I’ve been reading, but I haven’t been sticking to my loosely defined reading list. Instead I’ve been tumbling around various anthropology blogs and making lists of things to read. I’ve been perusing Anthropology Blog Newspaper where they list the title of the blog along with the titles of the most recent posts. In the process I’m developing my own list of anthropology blogs that I would like to read regularly.
I’ve been reading some French. Well, put more accurately, I’ve been reading some lists of French words. I studied French in the past and I’ve returned to study in part as an exercise in brain stimulation. I’ve been enjoying the free audio lessons at Coffee Break French. A Scotsman teaches French in 20-minute segments. Each audio lesson has a page for questions and comments. They have paid learning materials, but I haven’t tried those. I have my own collection of French grammar books.
Perhaps I should try to come up with some sort of syllabus. I’ll look around for some guides on self-study.
