WOW. Okay,
so I knew that I was super busy on Saturday and while I managed to get my acceptable
minimum requirement of study in, I did not realize that apparently Sunday and yesterday
were the same. This just goes to show that sometimes life gets in the way and
you need to accept that, but not in a way that makes it so that you accept failure,
but that you regroup and come back strong.
For me, I
know that the meeting I had on Friday with Rock Manor Games was definitely the
reason that Sunday and Monday were heavily focused on Maximum Apocalypse RPG
and not Spanish. I was trying to get somethings done so that we can be ready
for bringing the game to reviewers. Admittedly, I only gained 700XP on Duolingo
during those 3 days (Sat – Mon), which is sad because last Sunday, I got 600XP AND
read 1.5 chapters of Spanish Demystified.
Because of
this, I have to report that I have made very little progress. I can say that a
did a review of everything I have learned so far yesterday, so I wouldn’t count
Monday as a total loss of progression. Reviews are necessary to solidify things
that you may have forgotten. For example, I forgot a number of verbs that I
haven’t been using. This gets me to today’s focus point, BEST THINGS TO STUDY.
In my
opinion, the best things to study are things that you would normally say every
day already. Do you talk about cars on the regular? Learn car words and
phrases. Do you eat a lot of different foods? Maybe learn the names of foods
and then hit up a restaurant. Better, learn what different types of foods come
from the culture of your language, go to a restaurant, and try them. The trick
is, if you don’t often talk to people about their passports or how to find the
corner market, then don’t start there. You can learn that stuff later when it
becomes more necessary. Stick to your strengths in the beginning and you will
remember those words.
Anyway,
Today is going to be the day I get back on track, read a few chapters of
Spanish Demystified, and reestablish my dominance on the Duolingo boards.
Buenas Dias, my amigx.
