DE: Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu diesem sehr guten Prüfungsergebnis! Ich kenne diese amerikanischen Prüfungen nicht, aber du hast uns ja die Notenskala erklärt. So etwas gibt einem ein tolles Gefühl und sicherlich Motivation zum Weiterlernen und Anwenden der Sprachen. Ich finde, du hast einen eindrucksvollen Log, der sich mit dem Lernen so vieler Sprachen beschäftigt und sehr gut geschrieben ist. Auch die graphische Gestaltung ist dir sehr gelungen.

DE: Danke dir für die Erklärungen zu den AP - Prüfungen. Ich kenne diese überhaupt nicht, denn so etwas vergleichbares gibt es an deutschen Schulen nicht. Wir haben nur die Abiturprüfungen, jeder Abiturient wird in vier Fächern geprüft. So ein "credit" - System gibt es in Deutschland nicht, das heißt man kann in der Schule keine Punkte für die Universität oder die Fachhochschule sammeln. Du wirst wahrscheinlich wissen, dass es auch keine "colleges" in Deutschland gibt. Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Quarter 3: Russian, Japanese  
Week 29: July 16 – July 22 Total Study Time This Week: 35 hours Total Study Time in 2011: 436.75 hours Average Study Time This Week: 5 hours/day Average Study Time in 2011: 2.15 hours/day 
Victory at last! This week marks a several awesome points in my studies for this year:
Now, back to what I’ve done. This week I interestingly spent an inordinate amount of time on Dutch, which ended up being the most-studied language of the week (and the year, for that matter). To be sure, I also fit in over six hours of study for my two actual focus languages, as well as plenty of time for my “secondary focus languages” of Persian and Finnish. In other words, all around positivity. Although I’m not getting my hopes up, I would naturally like for next week to be even better since my birthday is on Wednesday and I’d love to be able to say that my birthday week had the best study time of the year. :)  РУССКИЙ
Total Study Time This Week: 6.25 hours Total Study Time in 2011: 32.75 hours - Russian story - Ultimate Russian Lessons 1-2 (review), 3-7 (+BYKI) I started off this week’s Russian study by trying to work on my story in Russian, but soon saw the futility of that effort. I just need to know more Russian in general before tackling a project like that. So, feeling little attraction to working out of any of my approximately fifteen Russian books that I have sitting on my bookshelf, I went to the library and checked out Ultimate Russian once again. I did the first two lessons of it last September but then got distracted by learning the cursive Cyrillic alphabet and verbs of motion, the result of which was that I never got any further in the book before having to return it. Anyways, this week I reviewed those first two lessons and resumed where I had left off and completed the next five lessons. The material isn’t exactly thrilling so far, but I’m hoping that it will become more exciting as it progresses and becomes more advanced.  日本語
Total Study Time This Week: 6.25 hours Total Study Time in 2011: 46.5 hours - Japanese Sentence Patterns, Ch. 11-12 - New Vocabulary - Ultimate Japanese Review, Lessons 36-38 At the beginning of the week I finished off the last two chapters of my beloved sentence pattern book and added the last bit of vocabulary from it to Anki before finally having to say goodbye to it. It’s such a wonderful feeling of achievement when you finish working through a language book at last, but also rather sad if you’re attached to said book. (I also experienced the same sadness last year when I finished my favorite Swahili book.) Consumed my by despair at no longer having a sentence pattern book to study from, I subsequently ignored Japanese up until today, when I realized that I desperately needed some more study time for it this week. So I cracked open my old copy of Ultimate Japanese and after quickly reviewing over a few of the earlier lessons, I picked up where I left off last year on lesson 36 and completed three lessons out of it. The very first new dialogue I read provided for a rather abrupt return to the book, since it was representing the informal spoken language and was leaving out particles (は, が, を, に, etc) and using contractions, neither of which I was used to. I’m now back in my old routine with this book though and am saddened to think that I only have two more lessons left before I finish it too! In any case, the last five lessons cover some pretty amazing subjects: 教育 (Education), 伝統演劇 (Traditional Theatre), 美術 (Fine Arts), 本屋 (Bookstores), and 詩歌 (Poetry). I actually squealed in delight when I saw those. :)  Deutsch
Total Study Time This Week: 0.5 hours Total Study Time in 2011: 28 hours - Word of the Day Vocabulary - Tatoeba I started off my German studies this week by continuing with going through my hundreds of German words of the day, but I quickly got bored of doing that. I discovered the website Tatoeba this week and after getting tired of the words of the day, I went on there and started sifting through sentences in German, translating them if I could (most often into Greek since that was rarely there yet), and looking up any new words and adding those to Anki. Not very substantial study there, but it was still contact with the language and, voilà, counts as study time.  Nederlands
Total Study Time This Week: 12.75 hours Total Study Time in 2011: 66 hours - Reading and writing in Dutch Seeing it listed as simply as that makes it sound rather unimpressive and boring, so I’d like to stress the sheer amount of it I did this week (ahem, almost 13 hours). Basically this reading and writing consisted of reading incoming emails in Dutch, looking up all new words and adding those to Anki, and writing my own responses in Dutch. All of that was topped off by the fact that I also got corrections for my numerous mistakes, which luckily became noticeably less frequent over the course of the week. This exercise in simply putting my skills into practice – both passively and actively – has already given my Dutch a wonderful boost, even if I’m still making an inexcusable amount of errors.  Svenska
Total Study Time This Week: 1 hour Total Study Time in 2011: 38.25 hours - Swedish radio - Tatoeba Herregud! I actually did some work on Swedish this week, even if only a little, for the first time since the beginning of March. Unfortunately that was the only good news here. The bad news is that while listening to a bit of Swedish radio, I discovered that I couldn’t understand it even half as well as I could earlier this year. Another bit of bad news is that my written Swedish is similarly rusty, which I discovered while attempting to translate to and from Swedish on Tatoeba. That’s all to be somewhat expected though, if discouraging, seeing as how I have barely so much as looked at the language in the past five months.  Ελληνικά
Total Study Time This Week: 1 hour Total Study Time in 2011: 52.5 hours - Word of the Day Vocabulary - Tatoeba Again, essentially the same story as with German except that I spent an entire half hour going over words of the day before putting an end to that effort. Like I mentioned before, my translations on Tatoeba were for the most part into Greek so I counted doing that as study time as well. Most of them were very simple sentences that are second nature to me, but even so.  فارسى
Total Study Time This Week: 4.5 hours Total Study Time in 2011: 49 hours - Pimsleur Farsi 12-20 Still more of the same for Persian. I’m now up through lesson 20 of my review of Pimsleur Farsi (nine additional lessons this week) and all is still going well. I was doing more outside work earlier in the week and did what were probably the most Pimsleur lessons that I’ve ever done in a row – after five of them I couldn’t take any more of the Pimsleury monotony and had to reward myself with something more entertaining after that point.  Suomi
Total Study Time This Week: 2.75 hours Total Study Time in 2011: 20.5 hours - Assimil Lessons 22-26 I’m still chugging along nicely with Le Finnois Sans Peine. Like I talked about last week, the lessons are introducing more and more complicated constructions now, which seem daunting but really aren’t that hard. Or at least Assimil’s lovely format is making it all seem much more manageable. In other words, I think it’s living up to its “Sans Peine” title thus far. Just one example of this is that I’m already getting much more comfortable with the Finnish consonant gradation system that affects some consonants in the word root when certain endings are added (for example: pöytä --> pöydällä, Amerikka --> Amerikassa, kylpy --> kylvyn) – and Assimil has only just now begun to make notes about it in the grammar section. OTHER @Fasulye: Thank you for the compliments and congratulations! I did not actually know that Germany does not have “colleges,” but then again I don’t specifically even know the difference between a “college” and a “university” because both words are often used interchangeably in (American?) English. I should probably look that up actually. (Oh, and I apologize for not having written back in German; it’s past midnight here right now and the result of me trying to compose something in German at this hour would surely be a nightmare of horrific mistakes so I didn’t even bother.) Gute Nacht! EDIT: That's how tired I was when I was writing this last night -- I included last week's graph for this week's post. Oops! Fixed now.
