It's been a while since I have posted my handwriting. Here we go (click for the bigger resolution):

Yesterday evening I was bored enough to go for this:
Yeah, according to that I have solid A1 in German. But I honestly would argue about that. Sometimes I was using my intuition, I didn't know genders of most words used there (when it was essential to know them), I still mess up with cases despite having a self-drawn table on my fridge, and my vocabulary is too freaking small!
Though, anyway... let it be A1, okay. It took me over a year to get there, and if I won't speed things up that won't do me good.
Summaries are freaking boring, so I'll skip the formal part today. After watching some episodes of Doctor Who I turned on Fäulnis and began another journey in the caves of Memrise. Well... here we go:
84, 84, 80, 96, 100 (would it matter if I tell you that there was a lack of writing exercises, more tests?), 100 (same case with 20 words instead of 25)
This to say that I'm still not satisfied with my progress.
Also watered my long-forsaken Swedish. 14 items with 43% accuracy. Poor Swedish...
Maybe I will get down to some Greek as well, but I have already listened to some songs anyway and German and English attract me way more at the moment. I even think that I may end up with some textbook... if I have managed to stick to Memrise, why not to try this with some more serious stuff? But no guarantees here, I can throw this idea out of my head just as well.

I think A2 is actually accurate for your German. At A2 you are not expected to know the
gender of every word off the top of your head, and I can't do it either at B2 (I have a
better feel for it than you do, but I still make tons of mistakes). I don't think that
that is a factor in determining your A2.

I'll take A2 test today or anytime soon and we'll see if you're right :)
Or not. Because I don't freaking believe this tests anymore!
I passed these two today:
I know that my English is good. But not that good for sure.

You can't really test C2 with a test that simple.

Yep, I intend to check it by dealing with some of free online versions of IELTS after the weekend, maybe. And I think I ought to start with C1 anyway.
___________
L-Red first chapter of HP6 Eng-Ger. Surprisingly good feelings about that. Since I tend to be a passive learner and I don't want to deal with actual textbooks in the middle of July I think about getting L-R on a daily basis alongside Memrise. Keeping a log with (alas!) boring summaries seems to be working so far, let's see what will happen next.

German A2 test taken:
But I was guessing far too often and I just feel that my grammar and knowledge of colloquial German are not good enough. But, hehe, I finally was able to use Polyglot course - I would never be able to remember past participle of schreiben if not for average students of Dmitry Petrov :)
Summary:
English: Doctor Who (finished season 1, started season 2, can't stop looking at David Tennant... whoops. But he has better accent that Christopher Eccleston - I won't ever forget latter's approach to shut it and some other words with an u), songs
German: chatting (!), Memrise, songs (a little)
Both: L-R chapter 2 of HP6

Summary:
English: songs
German: Memrise
Both: L-R chapters 3 and 4 (the second one, though, not really attentively enough for I felt so very sleepy... maybe I'll L-R chapter 4 once again then, but maybe not)
Less of good feelings about L-Ring. But it doesn't seem horrible as well (unless I'm sleepy, hehe)
