Today I didn't make progresses with Assimil nor other methods.
Instead, since I'm participating at a French choir project, I sung in French and the lesson was in Dutch. I ended up speaking four languages the same evening. Can't say that I understood everything was said during the lesson of course, but I noticed that I understand more than two weeks ago. I also had the confidence to talk more in Dutch then two weeks ago. The other two languages were of course English and Italian. Then I went to KFC to have a terrible kip salade and I failed speaking in Dutch with the waitress :) I actually failed also speaking English with her, but that's another story :D I have a couple of perfect excuses for that, like "I was tired" or "I wasn't concentrated" ;) Other then speaking French with a native French of the choir, I also had lunch and spoke French (like I do often) with a Moroccan colleague of mine. I feel French is entering more and more in my life. I didn't mentioned it but Saturday evening I watched a Spanish movie, "La lengua de las mariposas". I liked it a lot and understood most of it. Spanish is very beautiful, it sounds like a more poetic version of Italian to my ears. At least, el castellano. It can be fun watching "Destinos", for what I understood it also focuses in showing the differences between the different versions of Spanish in the world. Or maybe it would be boring, don't know! Ho, today I also tried to listen some Dutch radio. I didn't understand one single entire sentence in 5 minutes, amazing ;) I'm about to read something in French before to sleep... Arabian Nights should be perfect ;) Bonne nuit! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Today French course day.
A little rest from Dutch. But the news of the day is that I spoke Spanish for the first time in my life. And I prayed in Spanish with a Colombian guy in a city of the city center in The Netherlands when I was walking on the way of my French course. Hahaha just crazy :) (but I have to admit that prayers in Spanish sound beautiful) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

According to my computations to finish those courses before Christmas I need to keep a
pace of four lessons per day. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Interesting. I'm not doing any dutch lesson for 6 days in a row (but I had a skype conversation).
I don't feel burned at all, but I had a almost dutch-free week (in the sense of progressing with assimil, m90 and dutch101). 1 person has voted this message useful |
