The time-tracking app I use, Toggl, has introduced a new feature that allows me to access a dashboard of my recently tracked activities. While I find it potentially useful, particularly with the goal list on the left, some areas could be improved, such as implementing a way to delete goals or tracked activities from the dashboard.
I already use the Google Chrome extension which makes tracking at any moment easy. With this new feature though, I’m able to set plans and have a reminder of my plans every time I open a new tab.
🧧 Mandarin
It's really comforting to know that accidentally using multiple languages while speaking is common for most of you. I think I'll be less hard on myself when it happens to me in the future.

This week, my goal was to watch up to episode 20 of 三体. I reached episode 18 by Saturday but decided not to push myself to watch two more episodes on Sunday just to meet my monthly goal. Now that we're in April, I plan to finish the remaining 12 episodes and start a new drama in May. The one I have in mind is Reset (开端), which is much shorter with only 15 episodes.
I've created this survey for all of you to share your preferences for our drama-watching club. At the end, feel free to suggest a drama you'd like to watch in any of your target languages.

On Wednesday, I attended my final group class. It was a bittersweet moment, but I'm glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and joined classes with other learners. Stay tuned for a future post where I'll compare group classes to private lessons.
With the new quarter starting, I'm contemplating the new goals I'll set for my French learning journey, especially now that I've completed my group class and finished my Easy French textbook (finally).
