#i already read the dictionary on a semi-regular basis but never the whole thing just certain sections at a time

[coquelicoq]

just had the thought "after i exhaust the french fiction, poetry, and textbooks i own, i could read the french dictionary cover to cover" and got, like, GENUINELY excited about it.

#this is the best idea anyone has ever had! #no more wondering how to pronounce things. no more wondering what a word means. it's right there! it tells you!!!!!! #i already read the dictionary on a semi-regular basis but never the whole thing just certain sections at a time #and not out loud. this would be reading out loud #also it would be in french obviously. usually when i read the dictionary i'm reading the english dictionary #(or more accurately the english section of a dual-language dictionary since i don't own a regular english dictionary) #i don't actually think this would be an effective way to acquire new vocab and then retain it but it sounds SO fun #it's going to take me like a year to read all the french fiction poetry and textbooks i own but after that. watch out world!! #french #lecture du dico #my posts #in other news i retook this vocabulary quiz that i last took about 9 months ago #and at the time i scored in the lower 47th percentile and it was like congrats! you have the vocabulary of an 8yo in france! #and THIS time i scored in the higher 47th percentile (+6%) and NOW i apparently have the vocabulary of a 10yo in france! #hah! in your face french children! it takes you two years to learn the words i can learn in nine months!!!! #(this is a joke the quiz probably has like a 5% margin of error lol) #(also french children are DEFINITELY learning french faster than me. no question. but let me have this)
