This week was pretty awful language-wise, with one notable exception.
My Spanish consisted of finishing Chapter 6 of La Ciudad de las Bestias, reading Chapter 7, and starting Chapter 8. I'm on page 118 now - only 283 pages left! I also did 45 minutes of flashcards. That's it. It was a pathetic week. For Latin, I started Chapter 22 of Wheelock's, which is about passive voice. For Polish, I did a little bit of vocabulary (40 minutes, I think) and did some flashcards. Oh, and then the big news - I FINISHED PAN TADEUSZ!!!!!!!!!! Now I have read six books in Polish!!!!!!!!!! Next I am going to read Stara baśń , since my Polish teacher really likes that book and really wants me to read it. I can't wait!!! :) I used a lot of exclamation points in that last paragraph, but I am very excited about having finished Pan Tadeusz at last. It took me about 6 months to read! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks for the support, Vos and Serpent! I am very excited about finishing "Pan Tadeusz"! :)
Gosiak, dziękuję za link! Na pewno mi się przydaje. Cieszę się słyszeć, że Ty też uważasz "Starą baśń" za dobrą książkę. Już przeczytałam kilka stron i wydaje mi się bardzo interesujące. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well, it has been way too long since I posted. I have been really busy, but at least I have been getting my
studying done. Polish I started to read "Stara baśń" - so far I like it a lot. The style kind of reminds me of that of James Fennimore Cooper's books, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but oh well. I finished my essay on Telimena and Zosia. The final word count is 1,850! Wow! Hopefully my Polish improved a lot through writing it. I have met with my Polish tutor a couple of times and we had some good conversations. She corrected my essay for me (it's nice to have a tutor who is a schoolteacher) and my grammar wasn't that bad. It still needs some work, though. I also read more poems. Spanish I read another chapter of La Ciudad de las Bestias. I looked up lots and lots of new words. I studied grammar less than I should have, but I did study it some and "por" and "para" are really making sense to me now! (I just cringe every so often thinking of all the idiotic mistakes I have made with those two prepositions in the past!) I watched some news videos and listened to other Spanish materials. I need to write an essay, and for lack of a better topic, I am going to write about my intense dislike for my cat. It's going to be about 200 words long, so I'll post it when I write it (which will hopefully be soon). Latin I finished Chapter 22 of Wheelock's and started Chapter 23. Chapter 23 is all about participles! I cannot convey how excited I was to finally learn participles in Latin (just picture me running around babbling about the wonders of Latin grammar to everyone I met). 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Hi!
I've finally started learning Polish as well! Loving it more and more. ♥ I've got a huge advantage as a native speaker of Russian with some knowledge of Belarusian and Ukrainian, so for now I'm just listening-reading with both in L2. I'm hopefully going to Poland in early May and I'm going to do a lot of shadowing, starting from next week. Thought I'd let you know that we now have a consistency thread. you don't have to update daily or even weekly:) 1 person has voted this message useful |
