Thank you for the comments, everyone! Moving host families again (for the last time, insha'allah), a bout of typical Egyptian stomach sickness, and an orientation have disrupted my study schedule a bit, but I'll be completely back to the grindstone tomorrow. At the orientation, I learned of some major impending changes with my program, and hopefully I'll be able to post about the outcome soon.
And Administrator, and anyone else who's interested, I swear I'll start figuring out the picture blog thing this week. I've just had a lot on my plate. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

So I definitely haven't gotten this log off on the right foot in twenty-ten, but I have a good excuse: my family has been visiting me in Cairo for the last week, AND I've been sick. They are headed back to the snowy midwest now, and I am back on the horse today (though my lesson was canceled because my teacher is sick). I will update when I have actually finished some stuff, but here's a teaser: يوم الأَفعال

العربية
ماعملت كفية اليوم لانّ يوم الخامس يوم الحفلة في القاهرة وكان في بيتي أَفراد كثيرون. صباحاً ذاكرت "آنكي"كثيراً وبدأت دراسة اللغة الفارنسية. مساءً عملت أوراق لتصريف الأفال في الماضي لانّني وحش جدا فيه I did not get a whole lot done today, as Thursday night is party night in Cairo, and today was also a holiday, so a lot of people stopped by. In the morning I started Michel Thomas French (see below) and studied a lot of Anki, and in the afternoon I made a bunch of verb conjugation charts and studied them up for a while to work on internalizing my ability to conjugate oddball forms in the perfect tense, something I am still terribly slow at. Not a particularly satisfying day, but I got a lot of busy work down, and I'm still kind of sick. French I'm definitely not ready to write anything yet (again, my French was not ever very good), but wow, cognate school with Michel was pretty entertaining. I forgot how much fun that guy was. He sounds so pissed when people rush their answers and make silly mistakes. Using French felt very weird, and I had to fight hard to keep the Arabic equivalents from popping up after every prompt. However, I never actually let any Arabic slip out of my mouth, so I'm hopeful that after a few more sessions I will have built up a nice little barrier. First CD done, and hopefully I will have time for two more tomorrow. Edited by Woodpecker on 09 January 2010 at 1:03pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
