Hey! It'll be fun to try something new. I'm not English native speaker (passive skills are much better than writing).
There are many languages on my 'to learn' list. Spanish, French, Finnish, Norwegian, Japanese, Korean, Portugese... but I need to focus on ONE language that I want to improve. That is why I was waiting until new TAC to start. Let me introduce myself - my name is Krzysiek, I'm 18 yo. and I come from Poland. I'm Polish native speaker. Besides I speak English and German. I play the guitar and practise Taekwon-do ITF. I love learning languages and learning about them. This year I'm going to annihilate myself with French. I've got 20GB learning materials, Lingvist.io and Duolingo. I will check if you can be "Fluent in 3 months" as Benny says. Let's start the year with learning whole vocab (5000 most used words) from Lingvist.io. Good luck folks! Edited by Wessnosa on 03 January 2015 at 1:41am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've started learning words with lingvist.io one week before the TAC started.
The site shows that I know 407 most used words, that give me about 61% words on any text in French. I've finished my 150 repetitions for today. Two saying that I remember from duolingo: loin des yeux, loin du cœur (pol. Co z oczu, to z serca/Czego oczy nie widzą to serce nie zaboli) - far from the eyes, far from the heart Tel père, tel fils (pol. Jaki ojciec, taki syn) - like father, like son Once again, I'm listening to the musical - Romeo et Juliette (YouTube link) (I know most of French lirycs by heart) and I need to refresh my duolingo tree - turn everything into golden skills once again (level 9).

Hey Wessnosa, Bienvenue à Team Français 2015! I'm looking forward to following your progress in the TAC this year.
I don't go on Duolingo much these days, but now I'm following you there. Edited by Jeffers on 03 January 2015 at 2:29pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sooo... today's the last day of the week! Quick summary:
I was using lingvist for at least 15 minutes a day. How about my duolingo? Well... I promised to use it after those 5000 words on lingvist, anyway, that's the image of what I've done before TAC: 
And I need to discover the difference between falloir and devoir verbs. Devoir - When followed by an infinitive, devoir expresses obligation, probability, or supposition. Falloir is stronger and somewhat more formal than devoir ; it expresses necessity. Falloir can be used with an infinitive or the subjunctive. Because it's an impersonal verb , falloir does not conjugate for different subjects, so in order to specify the person who needs to do something, you can either use the subjunctive or an indirect object pronoun with the infinitive. Je dois partir I have to, I must, I'm supposed to leave Je devais étudier I had to, was supposed to study Je devrai travailler I will have to work Je devrais lire I would have to, I should read Il faut travailler It is necessary to work, One needs to work. Il me faut travailler, Il faut que je travaille I need to work. Il ne faut pas manger One must not eat. Il nous fallait manger We had to eat. I spent some time with TV5MONDE+ and their "7 jours sur la planete" and listening to radio. Song of the week: "Verone" - from Romeo et Juliette I know most of lirycs from the musical by heart, that is why I often learn words just by singing them ;) Vous qui croyez avoir tout vu, vous qui avez voyagé, qui avez lu, que plus rien jamais n'étonne... Bienvenue à Vérone! Vous qui trouvez que l'homme est bon parce qu'il sait faire de belles chansons. Si vous trouvez que celle-ci est bonne... Bienvenue à Vérone! Bien sûr ici, c'est comme ailleurs, les hommes ne sont ni pires ni meilleurs. Eh! Vous qui venez chez nous ce soir par erreur ou par hasard... {Refrain} Vous êtes à Vérone, la belle Vérone. La ville où tout le monde se déteste, on voudrait partir mais on reste. Ici c'est pas l'amour des rois, ici deux familles font la loi. Pas besoin de choisir ton camp on l'a fait pour toi y a longtemps. Vous êtes à Vérone, on parle de Vérone, ici le venin de la haine coule dans nos vies, coule dans nos veines. Bien sûr nos jardins sont fleuris, bien sûr nos femmes sont belles et puis c'est comme un paradis sur terre mais nos âmes elles sont en enfer. Vous êtes à Vérone. Vous qui le soir vous endormez en étant certain d'être aimés. Ici, on n'est sûr de personne. Bienvenue à Vérone! C'est vrai nous sommes bénis des dieux, ici on meurt mais on meurt vieux. Ici chacun à sa couronne c'est comme ça à Vérone. Bien sûr ici, c'est comme ailleurs, les hommes ne sont ni pires ni meilleurs. Eh! Vous qui venez chez nous ce soir par erreur ou par hasard...

Salut! According to ligvist.io I should remember about 640 words! That's a lot of vocabulary that I finally want to use in practice.
One of rules of getting fluency in any language - have some shower discussions! That's quite funny since I'm able to hold a self-conversation if French! That keeps me motivated. Aujourd'hui, je trouvé un livre dans la bibliothèque, et je vais le lire durant cette mois ;) 
My log: 1 I - 15 minut lingvist.io 2 I - 15 minut lingvist.io, 23XP duolingo 3 I - 15 minut lingvist.io, 1XP duolingo 4 I - 15 minut lingvist.io, 30XP duolingo 5 I - 16 minut lingvist.io, 19XP duolingo, 30 minutes of listening to radio 6 I - 18 minut lingvist.io, 1XP duolingo, 30 minutes of listening to radio 7 I - 17 minut lingvist.io, 43XP duolingo, 1 hour of listening to radio That's been a whole week!
