Ciao/Hallo!

Questa settimana non ho fatto una lezione tutti oggi perchè non avuto il tempo, ma
oggi ho detto qualcosa in Italiano, e ho... and that's how far my Italian goes for
now, I basically noticed that I need to my work on my
pronunciation and intonation. I have been busy, but I have tried to listen to a bit of
Italian when I have had a bit of
time and I came up with some goals after having read logs from the other teammembers.


Italiano
Main goal I hope to get to a B1 level by the end of the year.

My way of achiving it


  1. Trying to do a lesson of Assimil every day
  2. Looking up grammar and
    words when chatting (hoping for some of it to stick)
  3. Working on my
    pronunciation and intonation of which both are proving a bit difficult



Current progress

Done 14 lessons of assimil
Listened to a lot of Italian music
Started chatting with Italians
I started the active phase already, but since I didn't have the time to stick to a
schuledule I am going to try to restart that process today.
In addition to that I am considering looking up words and memorising them through the
use of Quizlet (things such as the weekdays)

Deutsch

Ziel

Auf eine höhere Ebene als B1 zu kommen (Ich bin momemtan inzwischen B1 und B2)

Fokus: Wörterschatz zu erweiteren und mindestens 20 Minuten pro Tag darauf spendieren.
Das heißt Lesen, Sprechen und hören.
Bis zum jetzt habe ich eine Deutsche übersetzung von einem Buch durch Amazon gekauft,
welch ich lesen werde und die Wörter die ich nicht verstehe, werde ich versuchen zu
lernen durch entweder Quizlet, Flashcards oder einfach Nachzuschlagen (passives
Lernen)

So. It has been a while since my last entry.
I have been very busy, so I had to make a few pauses in my learning, however, I
try do to a lesson of assimil daily and otherwise expose myself to Italian (music, film
etc..) in addition to that I am now using another language course as well (Danish -
Italian) because I thought by using two they might overlap and one course might be able
to teach me something that the other one did not.


In German I try to read a bit as often as possible and learn a few new words/phrases and
I strive towards speaking German on a a daily basis.

So again it has been a while since my last entry.
I have done 41 lessons of assimil so far and have translated from L2 to L1 and back the
following day, moreover I try to use it a little bit everyday.


In German.
I have watched a documentary and try to read a bit every day in this German version of an
English fantasy book, which I bought and I try to passivly gain a wider vocabulary,
because I believe if I can do that my active vocabulary will automatically increase as
well.

Here we are again hello!

What's new?
Well I have done over 50 lessons of assmil and have resumed to do the active phase as
recommended by assimil and am thinking of trying to make decks out of the most tricky
words and put them into quizlet in order to learn them, in addion to that I do weekly
skype conversations with language partners in both Italian and German.


My problem right now is that my motivation is various, some days I really don't feel
like it, but I try to stick to it and still do something in the target language on
those days, like listening to music or reading a little.


I'm struggling with more free speech in Italian, which is irriating I think preparing
a bit more before a skype conversation might be useful. (Picking the vocab to
practice)

So

Italian
It's been a while again and I am still at it I've had to pause my assimil progress,
however, I am slowly, but steadily getting there tomorrow I am doing lesson 60 and I
have had several conversations in Italian, which is really satisfying and I feel that
I can answer quickly on the go or at least hint to what I mean to say!


German
I have been reading a German version of an English fantasy series, which at first
seemed hard, however, after having spent a few weeks on it I've gotten used to it and
I am looking up less and less, I know of course that this is only for expanding my
passiv vocabulary. So I am looking into ways of expanding my active vocabulary.

So
Erstmal mein Post für Team Rätsel.
Diese Woche werde ich versuchen jeden Tag einen Artikel zu lesen und neue Wörter zu
lernen ODER in einem Buch, das ich auf Deutsch gekauft habe (Eragon).

Per l'italiano farò una lezione d'assimil tutto giorno. Adesso sono a la lezione 80 e mi
piace Assimil ancora.
tra'altro adesso ho anche più musica Italiana che sento. E voglio continuare così :D

So zeit für noch eine Aktualiserung.
Bis jetzt habe ich ungefähr 11 % vom ersten Buch in der Serie, die von Eragon handelt
gelesen, zwar auf Deutsch, aber noch spannend wie früher!

Ich mache zwei Dinge, wenn ich lese.
  1. Ich schläge Wörter nach, die ich nicht verstehe. Erst auf Deutsch, danach
    auf Dänisch
  2. Ich schreibe Sätze/Redewendungen usw. Die mir unbekannt sind
    herunter und werde sie später in Quizlet eingeben um sie auswending zu lernen



Italiano
Nella scorsa settimana ho fatto una lezione per oggi e mi sembra come faccio il
progresso, ma è stato un po' difficile, quando devo trandurre le lezione passate.
Allora penso che è una idea di imparare delle parole e delle frasi per mezzo di
Quizlet. Ma non sono certo, forso devo simplicemente fare Assimil ancora quando ho
finito?

Idea(Idee?) sono benvenuto

In addition to all that above I try to listen to a bit of music every day in both
German and Italian.

Idee sono benvenute :)

Yeah I'd say just keep going. Maybe it's difficult because the material was originally intended for French speakers. Rather than learning more vocabulary explicitly, maybe it's better to do some more lessons first. There's a lot of natural spaced repetition in Assimil.
And consider reinforcing the vocab through something like lyricstraining, especially when you're not motivated to do Assimil.
