Report for day 5:
Esperanto : - Learn 100 new words (wordlist): only 55 words - Do an Anki review and add new words from the previous day: OK - Listen to at least 1 music : no - Watch 1 short video : no - Read 1 chapter of "La eta princo" in Esperanto : no Spanish : - Listen to Spanish music or radio for at least 1/2 hour : only one song Today my schedule was a bit complicated so I did not get to do my Esperanto or Spanish. I still learned 55 new words and did my Anki review from previous days in Esperanto and listen to one song in Spanish just to keep "in touch" with the languages. I should be back on schedule tomorrow. Also, I am conscious that those reports must be very boring to read and I apologize for it but I do think it helps to be more consistent with doing some every day so I will keep posting them. I will try to post more interesting stuff every now and then though. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It's a good idea to have a schedule for each day. I have goals for the month, but maybe I should try to break it down into what I need to do each day. Some things are obvious; If I want to do 30 hours of listening per month, I have to do 1 hour per day, etc. But some I should probably think over how much I need to actually do in order to make it.

So I am rebooting my attempt to learn Esperanto and I plan to reboot my Spanish this summer. I am still unsure whether I will stick with it as I have a lot to sort out in my life at the moment.
Right now, here is my plan : - 1 lesson per day; - 35 new words per day; - 15 mn of listening per day; - 1 chapter of a book per week; - 1 short essay per week; - 1 conversation per week. I will not post an update for this every day as I realize this presents no interest whatsoever for others (I still keep a chart for myself though) but I will try to post every week to say how things are going. So this week, I have been working with "Ana Pana" for the lessons and using a lot of "learn Esperanto with subtitles - Story for children" videos on Youtube for the listening. I have not had any luck with finding a language partner on Verbling or Italki so far but I plan on going to a meeting held in my town next friday. Here is my essay of the week : "Saluton Mia nomo estas Tsopivo. Mi skribas en Esperanto por la unua fojo. Mi estas juna virino. Mi havas dudek sep jarojn. Mi loĝas en malnova apartamento en Montrealo, en Kanado. Sed, kiam mi estis pli juna, mi loĝis en malgranda urbo apud Parizo en Francio. Mi parolas la francan kaj la anglan lingvojn bone. Mi lernas Esperanton ekde kvar tagoj. Mi pensas ke Esperanto estas malpli facila ol oni diras. Sed, mi opinas ke Esperanto estas la plej facila lingvo. Pli poste, mi volas studi la hispanan lingvon. Se mi povus paroli la hispanan, mi povus vojaĝi en Latin-Amerikon kaj mi povus paroli kun la Latin-Amerikanoj. Mi havas unu fratinon kaj mi ne havas fraton. Mia fratino estas pli maljuna ol mi. Ŝi loĝas en sia propra domo kun mi bofrato. Ŝi laboras en butiko. En ĉi-tiu butiko oni vendas vestojn. Kiom da gefratoj havas vi ? Respondu ĉar mi estas scivola."

I will write a more detailed update for the 1st week sometime soon but in short, I am very enthusiastic and will keep the same plan for next week.
In addition, I will try to do one Romulan beginner challenge everyday or 7 a week. Challenge of the day Write four sentences about a holiday you enjoyed. Where did you go? What did you do? Who did you meet? What was the food like? Edit : It would seem that I am quite lucky today. My Ana Pana lesson on the day happened to be on vacations and required me to write a short essay on my best holidays. Believe it or not, I did not know that when I "decided" to do challenge 8 today and I actually used dice for that. This subject inspired me so I decided to actually write my essay of the week for that exercise. One stone, three birds :D Here it is : "Mia plej bona vojaĝo Post kiam mi finis studi en la universitato, mi faris paŭzon en mia studado kaj mi vojaĝis en Aŭstralion dum dek monatoj. Dum la ses aŭ sep unuaj monatoj, mi loĝis en junulargastejo en Townsville kaj mi laboris kiel kelnerino en greka restoracio. Komence, mi estis sola sed mi rapide renkontis multaj personoj de la tuta mondo. Kun miaj novaj amikoj, mi vizitis muzeojn, ekskursis en la sovaĝa naturo, miris pri la belagajn pejzaĝojn, naĝis en la maro kaj en la lagoj ktp. Ni havis multe da amuzo kaj aventuroj. Dum mia restado en la junulargastejo, mi ankaŭ renkonti juna viro kaj, kiam mi forlasis Townsville, ni vojaĝis kune. Ni aŭte traveturis Australion, de la orienta marbordo al la okcidenta marbordo, tra la dezerto. Ni faris multajn amuzajn agadojn, tamen mi plej ŝatis plonĝis en la mirinda Golfo de Exmouth. Nun, ni ankoraŭ loĝis kune en Montrealo. Do, renkonti lin estis la plejbona afero ke okazis dum mia vojaĝo."

So I feel that I have sorted most of my personal problems - I still have to find a job though - and that I can now re-re-re-reboot my language studies.
On the Esperanto front, I studied for a little over a month last April and May and it went pretty well and I even went to an International 2-3 days long meeting in Ottawa which I quite enjoyed. However, I stopped studying shortly after that, due to being quite lazy. Hence the re-rebooting. My plan is the same as before except that I drop the challenges (I will try to do once in a while when I am interested in one rather than a random one everyday which proved to be too much "pression") and that I don't feel the need to learn new words every single day. On the Spanish front, I have not actively studied since I wanted to start Esperanto first but I have been watching the entire "Extr@", the entire "Avatar, the last airbender" and the beginning of the "Game of Thrones" series in Spanish without subtitles. I plan on continuing so until my parents visits at the end of September and to begin a more intense or active phase of learning after their departure at the beginning of October. I will be working exclusively on passive skills with a focus on reading. All in all, even if I did not keep anywhere near my initial plan and now have to reboot, I am not too unpleased with myself. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm glad that you've rebooted your studies! Seems like you have a good game plan to get lots of learning done. I like
make very specific goals for myself as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thank you Emily.
Esperanto Re-Reboot : Month 1 Report : Catching up So going back to my Anki was not too fun when I realized that I had over a thousand due cards and of course, I had forgotten a lot of them (so I ended up with a lot more than a thousand due cards). I decided to do them little by little rather than in one crazy go and fixed my goal to 5 to 10 mn of vocab per day. I have caught up now so I am replacing this goal with the minimal goal of doing whatever cards are due everyday. During my 1st reboot, I had finished the Ana Pana correspondence course and had completed 75% of "La Puzlo Esperanto" and "Mi estas komencanto" courses. I started back at the beginning on both unfinished courses but doing them quickly / skipping some time-consuming unnecessary parts. I am back at the point where I was when I dropped them now. I also did a relisten and/or reread of all the beginner and intermediate material on Lingq, except for "Alice in wonderworld" which I save for latter. I was happy to see that it was a lot easier than the 1st time around and that for some of it, I was able to only listen and did not need the written text to understand. I tried L-R on one text and liked it. I will probably do that technique again if I find suitable material. Finally, I worked with new material : I read "Esperanto Essential" and a lexicon and I begun working though "Bildoj kaj demandoj" but without the audio which takes too long to load. So my current plan is : - 3 times 30 mn of audio a week - 3 lessons a week - 1 chapter of a book a week - 1 essay a week - 1 discussion a week - Anki everyday Spanish whateverthisisness: Still not really studying it but enjoying the occasional TV show in Spanish and counting them toward the Half super challenged. I am still watching Game of Thrones in my spare time and I am trying Pimsleur too (I have some moments in the day where my hands are busy and my brain is not so I figured I might as well do some listening and I am not good enough yet for native content). Also I forgot Isabel in the list of TV shows I watched in my previous post. My plan is still no plan since my focus is on Esperanto and I am not officially studying Spanish. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
