SWAHILI: reread Mbweha na Jogoo, this time with much less dictionary reliance. Read Mbwa Mwitu na Mtoto wa Kondoo (with dictionary).

Tomorrow? Rereading the first story (aiming for no dictionary, fingers crossed!), rereading the second story (with some dictionary), and reading the third story, Panya wa Mjini na Panya wa Shamba (with dictionary, as needed).

LATIN: memorized my pronoun tables (quis/qui, is, ille; quem, eum, illum; etc.) and read some examples of them to get an idea of context. Looked over the 'hic' table again; I've got this one down. Also worked on converting sentences from active to passive and back, but could use some more practice with that.

Tomorrow, I'll review the 'hic' table, active vs. passive, and the pronoun table. If time allows (this is a moderately-sized if, since tomorrow will be quite busy), I'll return to Lingua Latina VIII and go over it slowly and carefully. If I end up with unexpected free time, I'll use it to go over my vocab flashcards for the first few Wheelock chapters (well, I should probably carve out the time to do that anyway...).

LATIN: Reviewed 'hic' table and pronoun tables--I'm good with these, now it's just a question of practicing reading and using them in context. Also did some work with active and passive.

I guess I should mention that for the past few months, I've been dealing with a medical thing that makes it difficult to study sometimes (frequent severe headaches is the most frustrating symptom). So...I'm not sure how much else I'll get done since today is a bad day. I'm only putting it here since a) it does impact my language study, and b) it's frustrating and this is one place I can vent, since I don't want to tell anyone other than my immediate family. It's driving me crazy. I practically had to kill myself to get A's last semester. Anyway, it's finally been diagnosed, which hopefully means things'll improve soon.

Hujambo Rhoda, have you left the forum? And hear I was hoping to be able to ask you some
questions once my Swahili got good enough... and to answer your questions about Latin of
course.
