Back to Studying

  • After my hiatus from Babbel, there were over 900 French words and phrases in my to-be-reviewed box. Yeesh, that was daunting! It’s down to about 600 now.
  • It’s easy to do Babbel’s little lessons and feel like I’ve accomplished something, but I know that it’s not enough. I know that without more reinforcement I won’t remember what I’ve learned. And I know that I’ll never learn to speak the language unless I start actively using it more. So I’ve been practicing. You may now occasionally hear me talking to myself in French. Do I sound more or less crazy talking to myself in French than I do when I talk to myself in English? I don’t know. You tell me. For bonus points, say it in French. 😉
  • Occasionally little bits of French come out during conversations with family members. Livia says it’s infuriating because she doesn’t know what I’m saying. Désolée!
  • I’ve been watching Call My Agent! on Netflix. I leave the English subtitles on, but I try to pay attention to the spoken French.
