I started to watch Dr. House in German. I have the first 5 seasons.

I also thinking about how to continue my languagestudy. I think I need a plan, more structure. I don't like plans, but I think I have to follow some sort of a plan:-)

It sounds as though you're doing the right thing, at some point language learning materials can't really teach you stuff any longer.

Exposure and grammar books can only help you from that point on. Don't know how far you are though :p.

Haven't done much studying last week. Been occupied with other thing.

I have also been thinking about how to study for the rest of the year.

German
Need more practising speaking German. So I will shadowing the Assimil German With Ease.
Need more grammar knowlegde.
Maybe some more LR.
Luckily I have a Skype-partner wich I speak German with once a week.
Watching tv (3SAT) and movies.
Also thinking about having online lesson with a German teacher. Not sure yet.

French
A last I have started up with Assimil French With Ease.
Here I will follow mostly Assimil's method.
I also have French Using French.
Watching TV (TV 5 Monde Europe), luckily they often have English or French subtitles. Which I can turn on or off. I like that.
And also watching movies.

Vietnamese
Starting up with the tutor again next week.
Learning South Vietnamese dialect.
I need a tutor because of the pronunciation and there are not much resources out there.
After all I'm a newbie in languagelearning.

Had I chosen North Vietnamese dialect I probably done Assmil Vietnamese course first.

NEW! Greek
Damn that wanderlust! :-)
Inspired be the Assimil Challenge I have now decided to try to learn some Greek.
However I will not participate in the Assmil Chalenge since I'm starting now. And also because I'm only doing it "parttime". Meaning I don't have a goal to do 1 lesson a day.

I will be using Assimil Griechisch ohne Mühe with mp3-files from
Assmil Le nouveau Grec sans peine :-)
Yes, they are the same.
