So I haven't updated in a few days and a lot has definitely happened since. I finally completed all III Pimsleur levels of German. I was very sad :[. Without this program my level of German wouldn't be at the level it currently is. It has helped me a lot through out my first semester, and because of it I have gotten nothing but A's on my exams. Thanks Dr Pimsleur!
Well I know there is a German Plus but I hear its not very good. I will still give it a try. German: Studied for the test before class: 1 hour 30 min Completed Pimsleur German III 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30: 3 hours 30 min German Class: Had another test and we are learning about two way prepositions in this new chapter. It is very long!: 2 hours 30 min German Lab: I did my homework for Wednesday with another classmate: 1 hour Total: 8 hours 30 min Russian: Did a ton more exercises from my Russian grammar book: 3 hours Did my Russian homework: 1 hour Met with the Russian tutor for the first time. She was away for a while so that's why we just met. We went through my Russian book and she had me translate sentences from Russian to English and the other way around. We also read a conversation together and she made me translate the whole thing after wards. She seemed fairly impressed with my knowledge of the Russian language, but I must say I still need to do more studying before I can consider myself advanced. Perhaps advanced beginner ;): 1 hour 15 min Russian class: I got my midterm back and I got 100%. It was basic stuff so not much to be excited about. A few people did their presentations (which took up most of the class time, and then we did some oral stuff): 2 hours 30 min Total: 7 hours 45 min 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You are incredibly motivated. What level is your German class, by the way. Sounds like 102 or something?
You might see if there is a Stammtisch that your college organizes where you can meet and speak with native speakers. Edited by Liface on 20 November 2008 at 2:49am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Its hard to stay motivated, but I try! :]. I started learning German around mid August. So the class I am taking right now is just the beginner class. Our class is going rather fast though. We learned more in my German class so far in this semester than what we learned in my first semester of French last year. There are a few students in the class who grew up speaking German so they help us beginners whenever we ask for it. We also meet up at least 3 times a week outside of class to study. So that helps a lot. How about you? How long have you been studying German? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
