Hi tomgosse,
Welcome to the French team and good luck with your TAC 2015. I feel for you, i've experienced years and years of on and off procrastination. Hence why my first TAC in 2014 was called PM's anti-procrastination log. In the end after soooo many methods used to distract myself I just had to get down to business. Procrastination doesn't help at all really. To lend a phrase from St Nike - "Just do it!"
Everyone is different when it comes to this.. well there are many different methods. I personally add EVERY new word that doesn't exist in my flashcard deck while I use my textbooks and audio programs - as I view this as intensive deliberate study focused on acquiring specific vocabulary and understanding new concepts. For movies and TV I rarely ever enter words as I see it as extensive learning not intensive, and for reading it's a mixture of intensive and extensive learning so I enter maximum a few words in any one sitting usually, but when I move onto some of my French learning magazines it becomes more intensive, so I enter more words. It's cumbersome this process and annoying, but slow and steady wins the race... or at least gets you there in the end if you're like me and fixated on not letting any new words slip through your grasp. Btw I own Ultimate French REview and Practice also. It's received a lot of positive reviews, however i'm yet to use it. I'd like to hear what you think of it. Good luck in 2015. Perhaps reading about how to develop habits would be useful for you. I have read a few theories and apparently (depending on the source) if you do something 25 days in a row (i have read 35 days and 40 days too) then you will just continue doing it as it becomes harder to break the habit (to procrastinate) than not. PM Just do it! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi Thomas,
PeterMollenburg here (one of the French team leaders). I'm hoping you're still keen on learning French, and that all is well with you. Many of us migrated to the new " how-to- learn-any-language.org " website after one too many technical issues. Feel free to plunge back into the language learning over there with us (or remain here/or do nothing). HOpe you're going well! PM 1 person has voted this message useful |
