I haven’t been able to update much lately, so I’ll just give you a quick update.
There are a few times a year, but these days I’m waking up to “study”. I’m also thinking about my future career. I’m usually a heavy-hearted person who doesn’t do anything, but when the switch is turned on, I start moving to the extreme.
まず夏くらいに始めた公文式フランス。
My pace is slower than it used to be, but I continue to do it consistently almost every day during my lunch break at work.
I would like to finish B before the end of the year if possible, so that I can understand singular and plural forms of words and the present tense of general verbs.
Next year, I would like to challenge the French proficiency test and French conversation.
Another new self-study is English conversation, and I started DMM English.

とにかくとっさのひとこと力をつけたいなあと思っています。ゆっくり考えて英語を書くのであれば、わりとできるんですよね。文法がめちゃくちゃでも。読むのはそんなに抵抗はないし。これがスピーキングレベルでできるようになりたいんです。
I think listening skills will come naturally as your speaking improves, so focus on speaking first.
I’ve been doing the 3 lessons a day course with great enthusiasm. It’s only been three days since I started, and I had to cancel a lesson yesterday because I had to work late. But so far, I’ve done three lessons a day for two days.
I’ve already booked three lessons for tonight.
The “mechanics” are great. The material is even better than I expected.
英語の自習は、先日blogにも書いたこちらも行っています。
やりたいことが多いのは良いのですが、結構いっぱいいっぱいになっているのも事実。後日書く予定ですが、奈良マラソンの翌週にはオーケストラの演奏会も控えています。
Speaking of which, I’m still working on my travel journal, and my website goals haven’t been implemented at all. There’s also a story about graduate school for adults that’s been pending…
The only thing I’ve decided to do is cut back on my music career, at least for next year first.
とりあえず目先の大きな目標は、奈良マラソンが終わったら、あらためて趣味や勉強の時間について整理してみたいと思います。
