Russian:
Did half of Unit 7 of my Grammar book. Total: 1 hour 30 min Okay so I am actually considering dropping French for now and actually study Spanish. While I do speak it fluently and understand it very well. I believe it is essential for me to do a thorough study of Spanish to truly grasp how the language works. I feel it is also important for me to be able to write it perfectly and start reading books in Spanish. I really hate to do this but I know that if I get a better feel for Spanish grammar, vocab, etc, that it will help me later on when I pick up French again (also if I decide to pick up more Romance languages). Sorry French...I still love you and I am waiting anxiously till we meet again..soon :'( Spanish: Completed 3 exercises on my Spanish grammar book Total: 1 hour Edited by Crassyo on 23 October 2008 at 12:41pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

German:
Met up at Peet's coffee with 3 other buddies from my German class. We completed 1 part of our homework together and after an hour and a half we took a break. An hour later only two of us re-met and studied German some more. We agreed to speak ONLY in German for 30 minutes and try to keep a conversation going. Although we were there for 3 hours we did spend a good portion going off topic and having a good time. Which is good because you definitely need to take a break so it doesn't become boring. So I believe we spent a total of 2 hours doing German (+ 1 hr 30 from earlier) Total: 3 hours 30 min Italian: Completed Michel Thomas Italian CD 6: 1 hour Watched the first part (out of four) of an Italian movie 'La Meglio gioventù'. Pretty interesting movie: 1 hour 30 min Total: 2 hours 30 min 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well seeing as it is Friday now and I probably wont have time to do the weekly update since I am closing tomorrow. I will do that now. Let's see how I did this week...im getting the feeling that it is not going to be so great..
French: +0 (decided to hold off on French for now) Russian: +12 hours German: + 23 hours (WOW!) Italian: + 8 hours 30 min Spanish: + 1 hour = Russian:--132 Hours 00 min French:---121 Hours 40 min (Not actively studying) German:--117 Hours 30 min Italian:-----32 Hours 30 min Ukrainian:---5 Hours (Not actively studying) Mandarin:---3 Hours (Not actively studying) Spanish:----2 hours (Already fluent; brushing up on grammar, reading, and practicing writing) Croatian:---1 Hour (Not actively studying) Latin:-------1 Hour (Not actively studying) Okay not as bad as I thought. I figured since I didn't do much for the first 2 days of the week that I feel behind but I did do a lot for German not only that but eliminating French (for now) has allowed me to contribute time elsewhere. This week I felt like I accomplished a lot in Russian. I'm glad because for a month now I felt I was falling behind. On Monday I start meeting with the Russian tutor at my school so that will be a good hour spent on practicing :)...she is also a German tutor so even better! Goals for 10/17/08-10/23/08 French: -Do 7 hours this time No longer studying -Practice the 'Passe Compose' and the 'Imperfait' No longer studying Russian: -Watch a Russian movie Failed -Study the Accusative case in depth. (Noun endings, adjective endings, + pronoun changes)Completed (meant to put prepositional case not accusative) German: -Watch a German movie Failed -Complete 5 Pimsleur Units Completed -Do 3 Assimil German lessons Completed( Didn't post this but while in the lab 10/22/08 I did 6 Assimil lessons) Italian: -Do 3 Units from my Italian book "Italian Now!" Failed -Do 4 Units from Pimsleur Italian Completed -Watch an Italian movie Completed 5/8 Completed. Not so good again! Goals for 10/24/08-10/30/08 Russian: -Do at least two more units from my Russian grammar book -Learn 10 new Russian words -Write back to my friend in Russian German: -Watch a German movie -Study for the test -Complete Pimsleur German II Italian: -Do 5 Pimsleur Italian II lessons -Watch the 2nd part of "La Meglio Gioventu" Spanish: -Find a book in Spanish and begin reading it -Complete 3 Exercises from my Spanish grammar book Edited by Crassyo on 24 October 2008 at 3:03am 1 person has voted this message useful | |
