This year hasn't started well for my health: I'm constantly sick, suffered an accident and some changes are really making me a little depressed. But hey, hopefully everything will get better.
The past two weeks have been really disappointing. I studied almost no Italian, zero French and Persian was basically anki-only (not good for a 6WC, huh?). At least I'm getting used to reading it, and I get most words right - except.. oh well, it's a pain not having the vowels, but I think I'll eventually get it. English spelling was a beast that I managed to tame - not perfectly, but to a decent level. Actually, English is becoming some sort of a main focus; I'll try TOEFL in May and really need to get better at speaking. I need a big score to try some exchange programs. My writing, reading and listening skills are good, I have almost no problem understanding or getting understood, but I have no one to talk to. I really need someone to chat with, but I haven't met any native speaker and I'm too shy to try Skype with random guys. Oh well, I think I'll soon catch up with everything, but I'm feeling a little demotivated right now. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Things always get better eventually, so hang in there. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
I've not been doing much studying lately either, but it's OK to take a little break if you need to -- even during the 6WC :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm actually enjoying "studying" English via movies/tv shows, but I feel like my Italian is suffering ):

Sooo, I'm "officially" back on track!
I've been through a rough time, but perhaps it's ending soon. Restarted Assimil, first lesson of active phase. I'll try hard to study one lesson a day. English - I decided to try TOEFL in June, mainly because most of my exams start around May, and I wanted at least one month to dive deep in some preparation books. I'm not reading (for pleasure) in Portuguese anymore (except for university readings) or watching movies with subtitles. I feel pretty comfortable and confident, I'm sure I can score at least 90 at te iBT. That should be enough. Dropped Persian and French. I really enjoyed learning Persian, but with all the things that have happened the last 3 months, I couldn't simply fit it in my daily life. I disliked French. Don't know, maybe some day I'll start enjoying it, but it had become some sort of obligation, and I know learning languages shouldn't be like that, so I dropped it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I noticed you've started German with the august 6WC! Hope it goes well for you.
How was the TOEFL? Were you pleased with your results? It's a bit late now but if you still want someone to practice your English with i'd be happy to skype with you =) we can practice a bit of Italian too if you're still studying it! 1 person has voted this message useful |
