Premier Post à la Française

Premier français post.
Desole pour mon francais mediocre.
J’aprende à écrire.

French, Week 16

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Sat, 24 Aug 2019 05:45:23 +0530

The words to study are getting overwhelming now.
Just hope this is temporary.

Last week’s mnemonic tip is working wonders though.
I am learning and remembering more words faster.

And now I see why the app is not yet giving me lots of sentences.
It wants me to build up a core vocabulary.

And the time I give it is not much.
So it will all come with time.
(The way the words flow, in my head, is a bit easier now)
I just need to be patient and keep at it.

French, Week 15

Some weeks, you feel like you go through the motions.
This was not one of those weeks.

Made a small breakthrough that helps me now remember words faster, when I add images to my app.
Now in addition to the images for the word, I also add an image that might help me remember how the word actually ‘sounds’.

For example, this is word I have to learn. Singe.
Singe is monkey, in French.
So here’s a monkey … of sorts.

The thing with ‘this’ monkey though is that, he’s singing.
And my brain goes … hmmm … singing monkey … singing … sing … Singe!

Like Trinity says, “That’s a nice trick!” :)

Will do this with all new cards now.
And the old ones that I find hard to remember.

French, Week 14

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Sat, 10 Aug 2019 14:59:33 +0530

This week was a slog.
Kept at it.
Specially after reading this.
Can understand phrases, here and there now.
So, that’s progress. :)

French, Week 13

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Tue, 06 Aug 2019 10:04:39 +0530

I am beginning to understand sentences a bit.
That is all

French, Week 12

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Sat, 27 Jul 2019 10:16:48 +0530

This was a boring week.
But I kept at it.
If I think, I have made progress, all I need to do is listen to a podcast.
And then I understand how far I still have to go.

Still at the stage where I am adding words to my basic vocabulary and doing review.
But there is steady, incremental progrgess.

French, Week 11

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 11:43:11 +0530

Didn’t listen to podcasts.
But kept up with the app.

I can now listen to the french sentences in the app and kind of get it.
No so yet, with stuff outside.

But I somehow think, I’m gaining the teensiest bit of fluency.

French, Week 10

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Fri, 12 Jul 2019 10:45:38 +0530

I can understand bits and pieces in spoken speech now. At it!

French, Week 9

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Sun, 07 Jul 2019 12:24:56 +0530

slipped a day.
but did the rest.

the podcast was amazing.
i did not understand anything.
will keep at it :)

French, Week 8

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Sun, 30 Jun 2019 10:38:43 +0530

French, seems to be the only thing that I do regularly.
Probably because it takes me only 45 minutes to an hour daily.
(And that is because I am dumb and slow and deliberate. I’m sure other folks must be doing this is 10-20 minutes)

While I thought I was making progress, I had a funny sort of realisation when a friend asked me if I could speak and carry on a basic conversation in French.
And I realised, I couldn’t. I could not even understand words (or a sense of what they might convey outside of the little, I was learning daily.)

So I think I will try listening to podcasts in French, in order to get a sense of the rhythm and flow of the language.
Will write back in a couple of months to record, if there has been improvement.

French, Weeks 6 & 7

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Sat, 29 Jun 2019 05:50:57 +0530

Nothing much to say except that I am still at it. Chipping away slowly at this, waiting for my all at once moment.

French, Week 5

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Fri, 14 Jun 2019 09:51:55 +0530

Similar sounding words are an absolute murder on the ears.
I can’t figure out moo and moue, kip and keep, and lots of bonne and bun.
Keeping at it though. Keeping at it. :)

French, Week 4

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 11:57:00 +0530

Coasting along this week, not stretching too much.
Just doing enough, so I do not fall off the wagon.
Having fun reading every word with r with the french ʁ sound :)

French, Week 3

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Fri, 31 May 2019 12:02:53 +0530

It’s going swimmingly well so far.
Still in the phase where there is an avalanche of stuff coming at me.
But a few tiny things, I know now.
Which is how I know I am making progress.

P.S. Crazy idea that just struck me, would to start writing these updates in french as soon as I am able!

French, Week 2

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Fri, 24 May 2019 08:41:09 +0530

This was a week of learning to work at it.
Lots of fun.
Managed to keep up with daily lessons in the Fluent Forever app. Am having trouble with the guttural ʁ sound.
Hopefully will get better at it with practice.

French, Week 1

feedback@janusworx.com (Mario Jason Braganza) — Sat, 18 May 2019 20:33:43 +0530

Finished reading the fluent forever book.
Tried creating flash cards when i got a mail telling about the just launched app.
Have been using it to start with French.

It truly is a timesaver.

I know because I have been creating flash cards for a year now and it takes a significant amount of time.
It is really cool to have all my resources in one place.

Have stuck to the plan diligently.

Right now the focus is on wathching short videos and building up flash cards for vocabulary and for words that sound similar.

More next week …

Bonjour le monde! Je m’appelle Jason.

Veuillez noter: J’utilise actuellement un modèle de langage pour traduire ceci de l’anglais au français.
Pardonnez-moi mes erreurs, s’il vous plaît.
J’apprends petit à petit à lire et à écrire en français, donc j’espère qu’avec le temps, je pourrai écrire en français sous quelque forme que ce soit.

J’ai été beaucoup de choses dans mes vies antérieures.
La plupart concernaient la technologie et le support technique dans diverses fonctions, allant du technicien qui nettoyait les machines CNC à l’ingénieur qui construisait des réseaux, en passant par le consultant en gestion informatique, gérant les clients et leurs besoins dans des bureaux à travers l’Inde.

Ce site et ce blog ne parlent pas de ces vies-là.

C’est moi, enregistrant mon parcours alors que j’apprends de nouvelles choses à nouveau.
C’est moi, essayant de me réorienter vers le domaine du DevOps et du SRE.

Les aspects personnels demeurent. Photos et Musique et Livres et Mots sur les Livres.

J’écris sur tout ce que j’apprends, tout ce que je sais sur l’écriture et tout ce que je trouve assez intéressant pour le partager.

Le cheminement des choses, les mots & citations & trucs que j’aime, et la folie quotidienne générale sont sur mon compte Fediverse, que j’ai tendance à utiliser plus comme un carnet de notes qu’un média social.
