I stopped working on this for while, but as part of some improved motivation I have been enjoying lately, I am listening to my French lessons again. I have a set of “Learn in Your Car: French” CDs that I uploaded to my MP3 player so I can listen to the lessons while I am doing other things. I’ve been listening to the lessons for the past few weeks while doing yardwork. Repeating the words and phrases out loud helps me to remember them. I’d worry that my neighbors will think I’m crazy, but I’m pretty sure that they already do, so it doesn’t matter. :)
