How I did it
How to finish writing/illustrating children's story by 1/31
It took me
1 week
It made me
Good

How I did it: Took longer than the timeframe I set for myself, as it took awhile to get even a remotely good sketch.  Once I got better perspective, it seems to add more value, rather than detract from the story.I've been posting stories to Facebook for awhile to get immediate feedback. Read how I did it…

Memorize 50 Magyar words/definitions by 12/20
Untitled 12 months ago

Found some lessons on YouTube to get this ball rolling. I now know numbers, some colors, and simple greetings.

Sentence structure is new to these English ears! Here’s only a brief taste at how complicated it can be for us:

Lány – Daughter

Lányom – My daughter (in this case it’s this person’s daughter, and this person’s daughter only!

Lányem – My daughter (in this case possession isn’t exclusive to one person.

Lányunk – Our daughter

I’ll keep this informal learning up until I get down to Portland.

Learn about the heroes depicted in Budapest's Hősök Tere
Shouldn't be too difficult 12 months ago

Now that I’ve made it a minor goal everyday to read about one hero a day. I feel like I’m gaining progress at a quicker pace this way and thus an influx of motivation will be had. I don’t feel bad about clicking on those extra links to other Hungarian-related topics this way. The knowledge will bloom further than my original goal had intended.
