Studied a bit of French today which I've not been able to say in a long while. Skimmed over Chapter 1 of 'Living French' and found out things about pronunciation which I never knew but now my throat hurts from practing so I think I might stop studying French for today. Did two speaking exercises on Livemocha, the last of which took 30 minutes to perfect and read an article on AIDs in Africa which was good for some new vocabulary:
Au cours de - During
Par ailleurs - In addition
Just spent quite a while looking for example sentences but I found a website [which unfortunately has no translation] so I'm going to translate them and put them into my anki to practice with vocabulary to which I'm not yet accustomed.

Started learning Chinese again. Chinese may be the subject that I'll be doing a degree on next year, depending on whether or not I get good enough grades to get into the university. I think I've been avoiding it to avoid disappointment if I don't get in but after finding a good song in Chinese [which in my opinion is hard to come by] my interested has been rekindled. I decided to review my anki deck of Chinese vocabulary [of which 200 word are now due to be reviewed due to my avoidance] and I was surprised at how easy it was to remember some of the characters. I may sign back up to Chinesepod for June but I'm undecided still.
