Hey Tristano! I love reading through your ever-rotating roster of studies.
Quick question for clarity - do you still consider yourself an active member of Team Dutch? Or would you like to be put on a kind of "retired soldiers" list in the team thread? :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hi!
Well, good question :) Actually, by studying English, French and Afrikaans I'm kinda still studying Dutch ;) But I'm not for now studying actively Dutch anymore and it is difficult to me in this moment to follow the Dutch team and its members... There is an option "soldiers in holidays?" :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

You can be an observer :)

What does an observer exactly?
(I just discovered that the afrikaans deck that I'm approaching is actually 5200 cards also reversed for a total of 10400, when I finished I guess I knew a lot about the language heheh) Edited by tristano on 01 March 2014 at 10:28am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It's pretty much a "soldier on holidays", though it's best if you can read your teammates' logs and comment sometimes.

Ok, if I write notes about everything I study I will never finish :D
Anyway, most of the rules that I learned since now about English grammar don't even resemble to be rules :) The major part of my doubts are about the verb system and other are more about how much vs how many, where to use at, to, from, by, in, into, the since vs for, any vs every, small things but still things that I can fix. I use them correctly most of the times but still I'm never sure because I never studied the grammar properly. After, the huge stream of nouns and adjective without any preposition of any genre, feature that is typical of English and I never saw in any other language since now. To finish, more advanced stuff that I don't even know to not knowing. I'll never finish for this iteration, however I have different plans for the next. I can start another language, maybe one between norwegian and esperanto. Or I can dedicate the whole month to French to accumulate a great amount of hours to go to the next level and use the free language slot to study specifically grammar. That would make definitely sense but it is too much reasonable and therefore the risk is to go into boredom... Maybe I can do something really stupid like studying Catalan (nothing against the language, just risky if I'm studying French) :P 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I change too fast.
I started to study German that is a target language to me so I have to refine my goals in this laboratory section. Point number 1: I will not study scripts until I will start to work with the language that it's using it. For the moment I wait with Devanagari until I start studying Bengali. Point number 2: I stop studying Afrikaans vocabulary since I don't want it interferes with German. What is happening now: I lost very soon the motivation in studying English grammar, so I can organize myself to do it in a scheduled way with an extablished planning. Right now I have the urgency to study French grammar for the test of this month to pass to B1 course. What will I do for the next iteration: I want to start Latin, but I'm quite sure that doing Esperanto before can be beneficial for it. In my opinion Latin is the key to learn cases and Esperanto can be also a good support: now since I started German understand the cases is absolutely mandatory; after I can commit myself to more challenging languages like Icelandic for example. It would be nice to study Old English after Latin. Let's see :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
