There’s a dinner-party organised for just before Christmas, and most of my school-friends will be attending. I’m looking forward to it, as the last time I saw most of them was over six months ago. I want to stay in touch with them, but not exactly re-create the friendship as it was years ago. Just see how they’re doing, what’s going on in their lives, and catch up. I’d be quite happy to let it go another six months before seeing them again after this.
I’m here in Nice for a week. While I said that living in France is “not worth it”, I do heartily recommend visiting France. The food is always great, and the weather is good, even at this time of year. As long as I don’t have to deal with cashiers, middle-aged wannabees, and France Telecom, I’ll be fine!
I’ve been reading some Danish-language forums, and – to my delight – I can understand much of what’s being said! It’s mostly teenagers discussing things, but that’s OK for me because they tend to use non-formal language, which is what most people speak with their friends from day to day.
I look up every word I don’t understand, and add it straight-away to my SRS (Anki, in my case). On that note, I’ve started sharing my Danish flashcards online, and, in the past five days, seven people have downloaded the set. I’m very pleased! It gives me confidence that I’m going about learning the language the right way. (The reason I say this is becuase I spent a lot of time learning French in the past, but largely to no avail.)
