Progress made this week:
Assimil Italian: lesson 80

I registered for CELI 2 (B1 level) on 21st of June, so that still gives me two months to study and be ready for the exam.

Progress this week:
Assimil Italian: lesson 85
Phrasebook: page 72
I started using Lingq to read texts to improve my vocabulary and quite like it so far. According to Lingq, I know 401 words in Italian so far (I have just started, so that number should go up very quickly).

I spent the week-end in the Netherlands, so I got to practice my Dutch a tiny little bit (ordering in the restaurant, buying tickets) and I read some 40 pages of my French-Dutch phrasebook

Progress made in Italian during the last 2 weeks:
I missed last week's update as I spend a few wonderful days in Italy. I totally fell in love with Florence and absolutely want to go back there, possibly for a summer course if I get the chance. I ate way too much delicious Italian food and spoke Italian as much as I could. I understood everybody and everybody understood me which is really encouraging. We took the tourist bus in Florence and I listened to the commentary in Italian, I understood almost every word and I also had the feeling that I understand Italian TV much better than before, not quite every word, I still have trouble with some idiomatic expressions, but my listening comprehension is definitely improving.
I'm on Assimil lesson 92 now and on page 110 of my phrasebook.
