Did a little review of some of the vocab that I highlighted yesterday in the articles I read on In the Mood for Love. A little bit tired to go through them all today. I hope that I can make some more progress tomorrow.

Working on unknown vocab and useful phrases from the Loud Murmurs' transcript of the first episode on the Sound of Metal, which I have listened to before. Still got a long way to go but definitely enjoying revisiting the content.

I met a new friend today. He was so nice and such a cool teacher. He taught me a lot of new phrases during the course of our at least 2-hour conversation. I think I'll never forget 令人发指 (and that is coming from someone who really needs to put in a lot more effort to learn idiomatic expressions.)

So I couldn't in good conscience go to bed without doing the normal Anki review. It was nice that the flashcards from the news articles about space came up.
17 minutes 0.28h
Anki-fied new vocab (I don't think it counts as review really)
Unfortunately too tired to do anything else today. Hopefully, I can make up for it tomorrow. I have some interesting vocab that I picked for today's long meetup that is in need of real reviewin'.
27 minutes 0.45h
picked ten bits of vocab from my phone vocab collection, reviewed and anki-fied. I definitely need to have a look for example sentences, especially as there are a few I am hoping that I can use in my own writing soon. I need to develop a feel for how they are used. I just can't do anymore today. Too tired.

Anki review (short and sweet. Glad to see that some of the vocab introduced at the start of the challenge is still sticking. There are a few that I need to work on a bit more though...)

[27 mins] Anki review
[73 mins + 104 mins] mined news articles from NYT, BBC and a very short one from Xinhua. Any unknowns or useful vocab was put into anki. Did a break down of the unknown and found example sentences where I could (also anki-fied). I'm gonna try and talk about this with language partner tomorrow to see if anything is able to stick in long-ish term.
Sounds like an awesome study session! Have fun talking with your 語言夥伴!
谢啦!!!(I forgot to say what the articles were about! hahaha! The Shenzhou-12 launch; definitely went down a little rabbit hole on that haha)
Awesome! That was some big news. And nothing like a rabbit hole to learn loads of new stuff :)

went through a news article textbook article, that I didn't read in the past and pulled out vocab that I either didn't know the meaning of or didn't feel confident in how to use them. I still have to go into them in more depth...probably tomorrow

248min/2 ---> Reviewed idiomatic expressions and example sentences and put them into Anki.
Noted unknown vocab in its sentence in articles on the first episode of Loki. I'm yet to put them in Anki.
Reviewed vocabulary saved on my phone; put them in Anki.
[Pretty sure, I won't be working as long as I did today in future. This is definitely just first-day excitement, and today I just happened to have time. I have a whole load of vocabulary saved from conversations with my friends, dramas and news articles on my phone. I'm hoping I can make my way through many of them this month, making notes and flashcards as well as finding example sentences and making flashcards for them and then, of course, review. We'll see how it goes. ]
