Acquiring Russian: June Report
I've found my motivation again. I think the main cause is that I demonstrably have a basic level of Russian comprehension. For example, yesterday a friend posted a meme on Instagram and I could understand the whole text (it was only about 12 words and I knew all of them except one). Of course since I'm not practicing my output I'm unaware of the mountain ahead of me, but for now I'm enjoying playing in the foot hills. My passive listening this month was mostly of the Speakly stories (I go through periods of listening to them and then I'll spend a couple of weeks listening to RPG YouTube channels) and my active study was of those same stories in LingQ. BTW I just discovered the LingQ mini stories that Steve Kaufmann is always talking about. Somehow I had always missed them (although I blame the interface for that). They seem to showcase different aspect of grammar which is useful. June '22 Statistics Passive watching and listening: 22:07 hours Active watching or
