Yesterday I walked all the way home, stopping at Rainbow for some more cranberries and my carrot soap.
After stopping at Rainbow I started Beginning French 1 and ended up finishing it and getting up to about track 3 of CD 2. I did pretty well, although there were some words I’d forgotten. I think it’s a great program. I was much faster at constructing the sentences than when I first started learning with this program. It’s been many months since I’ve even thought about French. Which just goes to show what a great program it is.
I’m reading this book about how the brain is plastic and in there it says it’s really good for the brain to learn a language, even when you’re an adult and people think it’s too late. Reading that inspired me to start up the French again. Plus I like how French sounds.
Later I watched a bit of a French movie (subtitled). I was able to pick up some words and phrases the actors were saying. So far it’s about an illiterate maid. I stopped it because I was really tired. It’s an “eh” kind of movie anyway.
I’m going to take it much slower this time. I’m not in a big hurry to get through all the CDs. I want to make sure I’m soaking up everything as I go. I want to be consistent with it.
Time to get back to work.
