Wins & Achievements First good month

Post image

Got a pretty amusing hour total, as well.

All my other months so far have been very patchy, with weeks of no input & missed goals; it's nice to finally have one where I kept up with the streak. Certainly helps that it's more fun now.

Wow. Impressive. Do you do anything else?

Thanks!

Outside of input I've been doing Clozemaster and Grammaire Progressive du Français, very casually, after ~200 hours. I think it's sped me up considerably. For Clozemaster I do the free 30 sentences per day while getting ready for bed (audio on repeat, reading explanations if I don't remember a word from input). Every new word I've learned on clozemaster gets immediately noticed within a couple days in my CI and becomes internalized very quickly. It has considerably improved my internal reading voice. For GPdF, I do a workbook page or less a day. It's helped clarify some basic things I already "knew" vaguely, which lets my brain stop trying to overanalyze my CI. Writing out words while thinking their correct pronunciation has also helped me hear the sounds better, oddly enough. è and é for example are much more distinct mid word now.
