If you find good Hebrew music, could you post your suggestions here? I'm not going to start learning Hebrew just yet (aiming for March) but I would like to already get some exposure to it.
Good luck with you studies! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yeah, no problem Mieke. I know something about Israeli music, and when I have time (and am sufficiently caffeinated) I'll write a post about it.
I've decided that I've reached basic fluency in Hebrew. I'm a real perfectionist, so I don't like to say that I can speak a language until I can communicate in it as well as English, but that is why there are different stages of fluency. This year is about going from basic fluency to native fluency. How am I going to do that? Well it's going to be an adventure. I'm going to have to do something besides SRSing for awhile. I'm left without a computer, therefore I can't install anki and rebuild my sentences right now. So I'm focusing on engaging with the language every day for as long as possible and finding creative new ways to reclaim time and increase efficiency. Besides, I've found that adding Hebrew to whatever other activity I'm doing makes it more enjoyable. Hebrew=fun. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Wanderlust has struck me in a big way. I'm falling in love with the Georgian language. I always thought that Hebrew was difficult to learn because it is sometimes difficult to find materials. Georgian is even more rare. I was unable to find any programs on itunes except for the Christian bible. I did find a couple of websites, which I'm storing here for safe keeping.
Georgian Radio Mlibrary: some books in Russian, Georgian and English Website of Illustrator/Author links include children's books in Italian, English, Russian, and Georgian. funkygeorgian.com georgian language distance course I'm also in luck because apparently there are a lot of "Gruzinim" in Israel and a friend of mine knows a Georgian family he can introduce me to. Also, after I master Russian I'll have more access to materials. I am currently watching "Duck Tales the Movie" in Hebrew. Yes I know that is embarrassing. edit: Georgian u-tube-like website Georgian Music Edited by nogoodnik on 24 January 2010 at 12:58am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

And why not...just check out the exotic medley of sounds and amazing writing...it's like playful little bubbles on the water or embroidered traditional folk linen :)
Duck Tales in Hebrew - wo-ooh-onderful! Best luck with your TAC goals this year and mastering this language. Edited by Teango on 24 January 2010 at 6:55pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks Teango!
I must be sensible and put Georgian aside until I master Hebrew. I've still got a lot of vocabulary to learn this year. I did speak with another Israeli friend of mine and he has a Georgian aunt-in-law and he has promised to get me in contact with her at some point. Well, I'm kind of having a hard time. Actually, it's just a minor challenge that I'm sure I'll overcome. I've been doing a lot of running and spending a lot of extra time in the gym at the expense of language study. I know that these activities are not mutually-exclusive, and I think the key is finding new bands that I like to put on my ipod. So I'll devote some time to that tomorrow. The other problem is that I have a lot of roommates and TVs in my new apartment. I've always been really good about keeping up my language environment, but my vigilance is beginning to falter with all of these new distractions. I do really like my housemates, but I need to get more strict with myself and avoid English T.V. shows. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

So I'm sort of considering going to graduate school for psychology, but I'm not 100% sure yet. Initially, my plan was to pursue an MBA at an Israeli university, but I'm not sure that I'm cut out for the business world. So basically I'd like to dive into psychology for the next few months and see if there is an area I could make a difference in.
I'm writing this in my language log because I need to figure out a way to integrate psychology into my language learning. A couple of questions/thoughts arise: are the languages I'm working on going to help me in pursuit of this discipline? I know that German is an excellent language to learn for a psychology student, but I don't think I could bring myself to learn German. Becoming a psychologist in Israel will mean that my Hebrew has to be perfect. Also, it's probably better for me to get the degree and some job experience before I move out there because competition is brutal for grad programs. So my goals for today are to find new music in my target languages, find some psychology magazines, podcasts, websites, and so on in my target languages, and to finish watching Wallace and Gromit dubbed into Hebrew (good show, btw) I'm starting to really miss SRSing. I am saving up to buy a new computer to remedy this situation (I currently use my friend's computer and she's asked me not to download anything on it and I can't spend much time on it anyway) edit: too many spelling errors...bikhat rabuck!
