@Medialis
Thanks Big M! I finally got around to replacing that negative power coupling. ;) And knowing how much other study you've got on your plate, a big high-five for averaging an additional 1.5+ hours of Russian brilliance per day. I'm thrilled that all 3 of the ol' Team K boys in the challenge ended up in the top 20. :D I must confess...I couldn't resist playing the level-up fanfare several times (oh happy misspent youth!), to the point that my girlfriend came out of the other room to see what all the commotion was about...(lol) Edited by Teango on 13 September 2011 at 8:35pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm glad to read about your excellent success with Russian and that you're having a great time with it, too! That's a wonderful feeling, isn't it?
That wasn't much the case for me, but it's now time to be happier and go misspend my middle years! Here's to progress! Edited by meramarina on 13 September 2011 at 4:13pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@meramarina
Grazie mille! I'm really glad to hear you're safe and sound, and hope there wasn't too much damage to your home. Yeah, it's good to finally reach the next milestone of many ahead of me in reading, but there's still a long lumpy road to go before Russian 6-year-olds stop laughing at my limited abilities. ;) So in the meantime, long live all misspent misfits, and a warm toast to washing away some of those Anki reviews and welcoming lighter summer breezes in future!

@Buttons, Adrean, Solfrid Cristin
Thanks and merci beaucoup for the vote of confidence guys! I'm now trying to shift my focus over to listening and speaking more often, as I'd really like to activate some of those new words I've learned and chat more in Russian. It'd also be wonderful to sit through a film and understand the same amount whilst listening as I do whilst reading novels. Who knows...maybe one day my Russian cloth ears will catch up too. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

PROGRESS UPDATE, WEEKS 37-39 (2011)
 Russian (243.7 hours)
Estimated reading level: 91% (B2) 
Conversation rank: B1  (Майор)
Study update (16 hours) LISTENING AND READING (10.7 hours) - J K Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - completed! - М Булгаков, Собачье сердце TV / FILM (2.7 hours) - Дело было на Кубани, eps. 6-8 - series completed! OTHER (2.6 hours) Wanderlust confessional I've recently added the online Georgian TV channel Rustavi2 to my brimming basket of wanderlust goodies (thanks to TixhiiDon), and yes...I may have even sneaked a naughty peak at an episode at the same time too. ;) Words of the week Today I bring you a couple of modern German verbs I encountered whilst watching a documentary on ZDFmediathek: "twittern" and "facebooken" (which as you can probably guess, means to contact someone via Twitter and Facebook). The simplicity of constructing new words is an aspect I particularly love about German! Notes Following the recent 6 week challenge, which helped me level up my reading skills in Russian a little, my brain seems to have absconded from studies almost altogether and taken an extended sedentary break. Perhaps it's the realisation that reaching the next plateau is a little overwhelming, who knows?! My body, on the other hand, has taken this time to ease itself ever so gradually into a new fitness and healthy eating programme and make some reasonable gains. So next week I'm hoping that both will finally agree to work together and rocket my Russian farther into the deep linguistic unknown... 1 person has voted this message useful |
