Progress!
It's already halfway through January. Though, as I mentioned in the last entry, I feel a bit lost and confused right now, I do think that I've made some progress with my language studies. I probably haven't improved much in terms of language skills, but I have taken a lot more initiative to learn and to practise compared to last year.
I'm doing okay with Italian now. I mean, at least I'm exposed to the language everyday. I either listen to an Italian podcast or read some texts on Italian culture (I'm particularly interested in the history and cuisine). I'm aiming to build up and expand my vocabulary during the first half of the year. For those who are also learning Italian, I'd recommend a podcast on Spotify called "Coffee Break Italian". It is geared towards beginners and the host explains the concepts in English so you'd be able to understand the nuances. As for intermediate learners, I'd recommend "Arkos Academy - Learn Italian", also on Spotify. They focus on a specific topic in each episode. IMO the topics are really interesting, they're mostly about famous Italians, bits about Italian history and also some famous Italian brands. They also offer transcripts of the episodes on their website, which, IMO, is an invaluable learning resource when it comes to language learning because it trains your listening skills AND reading skills at the same time.
As for Japanese, I'm falling behind schedule! I have enrolled in an online course for the N4 level and I was planning to do one lesson every two days. Today is the 15th and I'm still on lesson 3...... This is a disaster. I will try my best to get back on track but I don't have much faith in my procrastinating self, lol! Hopefully in my next "progress" entry, I'd be able to bring some good news!
What about you? Have you made much progress with your language studies so far?

English punctuation is weird! It makes no logical sense but punctuation goes inside the quotation marks.

Just thought the sentence was a bit long
As for intermediate learners, I'd recommend "Arkos Academy - —Learn Italian", also on Spotify.
Not the biggest deal, even most native speakers don't know how to use dashes. Just thought you should know.

Again, you don't want your sentences to be too long.

I thought the punctuation only goes in the quotes if it’s a full sentence. He is just writing the name of something, so I’m pretty sure the punctuation can stay outside the quotes.
