Based off of the A2 rubric, I've decided that I'm no longer A1+, but instead A2-. I haven't mastered all the required A2 skills (so I'd likely fail any real test), but I've got enough A2 level skills that I think A1+ is selling myself short.

I've picked up significantly more songs from Spotify, especially by focusing on translated Disney songs. Disney does offer very high quality songs that I already know. Of all the Disney songs I've listened to, I'm finding that the Lion King, Tarzan, Princess and the Frog, Tangled, and Frozen, seem to be the best songs. At least in my opinion.

On an "Anki" perspective, I had a big review this Monday. I dumped all of my remaining vocabulary into Anki and had a 500+ review session day on Thursday last week. Which of course followed up with 200+ review session days for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. That got me enough practice that I feel like my review session/test was done well on Monday. Because I feel a bit burned out, I prevented any new words from coming into my Anki reviews for ~3 days (Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday). I don't feel so burned out any more so I'll add new cards starting Thursday.

I enjoyed "Herr von Ribbeck auf Ribbeck im Havelland", though I don't fully understand it yet. I'll probably watch more of "Die Maus" moving forward.
