The first session of my workplace sponsored French class (A0/A1 lol) ended this week. Since I’m working at a university the next session won’t start until February when the new semester begins… until then it’s just self study

I’ve been making steady progress on the Anki decks. Finished the first 500 words of the frequentist wordlist (This one, not sponsored), so I’ve moved on to part 2 with the other 4500 words now. Also started working on the irregular verbs training and sentence training, wishing myself good luck. The vocab training’s effects have been showing… I can somewhat understand a lot of local news articles even before putting them in Google Translate now (if anyone has any recommendations for good LLM translators/“practice buddies” I’m open to them too, willing to pay)

Having some motivation issues with the main grammar courses since work is tough and I still want to have time for hobbies… (edit: also the courses are getting insanely difficult wtf) hopefully the Christmas break gives me some time to work more aggressively on those

I’m hoping that I could reach A2 by next year’s August… I think B1 is needed for a lot of workplace benefits/immigration/etc, so that is the mid/long term goal before I start to work on Dutch/Nederlands
