammar book, but lack of vocab made that difficult. So, vocab and listening for a while!
I passed HSK3!!
I got my results the other day. I got 95% for listening, 100% for reading, and 100% for writing! I’m so pleased! Next is HSK4. I need to move into my new place and settle down before I start studying though.
