*cue start of Public Service Announcement*
I recently stumbled upon a big collection of resources (videos, transcripts, learning plans) from Five Colleges (Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst) that was just too good to keep in relative anonymity in my log or the "Links and Resources" sub-forum. I think that the links could be handy for any of you want some practice with L-R or to see and hear the language as used in basic situations (certainly more focused than looking on YouTube) For your purposes, here are the links to the material in Russian. The links to "CultureTalk" in various Central Asian countries contains a varying number of interviews in Russian. The interviews about Kyrgyzstan are dominated by Russian-speakers, while other countries have a roughly even distribution of Russian and the associated ancestral language (e.g. Kazakhstan) or only a few interviews in Russian (or English) and many in the ancestral language (e.g. Azerbaijan). *cue end of Public Service Announcement* 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks again, aloysius for you great charts!
- Woodsei keeps up her amazing run, and is by now unbeatable (unless someone decides to study languages in stead of sleeping for the next week :-) Fantastic, Woodsei! - drsarvo has worked dilligently, and is this week the second of team Sputnik and the first of those who are doing Russian for the 6WC. (well done drsavo!) - 8 of us are so dedicated that we find ourselves among the 5 best of our group in one category or another - we still have team Sputnik members as number 1 and 2 in the competition - we have 3 of the 5 best - we have 5 of the 20 best - we have 7 among the 40 best In short, we continue being the absolutely most amazing, ass-kicking, hard studying team on the HTLAL forum, and are going into the last week with the aim to kill all previous records and annihilate all bad study habits and all competition!

Well done everyone - incredible effort! And with just 4-5 days left now...let's really whip ourselves into a frenzy over this last furlong and finish in style. :)

Open question:
How can you possibly tell how many words of the foreign language you are studying, you already know? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Take graded readers targeted at audiences with X, Y, Z words in their vocabulary, count how many words you miss and see if the results are consistent. 1 person has voted this message useful |
