Progress 22/06/2010

Did quite a bit of chapter 7 of Portuguese in 3 months which is mainly focused on nem...nem and ou...ou and other negatives. I glanced over the future tense and the conditional tense which look easy enough but after taking a lot of new things in yesterday I'm going to postpone learning these two tenses for a couple of days. Submitted both a writing and a speaking exercise on livemocha and have noticed a slight improvement in my writing but still making silly little mistakes such as saying 'o televisão' rather than 'a televisão'

After searching through my dvd collections for subtitles last night, I noticed the majority of them had subtitles for scandinavian languages. I've always wanted to learn one of them but due to lack of resources, never really got round to it. So I'm going to do some lessons on livemocha for Swedish [of which according to Lingq I already now 50 words =)]. I thought against it at first because I'm meant to be focusing on just Portuguese but learning languages should be fun and even on a whim, if I think it would be fun to learn some Swedish then I'm going to learn some. I think I have a fear of neglecting my Portuguese because I've never advanced in a language so quickly, without having become fed-up with it, but as long as I review words and acquire some new vocabulary then I'll still see improvements.
