Language Learning Log 2021Week 49 (06.12 - 12.12)Read 2x articlesRead 1x chapter of Meg meg meg2x italki lessons (1h 45m)Finished writing essay about oilWrote 3x journal entriesStudied vocabStarted making various Anki decksDuolingo???Probably did more, but I forgot to keep track.Applications open for the Bergenstest soon (the 16th!) and with that looming I realised I haven’t been putting in nearly as much effort as I was hoping for. I need to start making time for study if I have a hope of passing, never mind getting C1 in any of the sections!I reviewed my goals and plans and started putting together a new plan. I think I’ve not been studying vocab as much as I’d like because my current spreadsheet format isn’t very inspiring or interactive. Also, it requires me to sit at my computer, which normally leads to me doing a million other things instead. So, I started creating Anki decks that I can spend a few minutes reviewing while I’m waiting for something to cook, or while I’m waiting for my students at the studio, or when I have spare time between English classes etc. At the moment I do Duo, but that’s reeeeally not gonna get my to Bergenstest level.I also finished that stupid essay about oil. It was really tough, not so much because I don’t know the specific vocabulary but because I don’t know how to use it properly in a coherent sentence. Maybe I’ll just have to hope I don’t have to write anything about it in the real exam lol.This week I turn 30 (!!!) so I’m taking a few days off. Hopefully I can use them to create a proper plan for Bergenstest prep! I’ve already made a rough plan, but it needs some polishing.One important progress thing I wanted to mention was I spent a few minutes talking to my tutor about costumes and wearing wigs, and eventually he was like “do you mean *this word*? Because the one you’re using means floor.” And maybe a year ago I’d have been mortified and felt stupid and not wanted to talk again, but I just laughed and figured at least I won’t forget now. I call that character development ☺️ -- source link
