Thanks Bakunin, that's really helpful. I have started to use the Chinese Grammar Wiki to either learn constructions I
am hearing but don't yet understand, or just browse and look for things that I don't yet know. It's much easier than working through a text book, and I think it hits the middle ground that you are talking about. This week has not been great for Chinese. My son was a bit sick and so I am quite tired and just didn't really have the motivation to study. However, I did watch 2 more episodes of 男人帮 so that's some input at least. That also means that I have completed the March challenge for the Chinese team which is encouraging too. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

6/4/2014 - not a lot to report this week. Added quite a few new words to my MCB deck, along with the audio
which I got from Rhinospike. Spent some time looking around on the Chinese Grammar Wiki which I find really helpful. Also learnt added some new Khmer words from an economic lexicon to my Khmer anki deck which is cool. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

27/4/2014 - nice to see the forum is back up and running! All in all this month has been terrible for languages!
Not had a lot of motivation because it has been insanely hot here, and I have also been very busy. I have another busy month coming up, but hopefully after that I will have some more time for language. Unfortunately language is the first thing which has to go when I get busy! Anyway, I will just try and keep on pressing on with anki, and trying to watch Chinese TV if I have the time 1 person has voted this message useful | |

3/5/2014 - I am starting to try and get back on track now (or at least I have been today)! I am fed up of my Anki
vocab deck as I don't have sentences and I find it really tedious, so I have decided to scrap it. What I am in the process of doing is going through and taking out any words I want to keep, finding a sentence for context from Tatoeba or Jukuu, then putting that through Rhinospike to get the audio, and then putting that into my MCB deck. That way my deck is more manageable size-wise, and the words have context and audio to go with them. I learnt some new vocabulary for both Khmer and Chinese today, and I have started to do my word lists for Chinese in a bigger book, which allows me to go over them for 3 days instead of just 2, hopefully helping my retention. Then of course I will put those into my Anki deck. Tonight I am going to watch some more 男人帮 with my wife - we are currently on episode 27. I have also been having a look at 好好说！慢慢讲！which looks quite interesting, especially because it also has English subtitles mixed in there! Aside from that there isn't much to report, just continuing to push on as and when I can! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

11/5/2014 - Been a pretty good week. Learnt some new vocab and am continuing to build my anki deck.
Unfortunately RhinoSpike now requires credits to download audio, so I am just inputting sentences without audio. This actually is less time consuming so if probably a good thing. Finished the series of 男人帮 now, so I am going to look for something new to start watching. Started watching some of 好好说！慢慢讲！and found it quite good, so might continue with that for now. Also managed to do a bit more on my Khmer book this week which was cool. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

31/5/2014 - been an ok couple weeks. Not so great for Chinese, although I have learnt some new vocabulary and I
am going to start using my Lexicarry book this evening. My MCB deck is increasing in size slowly but surely. I have managed to get some more done on my Khmer book and hopefully will have some time to continue hitting it hard over the next few weeks. Chinese will probably take a bit of a back seat while I focus on the Khmer book. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

15/6/2014 - As I suspected my Chinese has taken the back seat. I have done Anki, learnt a bit of new vocab and
spent a bit of time doing Lexicarry, which I actually find really fun. I am also watching various Chinese cartoons on Youtube, and understanding bits and pieces. Although I am a little disappointed that I haven't been able to spend as much time on Chinese as I wanted, I am excited at how the Khmer book is going. I have now finished chapter 10 and am getting started on chapter 11 today. There will be 14 chapters total, plus a guide to reading and writing and numbers. So far audio has been recorded with native speakers for the reading/writing, numbers and chapters 1-5, and when I have finished chapter 14 we will do the remaining audio, and also go back and do some editing for a couple of things that I have edited (extra vocab etc.). All in all I am really enjoying doing this book, and can't wait to get an initial copy out there and get some feedback! 1 person has voted this message useful |
