I had an interaction in my target language, a bit longer one, that went really smoothly. Definitely made some grammar mistakes, but communication worked out pretty well.

I've begun speaking more with people in my goal language. It's scary, but when it works, very rewarding.

We were on the road this weekend, so I had to navigate some hotel staff interactions. I was able to understand much of the language, but my ability to speak is quite limited still.

My reading is soaring forward. I finished my A2 learning book (pass #1, I'll read it again soon) and am working through some other children's books for basics practice.
