I'm here, though I appear to have taken an unplanned 4 month language break. A
combination of being busy at work and spending most of my spare time on other hobbies led to my active language study being all but abandoned. I've continued passive activities (TV, music, etc.) as normal in both Korean and Japanese (Spanish is still on hiatus), but nothing I'd call active study during that time. I see the board has been having issues again during my absence and wish I could say I were surprised. I just registered on what I assume is the site everyone here is referencing (forum.language-learners.org, which is where how-to-learn-any-language.org redirects). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Good to see you back, Warp3. I was away the last month too; new job, lots of studying.
Didn't know the site had issues again. Three members have moved over there (Nieng Zhonghan, TheRealCZ, and stifa, because of these issues, so if you want to know where they are, they're over there. And really, I think with the frequency of this outages, it's about time I start a log there myself, as I don't know how things will turn out. Misskj, I totally get what you're trying to say. I'm not having difficulty coming up with things to say, or actually producing Japanese; it's more like, I'm very shy about initiating a conversation, and my mind goes blank. I have been practicing just talking about my day to myself daily. I try to talk about new people I meet, how I feel about things, summarizing the entire day, certain events, or past events, and plans for the future. Very basic, but I'm gradually stringing longer and more complex sentences. For instance, if I try to convey a thought, I start of with a very basic, basic sentence, then I gradually try to add to its level of complexity (add one adjective, then two, turn it from active to passive, past to present to future, or any combination of these, make it into a clause, etc.) and keep saying it until it starts feeling and sounding comfortable. And of course, my penpal gives me pointers every now and then (still got to actually get on Skype and talk, email works fine for now). It's helping a lot. Anyway, off to work on that other log at the .org forum. Will keep you updated. 1 person has voted this message useful |
