~~ Saturday 18 july~~

I studied for 42 minutes exactly

0 minutes duolingo i was too busy watching the England v France game COME ON ENGLUND

I have started Arabic lessons! My first lesson was 25 minutes but I wanted to get a solid base considering this is the only one of these languages that I have no real base on and I don't want to learn any bad habits

And then 12 minutes on italian vocab and 5 minutes on Greek vocab

~~ friday 17 july~~

I studied for 1 hour 7 minutes and 29 seconds

I almost forgot my duolingo today so the time is only 2 minutes, I only did Greek

I watched one episode of high potential in Italian, considering how little I've been studying anything the past 6 months I'm so surprised how much I can still understand

I also spend 12 minutes learning new italian vocab and 8 minutes 32 seconds learning some Greek vocab

I'm trying out the goldlist method if any one has given it a go before? I know anki is more efficient blah blah blah I just learn better when I write things down, I never keep up with anki for long

~~ thursday 25 july~~

I studied for 25 minutes and 13 seconds

Friends today was a rough day its a miracle I did anything at all

I spent 6 minutes on duolingo across all languages, I'm considering stopping learning Arabic on duolingo, I've heard a lot of people saying how inaccurate it is

I spent 8 minutes learning some Greek vocab and 8 minutes 35 seconds learning some italian vocab

And then like 2 minutes reading C'era una volta un cuore spezzato in italian before I gave up lmfao

~~ wednesday 15 july~~

I studied for 1 hour 13 minutes and 19 seconds

I spent about 7 minutes on duolingo across all languages

I studied some greek grammar today for 14 minutes 10 seconds

The remainder (51 ish minutes) I spent listening passively to Moana in Greek

[laste1le]

~~ tuesday 14 july~~

I studied for 1 hour and 10 seconds

Better! Still feeling super rough through but I'm happier with today

I spent 10 minutes 27 seconds on duolingo across all languages

I also continued learning the Arabic alphabet, i spend about 12 minutes on this

I spend most of my time (38 minutes 51 seconds) watching a small portion (literaly less than 2 minutes) of Moana! I paused and noted down every single word i didn't know, and for any verbs I found their stem since I'm no where near close to learning other tenses yet
