Summer is over

Hello my friends!

Summertime has come to an end and autumn has arrived. Now it’s time to talk about how I have handled my summer goals #1, #2, #3 and #4 this year.

It didn’t get as well as I thought in the first place. My internship was more time-consuming as I had expected. Besides, I was a little bit sick all the time. But there’s no reason for big excuses. Let’s see how far I got in particular:

 

Learning the Cyrillic alphabet

I can read now the Cyrillic blockletters with difficulty.  I started with cursive but I lost motivation during summer. Didn’t know how the tracks on the CDs match to the book and got frustrated.

Learn to write Sütterlin

This competition was a complete success. I have sometimes problems to write some capitals instinctively right, but I’m satisfied 😉

Improve Swedish to a B1-ish level

I didn’t use the teaching books, but I read daily in my books (bought two new ones) and on dn.se. I also wrote down 30 pages of “Bröderna Lejonhjärta” (The Brothers Lionheart) and translated words and phrases I didn’t know.

I’m maybe on a pretty low B1 level in reading, but I’m still struggling in speaking, writing and listening. I’m waiting for a course at my university which starts in February 2013

Learn HTML and CSS

I found nearly no time for it. I have only teached me a few fundamentals. I’ll give it a further try in autumn 😉
