PT:
With yesterday's lesson I officially stepped into the second half of the course! So far
so good, I'm starting to make my own sentences in Portuguese :)

SP:
Today I got nothing important to report here, just ordinary stuffs as usual :)

FR:
Yesterday I downloaded the audiobook for Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoé". I'd already
read the novel - either in Italian and English - when I tried to go through it again in
French. Unfortunately, I didn't succeed in my intent that time, but I'm glad to see
that now, five months later, I can comfortably understand almost everything of it :)
Today I worked on my French papers & books, listened to some podcasts and talked to
people :)

EN:
Random videos and articles as usual.

JP:
I'm still working my way through the 1006 教育漢字 and less than 250 ideograms are left.
Hopefully by the end of the next week I'll be done with them all ;)

PT & 6WC:
"Day 1" of "Week 4" completed, I keep working on my Portuguese as usual. Last week I
officially joined the "6WC" with this language, hopefully I'll speed up a little bit
the whole learning process. If I keep learning at this pace, by February I'll still
have 2 weeks of lessons left to go through. As I don't want to spend my time and
energies on heavy courses (e.g., FSI), I'm planning to use Michel Thomas's "Portuguese
- Foundation Course" to boost my speaking abilities up to a point I can start using the
language. As the course counts of only about 8 hours of contents, I'll make sure I
finish it by mid February. After that, I'll probably work my way through "Colloquial
Portuguese of Brazil 1". Follow me on Twitter: @58oizirbaF

SP:
Over the last few days I spent quite a long time with the language using it with
friends and watching movies. I'm not working sistematically at all, but I'm happy with
that for the moment.

FR:
My university schedule keeps me awake as it forces me to use the language for my
studies on a daily basis. I'm glad to see improvements, but my French is still too
broken for my taste... February will see me following a free language course of 3
months offered by my university to its foreign students. I'm still trying to figure out
what Delf B2 preparation course I should go for... Damn, it's getting late.

EN:
Random stuffs as always. Today I found a new language partner from the US and hopefully
I'll soon start practicing the spoken language on Skype with her. My English is rusty,
indeed.

JP:
I'm not done yet with the 1006 教育漢字, I'm honestly getting tired of them all... Crap.

Edit: typos
