One of my new favorite Spanish resources I have found is Dreaming Spanish. It is a great resource to find listening resources at your level, every video is grouped by level from super beginner to advanced. I really like the structure!

Building a new system to capturing my goals and breaking them down into easier to achieve goals!

This is my current language study routine!

Any suggestions for improvements? Trying to create unreasonable expectations but still want to make good progress in each language.

I'm building a database of language learning activities for myself!

The goal with this is to have a list of activities I can pick from to decrease any resistance to starting a study session.

I am going to spend some time today adding more ideas to what I already have!

Currently I'm tracking a study log and a resource list grouped by Type and by Level.

Anything I am missing?

I've considered adding a journal but ended up putting that inside the study log. Seemed easier to have one place to go for each study session.

I spent some time reworking my Notion template for language learning. The dashboard page has a task planner/manager and then each language is in it's own card which holds my study log and resource list.

Hopefully this will increase my organization for my studying!

I might add some explanations to each of the topics in the Grammar Tracker.

This way, the Grammar Tracker is more than just a checklist but a tool to learn each concept in the language.

Maybe I should add a short quiz to test understanding as well.

Any thoughts on this?

A big part of my Spanish learning recently has been using this video course on Youtube. I really like how it also includes listening and speaking practice. A big thing I ignored at first when learning French! Hoping to get the basics down with this and a tutor on Preply!

I'm all in on my Spanish learning this year. Starting from the beginning, this is going to be my focus this week! I'm going to try to get as far into this as I can but still making sure to fully understand each concept before going to the next!

Trying a new way of tracking language learning activities. Each week I am going to put it into a table in Notion. That way I can keep track of weekly goals to make better progress! I might try to change the database views to something more appealing but I think this could help me a lot!

Introducing the Language Learner's Grammar Tracker!

A free tool to track your progress from A1-B1 in English, French, or Spanish. I’m using it to structure my Spanish! More languages & levels coming soon!

I would love to hear your feedback on it!

I am almost finished with my first free language tool!

In an effort to solve language learning problems for myself and hopefully for others, I began working on a solution to better track language learning progress.

I am hoping to have the first version of this out soon!

Today's French Study log!

I was a little rushed but still got some practice!

Watched a video and did some journaling. I always use an online tool to correct my writing!

I also talked to some people on HelloTalk and practiced with a few scenarios on FluentBurst for speaking practice!

I took a French lesson this morning and saw something that I haven't seen before.

There are cases where you make the participle agree even with the auxiliary avoir (instead of only être)

I thought this graphic was pretty helpful

In 2025 I am going to master French

But that means I need to write more and also practice the subjonctif.

Writing a little everyday into notion seems to be pretty beneficial. Today I took some time to write about the repairs on the Notre Dame.
