…Over my old posts and thinking I’ve made some pretty good points over the years. I just wished I remembered them after writing them down. Instead, when I stumble upon a post from 4 years ago about prepositions I think “Oh that’s very clever. Did I write this?”
Some of it’s pretty good. I need to take a weekend out and read the whole lot to see what I could learn from it. It might be depressing though. The other day I wrote a blog post and then realised I’d already done one on the same topic (here). Then the other day, when I was looking for something, I came across a post from 2021 about “assim ou assado” and realised I’d forgotten that and duplicated it too, following on from the Raquel Sem Interesse book I read in the summer.
Hugh Laurie said that at his age reading was like filling a bath with the plug out, and I feel the same with portuguese. I’m only retaining about 10% of what I learn, I think. I’m on a slippery slope that ends with someone asking me if I know who the prime minister is.
