This week since July 02, 2023, I plan to learn 2000 new French words in one week. Here is the summary of the project:
- Motivation: To escape the limbo of A2 level in French, by pouring my heart to this language.
- Detailed plan: accumulate new words or phrase from any source.
- Execution:
- I follow the "grand plan" on Monday. I reach about 100 new words.
- I shift the plan on Tuesday, to learn by heart some French songs. Indeed, I learned by heart 3 songs.
- I shift again the plan on Thursday. Why? Because I found that I need to be exposed to the language (I mean, to listen to) as much as possible. So I put all effort on listening, news then later on movies.
- On Saturday, I added grammar and learning new vocabularies to the shifted plan. So my curriculum now is to listen to movies on Youtube while walking, and sometimes learning grammar or new words on newspapers.
- Result: I would say that I have failed the project, however I have discovered the curriculum that is best suited for me. I cannot reach that point if I had not pour my heart in the language for 1 long week.
- What I learned:
- Limit the scope of the plan;
- Be ready to shift the plan if reasonable;
- Keep next one week plan;
- Apply my discovered curriculum to learn languages.
Update on Wednesday, 19 July 2023:
I cover my apartment with full of flashcards: words, grammars. I stick hard vocabularies to the most valuable "real estate":
