Completed half of unit 14 on FSI Portuguese. Starting to move onto more complicated stuff such as the perfect tense and even the verbs with an irregular conjugation for the perfect tense. Might have to go back over it but hopefully I'll have grasped it by the end of the lesson. Finished the first line in A1 Portuguese on Busuu [there are 6 altogether]. Learnt some good vocabulary in the lesson 'Como vai você?' such as estar farto de - 'to be fed up of' and orgulhoso - 'proud' etc. Submitted three writing exercises and I'm starting to feel more confident about writing in Portuguese. Might do the next overdue speaking exercise on livemocha Portuguese 101.
Update 22:49
Finally finished unit 14 of FSI. Think I have quite a good grasp of the singular forms of the perfect tense but I'll still probably need to reinforce it more. Also completed two speaking exercises on livemocha. One with a horrible accent which I have no idea possessed me to use whilst talking and one which I feel much more comfortable with. I found a site with the Portuguese translations of a lot of English songs so I'm going to listen to some songs whilst reading the Portuguese and pick up some new vocabulary.
