I'm currently trying to teach myself French and Russian. Some days though I have some extra time I want to
devote to study as opposed to the typical 1 hour or so, but I'm not sure what else to do. French I have more options since I'm a bit farther along in that. I could do an Assimil active and passive lesson, maybe a couple pages from a grammar book, and then French in Action. Beyond that I'm not far enough to watch movies or read French books. As for Russian, I have a good beginning duo of Assimil and New Penguin Russian, but what would I do with more time? 1 lesson and a chapter or so of New Penguin doesn't take much more than an hour if that. And I really don't know enough russian to do any native material yet. Should I just stick with those 2 and not devote any more time to Russian per day at this point until I have a better command of grammar and larger vocabulary? Just curious what you all do if you want to devote more daily study to your languages. Edited by Jase27 on 13 December 2014 at 7:41pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Listen-Read and watching subtitled movies are the classic extensive techniques that don't require a very high level. L/R is arguably more effective, but materials can be hard to track down.

I'd do an hour of active studying every morning (FSI/Assimil/etc) followed by a lot of L-R with a really good/easy book or reading a good book with a parallel text.
