Morning
German
Finished up a couple of Level 1 units in Using German Vocabulary (one of which I'd already worked on before with Anki); moved on to the next Level 1 section, which is about movements and such. I know most of the words, but it's still good review. ~1.5 hours.

I've done a number of things throughout the day, and have kind of gotten confused as to when I did it, so no "afternoon / evening" etc.
German
Studied adjective endings some more in Hammer's German Grammar, and did exercise 6.1 from Practicing German Grammar. ~30 minutes.
Listened to a bit of Schlaflos in München #480. ~15 minutes.
French
Assimil French with Ease - Active wave for Lesson 50; also, dropped back and did the active wave for Lesson 1 again. I think I'm going to continue doing this, to get one more "pass" over the material. Then I'll move on to Using French, which I have on hand.
Madrigal's Magic Key to French - I requested this via interlibrary loan, and it arrived today. I read the first 11 lessons. The vast majority of it was review, but I still found it to be a very interesting method, and I love the tricks the book provides on converting literally thousands of English words to French words, based on endings (-ant, -ble, etc.). I'll probably continue to read (quickly) through the book to pick up on such things. When I begin learning Spanish, I'll definitely be picking up the Madrigal's Magic Key to Spanish book. ~1 hour.
Russian
Assimil Russisch ohne Mühe - Reviewed Lessons 16, 17; went through Lesson 18 for the first time. ~45 minutes.

Absolutely nothing. I caught some sort of virus, and spent the vast majority of the day laying in bed.
