Okay, let me officially extend it then. Sorry for the delay. I'm currently on vacation in Finland ;)

(and if needed I'll clean up the member list when I'm back. go update your logs and feel free to poke your teammates to show up! also, I don't want to keep track in a language-specific way. if you've posted an update concerning any Romance language, this counts :))

Hi guys, I often watch for my pleasure videos done by a Spanish female youtuber. She
speaks about everyday topics and I like her humour. For whom is interested about this is
her channel: focusingsvlogs.

Hey guys,

I've been moving slowly but surely through Assimil Italian, and though I'm enjoying the course, it has
begun to feel a bit monotonous. While searching the archive here I rediscovered the excellent post on the
"multi-track approach" by iguanamon.

So basically I'm looking to add some native input to my learning. I've downloaded the
euronews app which gives short snippets of news stories
with a transcript. You can change between a number of languages, so I'll probably listen quickly to a few
stories in English/French/German before switching to Italian and looking up unknown words.

Now, I'd like to incorporate little nuggets of random text into my learning à la Twitter. I've never used the
site before, but I seem to remember emk using it to create a flow of interesting French content to view
everyday.

So, if you know of any interesting accounts that might be fun to follow, why not suggest them here?
Politics, culture, sport, music, comedy, haikus etc. Of course, there's no need to stop at Italian ;)

Most of the accounts I follow on Twitter are US/UK based, but I have a couple suggestions. The first one is Italian's comedian Maurizio Crozza @CrozzaTweet and the second one is Alberto Angela, a TV presenter of historical programs for the RAI channels. Also, most newspapers now have a Twitter account, like @Corriereit for "Il Corriere della Sera" or @repubblicait for "la Repubblica".

Hello everyone.
I am currently working my way through Assimil and have borrowed a grammar book to look
up the things that Assimil doesn't explain very well. My question is, what do you
suggest doing once one has finished Assimil? Reading books/watching tv of course, but
are there courses that can help you advance any further?


Ciao a tutti
Faccio settimanale assimil e ho trovate un grammatica della langua Italiano per
cercare dei' spiegazioni che Assimil non spiega bene. La mia domanda è; mi povete dire
dove trovo un corso che mi può aiuta, quando ho finito con Assimil?
Io so che devo leggere dei libri e guardare dei film, ma ho voglia di trovare un
corso.

Che cosa pensate?

Oh by the way I see that you are learning Danish! How goes that? :)

I replied in my log btw :)

As for Assimil, obviously this depends on which level you reach at the end and how much you retain. I really like the radio arlecchino podcast, for example. The perCORSO guidato books I recommended also have exercises/comprehension tests. If you want to improve your writing (and indirectly speaking), you can also write your own texts on lang-8 and get corrections (emk did a personal lang-8 challenge where he wrote every day for a month). If you want to improve your speaking, you can shadow Assimil. For comprehension you just need to listen and read, maybe with additional tools like parallel texts, popup dictionaries, subs2srs or other techniques. Really the techniques matter much more than the specific resources you use.

Also, lyricstraining is available for Italian :)
