Here begins (officially) my 2015 French language learning log.
My goal in 2014 was to make it to C1 which meant I'd have to stop procrastinating and get my act together. I certainly stopped procrastinating 98% of the time, but wow did I underestimate the work required to get to C1! I estimated my level at the start of 2014 as B1, and I managed to officially proven/recognised by passing a B1 exam proving so. But I didn't go beyond B1. However, it did certainly prove to be a very studious year in which I my goals were revised given that I wanted to predominantly make my way through a bunch of the very numerous courses I own in French with an aim to eventually make it to C1/C2 some day in the distant future... ------------------------------------------- My goals for French for 2015: Be consistent in learning French throughout the year (don't procrastinate/waste time) Continue making my way through my French courses as my main method of study Sit a B2 exam at the Alliance Française CURRENT MATERIALS Pimsleur French IV (audio only course) Rocket French Premium Plus (audio only course) Assimil New French with Ease (currently leçon 81) French in Action (currently leçon 10) Fluenz French (currently level 3, leçon 20) I have a massive amount of French courses. I will provide a list of the courses I have completed as I complete each one and add to that list. I'm also participating in the Super Challenge in French. My aim was to do a double SC but that's not going to happen. SC activities for 2015 will not be so regular for me as they will basically be 'fillers' used when i'm wanting to watch something or when i'm wanting to read a little of a book here and there. Meaning my main study time will not be taken up by SC activities as they did from time to time in 2014. My main aim is to progress further through the courses. I enjoy this method and it seems to keep me motivated lately. Edit: 2014 I was on French 2ème (the second French team). 2015 I will be on the one French team. I'll be co-leading the team with Jeffers with some assistance possibly provided by luke and Mohave. Jeffers has taken the reigns so far as I've been a little tied up with visiting family. Thanks again Jeffers! Edited by PeterMollenburg on 06 January 2015 at 1:56am 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Just a brief update...
The flashcards wars had reared its ugly head again. A battle has flared up on the distant south coast... bla bla... I'm having 'issues' again. So this time I thought well really short on time i'd just go over some of the Pimsleur IV lessons and Rocket French Premium Plus and type in some new words to my flashcard deck including example sentences. I'm running into the same trouble that I was having a while back - it takes too damn long! I type them in fast, but I look for examples in my dictionaries and copy and paste them but it still just takes a long time. My problem with French is I am SUPER ANALYTICAL. On the plus side that means my accent and tone is excellent, on the down side - has anyone else ever studied well over 1000hrs and not yet passed a B2 exam? I know I know I asked for this, just sharing guys, not necessarily requiring a solution here, just a little update is all. Peace up, get your face on, for realz 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Given the stupid realization again that I have a seemingly unsurmountable number of
courses to get through and I'm plodding along as slow as an over analytical snail with 7 broken legs, I decided to change the name of my log to reflect my hesitant adventure, which I know many find rediculous (prob because it is) and i'm banging my head against a (softish) brick wall trying to prove (mainly to myself) otherwise - frankly I just find this really motivation - trying to get through all these courses. After adding Assimil's French Without Toil to my list I am now officially refusing to add any more courses to my collection until (if this ever happens) I complete them all... ahahahaha ahahahaha... (evil insane laugh). I have previously compiled this list, but given the new year, my desire for attention (should've been an actor), and the fact that i'm probably crazy... here it is: List of completed French courses to date: Usborne First Thousand Words in French Usborne French Dictionary for Beginners Michel Thomas Total French Michel Thomas Perfect French Michel Thomas Masterclass French Pimsleur French I Fluenz French 1 Pimsleur French II French all talk - Linguaphone Learn French with Paul Noble Rocket French Premium Fluenz French 2 Hugo French in 3 Months Mastering French 1 (FSI units 1 to 6) Pimsleur French III Colloquial French Living Language Essential French Current French courses being used Rocket French Premium Plus Pimsleur French IV French in Action Fluenz French 3 Assimil New French with Ease French courses yet to be started Bien dire: Guide de prononciation FSI French Phonology FSI Basic French Course Bien-dire: Bon appetit (A2-B1) FSI Metropolitan French Rocket French Platinum Bien-dire: French Expressions (B1-B2) Tell me More (French) (levels 1-10) Teach Yourself Get Started in French Teach Yourself Complete French French Learn Easy Way by Jacques Boucher Living Language 2 Teach Yourself Perfect Your French French Vocabulary Lists Fluenz French 4 Living Language 3 La prononciation francaise pour de vrai Mastering French 2 (FSI units 7 to 12) Production ecrite B1/B2 Assimil French Without Toil Conversational French 20 Lessons Cortina Method Hugo French Advanced FSI units 13-18 FSI Le monde Francophone (more of a read than course) Bien dire: C'est la vie en France (b2-c1) Preparation a l'examen du DELF B2 Reussir le DELF B2 Activites pour le CECR niveau B2 M Durand's Words, Phrases, and Sentences Tell me More Business French FSI units 19 to 24 Barron's Mastering French Vocabulary Assimil Business French Bien-dire: Conversations entre amis (C1-C2) Ultimate French Review and Practise Ultimate French Verb Review and Practise Street French 1 Street French 2 French Verb Mastery Practice makes Perfect Advanced French Grammar Vis-a-vis FSI Sub-Saharan French Production ecrite niveaux C1/C2 Reussir le DALF C1 et C2 ahahahahahaaaa ahahahahaaaa 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I always knew you were crazy, and now your thread title proves it. If it's written on the internet you know you can trust it because the internet was invented by Al Gore.
Since you are such a steady worker, it might help you to put in brackets an estimate of the number of study sessions you think each course will take you (based on past experience with similar courses). Edited by Jeffers on 14 January 2015 at 8:41am 3 persons have voted this message useful |
