Well I'm not sure what happened to my week 7 post, I'm 100% sure I posted it, but it seems to have
been deleted, nevertheless I reposted the stats only. Today I started recording my statistics in Excel,
mainly because I don't have a whole lot of trust in the stability of this website.
I'm happy with the effort I put in this week. This week I finished lesson 7 in FiA, finally! It only took me
two months.. Assimil is also going well, I'm enjoying the active phase, it is uncharted territory for me,
and i've been making a few mistakes such as accents the wrong way and using the wrong gender for
some nouns.
On memrise I haven't been planting anything to be honest, most of my time is spent watering and
adding interesting words that I've come across in FiA and Assimil to my deck.

Well I was reasonably busy with various university assignments this week, so I adjusted my French
study accordingly. However I kept up with my daily assimil and had a few conversations with my
girlfriend in French which were great. I watched the lesson 8 FiA video and that's about it for this
week.

Just posting a quick update for my week. Progress is going well, everyday I try to speak at least 15-
20 minutes with my girlfriend in French, she's more than happy to help me out. The only problem I'm
having so far is that German words tend to pop out when I want to speak French every now and
again, I seem to have a bit of German - French mixing going on, hopefully it just sorts itself out.
Today, I took part in a running event which was 14km. Not a huge distance, but I haven't really run
since I left the army 4 or so years ago.. Therefore I was completely knackered today and only studied
the assimil révision leçon for 10 minutes.
I'm hoping to put more time in next week!

Nice to see you're making steady progress, Meyers. Mixing is a common experience, but I think you just need practice to sort it out. I recently was asked a question in French by a French teacher at my school, and I replied entirely in Hindi (I had just been listening to a half hour of Hindi in my car). Boy was I embarrassed!

Well, it has been a busy week for me, this past week and next week are filled with various tests at
uni, which is cutting my study time down a bit, however after next week we have 3 weeks of holidays
which I'm really looking forward too. I haven't managed to do FiA everyday simply because I don't
have time and it takes me roughly 50 minutes to get through my daily assimil lesson.
I Really need to improve on my study time on Sundays, over the past 3 Sundays I have only
accumulated 30 minutes of study time in total. What's my excuse for today? Not a huge one, just
work and the cricket world cup final, which we unfortunately lost.
Another thing I would like to do is to have some more conversations in French, currently I'm not
speaking too much French with my girlfriend, mainly because our relationship and been in English,
and it's just a bit weird to be speaking another language. So far we have only been having 10-20
minutes conversations every few days or so, but I would like to increase a bit more gradually,
otherwise I could always find a language exchange partner.

This week, I was extremely busy.. I had 2 exams at university which required me to study a lot, so I
didn't get too put as much time into French as I would've liked, but that's life. The good thing is that I
have holidays until 28th April, so that's 3 weeks or so. Unfortunately I won't be able to kick my feet
up and I'll be working the entire holidays, but I think i should be able to put a bit more time into my
French.
I'm taking my time with FiA, have watched through the video for lesson 8 numerous times and i'm
slowly working through the workbook.
Until next week.
