Progress is slow but steady.
Dutch: Assimil lesson 27 Online course ella.eu: Vocabulary level A1: 5 lessons / Grammar: finished 3 parts out of 42 Esperanto: Assimil lesson 43 Lernu.net: Introduction 100% - Courses 12% - Learning 3% - Biblioteko 2% I'll be leaving for holidays tomorrow and still haven't decided whether I will take my Assimil Dutch with me or rather some good literature to read on the plane, bus and ferry. Hm, maybe both. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It has been 2 weeks since I last updated this log. I was on holiday for most of that time in Riga, Tallinn and Helsinki, really beautiful places where I had the opportunity to listen to Latvian, Estonian and Finnish, languages I do not know much about, but that sound quite interesting. I also heard a lot of Russian spoken and was glad to realize that I still understand some of it. I took my Assimil Dutch with me, but did not study that much. I have made it to lesson 31 so far.
I also watched a movie in Italian and understood almost everything, which is rather encouraging. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It was a good week for Dutch. I went to Belgium (Bruges and Blankenberge) for the weekend and I felt that I have really made some progress. My vocabulary has definitely increased and I can understand people much better than before. We took a boat tour on the canals in Bruges (highly recommended) and I could understand almost everything the guide said in Dutch. I picked up a newspaper and managed to understand quite a lot, not every word, but I got the meaning.
I have made it to Assimil Dutch lesson 44, that's more than halfway through the book. I'm feeling very motivated to learn Dutch right now, but I have a terribly busy week ahead of me, so my progress will certainly slow down again. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's been over 8 months since I last wrote in this log. Work and other things got in the way and I haven't been able to do quite as much language learning as I would have liked during the last months and I haven't been able to do all I planned for 2009. Time is still lacking (it always is), but motivation is high again, so I hope to make some real progress in 2010.
My current number 1 priority is Italian. I am planning to sit the CELI 2 (B1) in June and the CELI 3 (B2) in November. I had already gone through the whole Assimil book a few years ago and I am now reviewing it completely. I am currently at lesson 70. I plan to focus entirely on Italian until the exam. Until then, I plan to finish the Assimil book, go through the book Come prepararsi all'esame del CELI 2, work through a grammar book and a vocabulary book, watch Italian TV as often as possible and read some books in Italian. I will also spend a few days in Italy (Bologna, Firenze and Pisa) in May. I had planned to sit the Certificaat Nederlands als Vreemde Taal at level B1 in 2010, but it seems that it won't be offered this year where I live, so I will have to leave that for later. I am quite happy with the progress I made with Dutch in 2009, I got to lesson 66 in Assimil. I have put it aside for now to focus on Italian, but will continue with Dutch in the Summer and hopefully I will be able to register for an official exam next year. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Indrukwekkend jouw plannen! Ik ben eigenlijk ook een examensfreak, maar de Franse DELF- examens voor volwassenen worden bij mij in de buurt slechts één keer per jaar aangeboden en ik heb ook de financiele middelen niet meer. Veel succes met de examensvoorbereidingen! Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Progress made this week:
Assimil Italian: lesson 75 I started working through a French-Italian phrasebook called 'Guide pratique de conversation: italien" to learn some useful phrases and vocabulary. I am on page 40 so far. I have also watched Italian TV various times this week and I have the impression that my listening comprehension is improving a bit, albeit slowly. 1 person has voted this message useful |
