Language Study Diary: Day 1 (2022/6/10)

Hi! I'm starting a daily language diary on the off chance that the sense of accountability will keep me in check.

My goals with English and Japanese are basically to continue building vocabulary through vocab books and extensive reading. I’m also starting Thai from scratch, so I’ll be working through a textbook and using other supplementary resources. Today: お決まり表現単語帳→reviewed 10 words, studied 10 new words Ten Nights of Dreams→reread The First Night, read The Third Night Merriam-Webster Vocabulary Builder→p163/692

Language Study Diary: Day 7 (2022/6/16)

Read The Eighth Night. Kind of finished Day 1 of Read Thai in 10 Days? Still a few pronunciation issues I want to take care of but I think I'm ready to start Day 2 tomorrow. Can always go back if I have to. Feel like I proto-(???)rolled an R a couple of times today?

Language Study Diary: Day 6 (2022/6/15)

Read 7th Night. Still working through Day 1 of 'Read Thai in 10 Days' - taking it super slow. I think it will be another two days before I move onto Day 2. And I’m going to work on my rolled Rs in the bath.

Language Study Diary: Day 5 (2022/6/14)

Reread 6th Night before class. Downloaded the audio for 'Read Thai in 10 Days' and worked through the intro and part of chapter 1. I wish I could actually cover a chapter per day - as per the book’s title - but I’m too dumb and tired for that. Still working on rolling my Rs...

Language Study Diary: Day 4 (2022/6/13)

Reviewed some vocab in the MW vocab builder before heading to class. 'Read Thai in 10 Days' arrived today so I'm going to read through the intro and find out how to download the audio files before going to bed.

... Hopefully I'm not setting a bad precedent for the amount of language study I'm gonna do on weekdays lol
