Oui, bien sûr. Pour le vocabulaire je ne fais pas quelque chose special. Je lit plus et j'apprends le vocabulaire
comme je vais, naturellment. Quand je lit, je marque une ou deux mots et essayer utiliser dans mon prochaîne conversation. Il me ne fait peine pas si je ne sais pas quelques mots ou frases, je sais que je ce vais apprendre dans le future. J'èspere que cette est beneficial pour vous. Yes, of course. I don't do anything special for vocabulary. I read a lot and learn vocabulary as I go, naturally. When I read I note one or two words and try to use them in my next conversation. It doesn't bother me if I don't know some words or phrases, I know that I will learn them in the future. I hope that this is helpful for you. (*side note - my writing in French is really subpar so corrections are much appreciated) Edited by JPike1028 on 20 March 2012 at 6:16am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm about four months into my German studies and I have found that I recently leaped in
my ability to express myself in the language. Truthfully I'm probably more like three months into the language since I had a rough month at work where I wasn't able to study at all. I find it interesting how suddenly the leap in level happened. It seems as though one day I was struggling and the next I was having conversations relatively comfortably. I will be writing my blog post later this evening, so the rest of my thoughts and impressions will be there. Very excited for this progress! I hope to be able to list this language as spoken in another four months, which will leave another four months to bring myself to fluency. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Seems like it is about time for an update. Truthfully, though, there isn't much to update. I'm still just plugging
along. I am nearing 2000 known words on LingQ which I suppose is the biggest news I have. I am also going to be finishing up MT and moving back to Assimil in the next week or two. Other than that, just keep swimming. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

German is still coming along nicely. I have finished MT and am now working through
Assimil. I find Assimil to be a much more subconscious process. I find that my German has gotten better, especially on the listening side of things since working with Assimil again. My only real struggle with Assimil is keeping consistent with doing it. It was much easier with MT, because I only needed ten minutes a day instead of a half hour. However, I am beginning to rearrange my schedule so that I can accommodate Assimil at least six days a week. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It has been an up and down month for me. I got slammed at work for the first couple of
weeks and was not really able to do much of anything apart from listening to some German radio. As things have slowed down I have been able to get back into the swing of things and have found a good rhythm again. I am approaching the start of the Active Phase in Assimil and I know from past experience that this is where things really begin to pick up in my language acquisition. I feel as though I am coming to a tipping point of sorts where I am really going to begin to be very comfortable with the language. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It occurred to me that I may have missed my August post. August was a decent month for me. I have been very
busy with preparations for my wedding and for the upcoming audition season so my studies slipped a bit. However I am back in full swing now and proceeding nicely. I did go to my first German Meetup two Sundays ago and survived pretty well for about an hour. I only slipped back into English a couple of times because I wanted to make myself very clear and could not do it in German. I am planning on going to my next Meetup this weekend. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The last month has been very busy for me, and truthfully this last quarter of the year is kind of crazy. I am still wokring on my German, although I have not been able to do as much as I would have liked. My spoken German is becoming more natural and flowing, although my vocabulary is still lacking. I am at around lesson 70 in Assimil but have lost some motivation to continue with it. Not that it is not working, but with time constraints I am focusing on aspects that do not take as much time out of my day.

Well, I'm in my last month of my year of German. It has been slower than anticipated;
not in the amount of progress made, but the amount of work I have put in. I'm trying for one last final push this month to see how far I can get. I move on to Spanish next month! 1 person has voted this message useful |
