Status Saturday: Week 1
Learning new language is all about being consistent and methodical. It's learning a little bit every day, practicing, and making sure it sinks in.
To help keep myself honest, I'll update with my status every Saturday -
Babbel Progress
Current lesson: Newcomer I (A1.1) - Unit 8
- Focus right now is on numbers, nationalities, avere and possessives.
Review average score: 78%
- Practiced this week on Monday, Tuesday and Friday
- Lots of room for improvement
Dante Global Classes
Attended both classes this week.
This week we practiced numbers when discussing our ages and telling time, and we started practicing with avere.
Reading
This week I ordered Olly's Short Stories in Italian for Beginners. Glancing through it, it's just slightly too advanced, so I'll keep it handy to start reading soon.
Listening
Reading through some recommendations on Reddit, the community sounds pretty keen on Coffee Break Italian. I haven't started this yet, but I'm going to add it to my podcast rotation.
Watching
I'm not quite ready for it yet, but I'm going to start with some kids shows, beginning with the Italian dub of Pocoyo.
