Hello everyone and welcome to my journal!
Some may know me when I learned Hungarian and that I disappeared one and half year :). So a little presentation is in order:
I'm a 23 years old girl, studying in German and in French, hopefully graduating next summer with a Bachelor degree. I also work as an interpreter part-time and as a librarian in a language library.
I speak French, German, English, Hungarian (A2), Serbocroatian (A1) and I am willing to try to learn Italian for the autumn semester.
I won't go to any courses, only speaking with friends and studying on my own and helf a journal of my progress, here :).
Cheers
Kisfroccs

Hello! I'm also starting Italian. A podcast I really like is "Let's Speak Italian!" where the speaker gives a break-down
of various grammatical components. It's free on iTunes.
A random question, but how different are German and Swiss-German from each other?
Have fun studying!

Hello everyone!
I started my job at the language library of my university and it's really convenient for me because not a lot of people come and I can dedicace my time to studying, or studying languages.
The best part is that I'm allowed to use any sources, and the library is packed with language courses, magazines, dictionary, grammar books etc :). Shelves and shelves of books in Italian, Spanish, English, French and German, and, of course, a lot of other courses.
Currently, I'm using two books:
Pratique de la grammaire italienne, avec rappels de cours et exercices corrigés, Marina Marietti
Pratique du thème italien, Marina Marietti, Emmanuelle Genevois
and the
Adesso magazine.
@Xenops Swiss-german is a dialect, and often German don't understand it.
More informations
German: Guten Tag
Swiss-german: Grüezi
German: Ich kann dich schon mitnehmen.
Swiss-German: I cha di scho mitnäh.
German: Ich möchte gerne ein Brötchen.
Swiss-German: I händt gärn es Weckli.
Cheers

Hi Kisfröccs
Good to see you back at the forum. :)
How's your Hungarian these days? I see that you evaluate it at A2, does that mean it's gotten a bit rusty?
I still study it and have recently started studying even more on memrise. It's still my favourite language.
Sounds like you've got a great job for a language geek.
So how have the last year and a half been for you with your languages?
Hribecek
