Decided to retake my French course's assessment on a whim (allowed to reassess every month), and it turns out I have reached overall A1... which sounds bad, but compared to me starting at A1- there definitely has been an improvement

Keeping up with the self-study resources can be a bit difficult now that vacation is over... and since I have started quite a few more Anki decks (vocab fr->en and en->fr, sentence translation, some grammar...) I do feel a bit stressed at times, but I'm doing my best

Fun story but I returned an Amazon package completely in French today (including the guy telling me to turn my phone to bright mode). It's not a lot but it is honest work I guess

Edit: oh and I just started using the desktop Anki (like you're supposed to)! It's available on AUR. The desktop version has been much nicer than the mobile app I'm using or AnkiWeb
