Publicity and Progress
I am enjoying my more structured program, plus this site is featured on Blogger Effect.
Today my blog and I are profiled on Blogger Effect, in the Heart of Blogging series there. Please check it out!
I am now on my second day of a more structured program. For me, structured does not mean very structured. I am not a schedule-y kind of person. However, yesterday’s language studies were devoted entirely to Italian, and today’s are, as far as I know at 10:00 this morning, going to be devoted entirely to French.

I’m Going to Try to Finish This Today
I am worried about my Italian and Portuguese. Those two are constantly attacking each other in my brain.
Also, the word “trout” in French (la truite) is breaking my mouth.

I take it you’ve gotten to the lesson in French 4 where you have to order “the trout with almonds” a few times. Yes, that one sucks.
Even more of a tongue-twister for me was “fallen in love” later on in the units - the variation of vowel sounds in that one just KILLS ME. Good luck ;)
I’m hoping to fix that, so I am (for the THIRD time, admittedly) redoing all 120 Pimsleur lessons. I’ll be done with them by February (just started a few days ago), and I’ll follow it up with lots of movies that have French-language soundtrack options (my stepdad has a lot of them, I am incredibly fortunate to have this opportunity). Hopefully I’ll do better this time around and it’ll stick much better afterwards.
I don’t know how you do it, Ellen - this is the third time at least that I’ll have redone these lessons, I cannot possibly imagine doing 17 languages in less than 5 years!
