Haha. I went throgh exactly the same thing! Doing loads of productive things except language studying and course work :D Now I'm teasing my brain with small 5-10 minute language gems every now and then. Sooner or later, I know he will succumb to the temptation and step out of his hiding place. When he does, I'll be quick to catch him before he realizes what's happened. B) Edited by M.

So, I finally got to the end of reading of this log. It is awesome, just like your trans-siberian express.

@Medialis
So very true...maybe it's just that time of year again? Having taken an extended break from language studies since the last 6 Week Challenge, I've managed to make hay whilst the sun still shines in several other side projects. Now it's time to bait the Russian trap again, and catch myself a new study regime. :) @Cavesa Thanks for your generous comment, and good luck leveling up in your 4 study languages by the end of the year!

Teango if you are going through a slow time study wise don't let it worry you. I can
assure you that a few weeks off or even a couple of months does little or no harm. You can, (I'm sure of it now), apply the somewhat athletic definition of peaking, build up phases, recovery etc.etc...Go have a rest! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@Adrean
Thanks mate, and great to see you back in the game. The truth is I've been up to my eyeballs developing various software lately, so I'm looking forward to taking several weeks off very soon. I often worry that taking so much time off from studies will set me back to square one and render my previous efforts a waste of time. However, you're right on the button about it being more like physical training. I'm always pleasantly surprised by the long-term memory of my hidden language muscles, and usually find myself breaking new boundaries after a good long break. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

A very nice blog here! Hoping your software developing gets out of the way so you can do something seriously useful, like languages, with your life! :P
I was wondering, what resources do you have for Irish Gaelic? Mine are just Learning Irish (Mícheál Ó Siadhail), a great book, and Irish Grammar Book (Nollaig Mac Congail) which I'm yet to need. I don't know of many more and I want to diversify a bit, even though Mícheál Ó Siadhail is being brilliant. TAC 2012 up soon. I might apply for that one. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@PaulLambeth
Cheers! Hopefully I'll be able to put in some serious language hours starting tomorrow. :) [edit - perhaps Monday was a little too optimistic, but I still intend to get stuck back into studying by the end of the week...whatever the weather] And it's great to hear you're studying Irish. So just like a cookery show, here's a little list I made earlier. Edited by Teango on 17 November 2011 at 1:06am 1 person has voted this message useful |
