Brief weekly update

[fuzzyred]

I sort of watered the flowers this week (probably not as often as I should have, but they aren't dead or wilting, so I think I'm ok), but I didn't weed. I maintained my streak on duolingo, and surpassed my daily goal, though I did do less than last week. Did a tiny bit of editing, worked on my basket a little, and saw a friend and his partner last night (first time meeting her but she was really nice and it went well.)

I would like to weed this weekend, and make progress on Duolingo, my basket, and edits. I'm feeling kind of zapped though, so I might spend all weekend on the couch (I have a few Netflix recommendations, so that wouldn't be the worst thing.)

On a related note, for those who use Duolingo, do you get word banks in your lessons/tests? Duo seems to default to them for me even though they never had them when I first started. It feels a tiny bit like cheating to use the word banks when testing out of a skill, but I frequently mess up phrasing while still catching the meaning of the sentence, so I don't feel too guilty about using them. (And I do try to translate it in my head before looking.)

That is good to know. Most of my skills (that I'm working on) are level 0 or level 1 right now, so that might be why. But French is throwing new exercises at me now, I think because I have tested out of a lot of skills, and most of my tree is level 1 or higher. I now have exercises where they ask me what part of a sentence means, either in English, or with other French words (English example: "will buy" is equivalent to "going to buy"). I would definitely be having a harder time without out the word bank too. For sure there would be a lot less tired progress on duolingo; thinking from scratch is *hard*.

Thanks! Over 23,000 of that is in French O.O I'm sure you will make it! You seem to be doing a lot lately, and have a lot of languages you want to learn. :)
