While my Kumon studies are going smoothly, really (see earlier post), the same cannot be said for other studies.
I have to get back on track, really...
* University of London BA in French exams:
Need to start studying on items that will be tested next May.
* St Boniface exams:
Decided to let it pass for a while.
* Penn Foster AA in Business Management:
Need to go back to my study books ASAP...
Oh, I called about the extention and was told that it had been done free of charge. Cool.
* Ecole de rédaction:
Need to work on the first assignment (in French). I am also interested in their course in English, but this will have to wait. Really.
* NEW: Allgemeinbildung (course in German from SGD)
Course in German about "general knowledge". My level of German is of course not what it used to be, given that I do not live in Europe and do not use the language much.
I registered and will get the first pack shortly. I will have to decide if I wish to continue or cancel. And at the same time, figure how to pay for it from Japan (since they do not accept credit cards), given the fees for international payments...

Kumon studies update
An update to this post.
My Japanese studies with Kumon are going on smoothly. I went yesterday to the classroom to pick up new sheets, from the level BII (= second part of elementary school year 2).
As before, there are stories I can understand without checking any word and others that do not mean much, even with the help of a dictionary.
Using past experience to avoid another failure, I try to go once a week or every other week. And I pay the fee in cash. It is easier to slip if payment is by automatic bank withdrawl or if you only go once a month, like I had done in the past.
I scanned stories and printed them out on separate sheets. I will try to use them to work on the vocabulary, etc.
Gambarimashou...
