I agree with the original poster. While I'm in the first stage of a language I study it
with little purposeful input in other languages. So I guess it is the same thing. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I have always found if I assign time to study a particular language (at the moment German & Hungarian), I will either do the opposite or NEITHER.
Too much structure seems to leave me dreading study. The way I have been operating is to structure everything else in my life (as in jobs I need to do, etc) and then leaving as much 'free' time as I can and using that to study IF I WANT. To be honest, on a normal week there is not a day that goes by that I don't work on at least one of the languages (unless I'm super busy and unable to do anything on the run). I try to make sure that I touch each language at least once every 2 days. Sometimes I prefer to devote an entire day to one language and then the next day the other language... other times I might do some German in the morning and some Hungarian at night - and others, I mix it around constantly... Admittedly, whilst I have been sick in the last week, there has been very little study going on in EITHER language - but I'm improving healthwise now, so things should go back to normal soon. It's one thing to structure your learning because it makes sense, but if it doesn't suit your personality and you don't WANT to study something you've structured, I'm a believer that you shouldn't push yourself to do it. All that will result is that you will dread it and start to resent your studies. BTW, one thing I did do to get past this (as studying the grammar etc is important), was that I had a tutor once a week. I let her focus on grammar and all of the essential stuff that I wasn't really motivated to do on my own. Not only did it mean I got a good dose of it every week, but it also meant that she could explain it in much easier terms for me than the books! :) 2 persons have voted this message useful |
