I Started out planning to study Russian but I decided that I need to know more about it
after reading some of the post made by Aya at learnlangs.com So I decided to study German. which is a language that I am familiar with but I have not studied it intensely maybe like a month. I understand the pronunciation and spelling, which I think is important before one starts to L-R. I am also thinking of extended the trial to maybe 10 days instead of 7 Edited by destinos on 30 January 2014 at 12:14am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

No But I am a fast reader so I will dedicate two days to reading at least the fellowship
of the rings while I look up small things about Russian. It seems that there are no interlinear text available for Lord of the Rings. And in the method she suggested learning about the language if there are no interlinear files available. http://learnlangs.com/Listening-Reading_important_passages.h tm#_Toc346179146 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm a fast reader and it took me more than two days to read The Fellowship Of The Rings in my native English. I wish you the best. Tomás 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ok so things have changed a bit. I decided that russian is to hard at the moment so I
went back to German. Now I still have not a lot of experience in German but´I know the basics. I studied it for a month prior. So my German is at the state where I know pronunciation and I can pick out a good amount of words (300) or guess. I know I switch between languages alot but I am ready to settle with German though I need to learn russian for work. Ok so Day One. Time Read: 4hr Time with German:0 Ok so there is not much that I did yesterday but that was mainly because once I came home from classes there was a snow storm here which usually would mean great study time write. well no because my small sister was here as well so that means she wants me to play in the snow with her. Then when I finally get to study I decided that Russian wont work for me. So I had to find text in German. I also noticed the love wasn't there for LOTR because it seemed like a chore. So I decided to use Sherlock Holmes. What a great decision I love crime mysteries and Sherlock does it best so it felt fun. The problem was finding a complete "hörbuch" though I am glad gutenberg has both of the text. So if anzone has suggestions on what is next I am open or if anyone would like to give advice.

It wasn't clear from your post whether you found the audiobook you were seeking or not. FYI, here are
two free audiobooks of Sherlock Holmes stories in German: Späte Rache Das Zeichen der Vier Also, there are numerous free German audiobooks (but no Sherlock Holmes, at present) here. Edited by geoffw on 29 January 2014 at 4:48pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

oh sorry I did they are on youtube but it is not complete it is chapter by chapter with
different readers and sometimes the reading is kind of weird so I have to adjust to them. which kills the vibe. 1 person has voted this message useful |
