Hope you get really well really soon. It is hard to do any studying when you are ill. 72 out of 100 films
sounds fabulous though, well done! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

So my do-over didn't work so well. Life continues to throw wrenches my way. Not the kind that get in the way of language learning, but the kind that gets in the way of living a nice, peaceful life. I was hoping this weekend, I would have a chance to regroup, and get things back on track, but one of my friends asked me Friday afternoon if we could take their kitty. (Her son's allergies have gone nuts since they got the kitty a month or two ago.) I love kitties, we already have two, and this little one is really adorable. So why not? I had forgotten the drama involved in kitties getting to know each other. I haven't gotten much in the way of language work done, but I had been doing pretty well keeping up with my Spanish vocab. Until last night. I guess I upgraded Anki on my phone last week, and when I tried to sync and upload my Croatian deck from my computer, something happened. Or didn't. I don't know. I spent hours last night trying to figure it out. I deleted everything but my Spanish Monster deck, uploaded, downloaded, deleted, rebooted, screamed, cried, and pulled my hair out. Two of the shared decks only downloaded one card each. I tried to download the Russian one again, and then all my decks disappeared. Any time I try to sync, it takes at least 10 minutes, even for small decks. Any time I try to sync (on either device), I get an error. Sometimes it's an error with a list of numbers, sometimes it says something about the media. I have no clue. I am frustrated. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Anki has a way of being rather frustrating sometimes but it’s also quite helpful. I hope you can find out what went wrong with the upgrade and can fix it soon. (And remember, always – always – back up your decks. I’m speaking from experience!)
Apart from that I wanted to wish you (even if I’m rather late) a great 2013. As a fellow MIR member, I’ll be following your log. Good luck with the TAC! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks, Emme.
I eventually got it working and syncing correctly from my desktop AND my phone, so that's definitely good. I ended up losing the data from my reviews, but at least I still have the cards. Most of them I didn't have enough done (maybe a week's worth) to matter that much. For my Spanish deck, it's kind of disappointing, but I'll just try to get through 50-75 cards a day for the next week. I think there were about 400 cards I had already gone through. Sucks, but at least I have it working now, and I don't have to start my deck from scratch. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm watching Merlin in Spanish, and it's really interesting to hear this vos form that I've never heard before.

I have close relatives in Uruguay and every time I visit, I realize the "vos" is not quite as widespread as one would think. However...
I doubted a bit about how much it's used around the Rio de la Plata region, so I decided to ask a relative. She said "vos" is used almost exclusively in Buenos Aires (Arg) and Montevideo (Uru), and it's use is less widespread the further you go away from those cities. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I had never heard of it. At first, I thought it was a shortened form of vosotros or something, but then I looked it up. I guess you learn new things every day. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Because of Portuguese, vos sounds so gorgeously respectful to me. ♥♥♥
