Congrats, Emme! I'm about the same time as you, even though I tried Russian several years
ago. I'm sure the next 100 days will bring a lot more of hope and fun! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That is awesome. Congratulations. :)
Isn't it strange what happens to us when we hang around HTLAL too much? I think we can blame kanewai for starting the Assimil challenge. It's his fault. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hey Emme,
how's everything going? I hope you're still making progress in Russian? It would be great to read from you again soon! Успехов! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks Josquin for dropping by.
Here’s a quick post to say hi to everybody, especially my fellow Mir and Viking teammates. I’m sorry that I’ve been absent from the forum for the past month. Everything was going fine especially with Russian and the 6wc when we had a major health crisis in the family. Hopefully, the worse is now over, but I’m not sure if and when I’ll be able to get back to language learning in earnest with log updates and twitter posts. Priorities are very different now: at most I may use language learning as a distraction from other worries (god knows I need it!). I hope to be back soon and to read about all your amazing progress in the meantime. Wishing you all the best!

Oh dear, there really seems to be some sort of curse on Team MIR! Of course, family is more important than everything else. I hope everything turns out well and you can get back to your languages soon!

Thanks for the moral support, Expugnator and Josquin!
--- Things have somewhat improved in the past couple of weeks, and I’ve been able to spend 10 minutes here, half an hour there with my target languages: nothing very intense, just watching some TV, listening to podcasts or reading the news in my TL(s). None of it is “real study” (at least not in my book), but it’s nice to be able to steal a little time for myself now and then to engage in languages again. I’m awfully behind reading everybody’s logs, so please bear with me while I try to catch up! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Life sometimes throws you curv balls, and our team members seem to have received their fair share this
year, but I know that we will overcome that. I work with a French organisation where three out of four of the last heads have been chauvinist, undemocratic and a bully. Since I call them on it, I get my fair share of blows. My boss described me as someone who could get knocked out, but would take a moment to breathe, struggle up on my feet again, spit out blood and teeth and go charging right into the fight again. I am counting on all of us to do that once we get our bearings. We just need to catch our breath first. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful |
