Depending on what mood I’m in April’s language learning can either be viewed as positive steps forward or as a bit of a failure.
In terms of the goals I set at the start of the month, I didn’t fully achieve any of them.
Areas of Opportunity
* On the LearnGaelic.scot beginners course I only did 10 units not the 20 I was hoping for.
* Mango Languages I only did 10 lessons not 30
* Didn’t re-do any of An Cùrsa Inntrigidh
* Only did 27 daily sessions on Memrise as opposed to the full 30 days
* Only watched 4 episodes of Bannan for the whole month
Areas of Celebration
* Realistically the above is actually more language learning than I’d done in months.
* Unexpectedly the teacher of the monthly Brisbane Gaelic class was sick so I stepped in and took the class. It was a good opportunity for some revision.
* Been listening to some Gàidhlig music from bands such as Whyte and Marit and Rona.
I could make excuses for last months failures but I won’t. I’ll just focus on goals for this month:
Active Learning
* Memrise for 5 minutes every day
* At least 5 Mango lessons a week
* 5 LearnGaelic.Scot Beginners Course units per week
Passive Learning
* Watch more Gaelic TV (at least 1 episode of something a week)
* Listen to at least 1 Gaelic podcast a week.
Another thing I want to do is improve my tracking of my study so I’ll be using some tracking sheets created by Kerstin Cable.
