I just finished the Papiamentu book by Lincom Europa. It is a very technical book, and I
only used it due to the shortage of resources for Papiamentu. Some sections covered too
much detail which is unnecessary for people who speak one of the base languages for this
creole, in my case Portuguese. This is specially true for the phonology, but also for
some morphology sections. The most useful section was the Syntax, and I also learned a
lot just from reading the sample sentences and their translations.

- DC21_07 Part 1 of 3 - Julio Maduro (watched DC21_06 Part 3 of 3 - Intercambio Cultural on Thursday)
- Read the story "E circo a bin", an interesting one
- As promised, I started listening to (when possible) and reading Izaline Calister's lyrics alongside with translations. I started from oldest to newest, from bottom to top, with Mazurka erótika
- Added words to Anki up to page 58
I must admit I browsed through some online newspapers and I didn't feel like reading them. Reading news is so boring! I read this short one from Aruba:
Accidente frontal na Santa Cruz
I didn't get the word "Akinan", maybe it's just a pointing word, a demonstrative. Aki means here and nan usually stands for the plural.
Interesting sentence from the story "E circo a bin":
"E ta trata na hala nan atencion ariba e taalles"
He tried to attract (spanish 'halar') their attention to the language lesson.

Conversei hoje com uma garota de Aruba no Livemocha. Comecei a conversa com "Kon ta bai?" e ela começou a rir muito, e me respondeu em papiamento. Disse que estava bem, e que esse era todo o papiamento que eu sabia e continuamos em inglês hahahaha mas foi interessante.
