Didn't do much today except come more to the conclusion that I have an adversion to Spanish. Anytime I set out to learn it I end up studying Portuguese instead. But I'm becoming very frustrated with Portuguese. I can never seem to find phrases to say things such as 'to leave school [pernamently]' or even 'to find an expression for' when I was complaining about not finding expressions on how to say things. It's weird how my reading skills in Portuguese are not far from being on par with that of my French reading skills yet all my other skills fall much further behind. I really need to practice my passive skills so I'm going to start going back onto www.lang-8.com which is a site where you can write in a journal and have native speakers correct your language for you. Any time I come across a new word or phrase, I'm going to practice writing sentences using that word to practice my writing skills.
