I think. I think I did not speak any Spanish today at all. Yikes. + +## English + +Good. + +## French + +I can understand 99% of what I hear without any effort at all. The same goes for reading, depending on what I'm +reading of course. Last test I had was reading "La Bête Humaine" by Zola and I knew 99% of the words. Speaking +is still my greatest weakness, but last Sunday I spoke one hour with my new Russian friend Valery and I'm pretty +proud of how I expressed myself. + +## German + +I can now understand 99% of what is said in the Easy German Podcast. I think the use easy language there, for the +surprise of no one I guess. I say this because most YouTube content targeted for a German audience still sounds like +gibberish to me haha. I'm starting to get a grasp of the form of German, grammar is starting to become more natural. +I can write about my day without much trouble. + +## Portuguese + +My Portuguese is my greatest shame, honestly. I cannot get myself to practice it seriously outside of work. I'll +get there eventually, I swear. -- 2.43.0
