You just took me back to my student's days, where I also studied L'Etranger. I must admit I hated it. After 10 years of reading serious books at the University I came up with a severe case of allergy against anything heavier than Agatha Christie. Hope you enjoy it though! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks Solfrid Cristin, and I really appreciate that you stopped by my journal even at such a difficult time. I am definitely an advocate of entertainment over seriousness; half of my language learning time is spent watching T.V. :)
I find Camus highly readable though and I enjoyed the experience of reading him in French. As for an update, Israeli friend still here so we are still speaking Hebrew all of the time. I bought "Le Yiddish sans peine" and am going through it. I'm finding it way too easy for my level but I'll use it as a review and for French practice. Unfortunately my Russian book has still not arrived so I haven't studied that language much. I need to get some more books in Hebrew. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hi nogoodnik!
My name is Alex and I'm a new Team Ж member. Russian is my mother tongue, thus if you need any help to crush it let me know :). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hey,what are team mates for? :-) As you see I have also invited in a new team mate, Alex (Hi Alex!) and am sure he will be a valuable addition to the team. I am sorry you do not live closer, then you could have borrowed some of my Russian books, I have tons of material in Russian. I really envy you being able to speak Hebrew though. I think it is one of the coolest languages ever. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Dito.
I concur. I read your log and I'm sorry to see you're on your last legs regarding time and so not being able starting another new (or not so new) language. Also, you are already on the Russian team. Under slightly different circumstances this year an all A1 Hebrew team could have taken off. Edited by Meelämmchen on 08 February 2011 at 9:38pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hi Alex! Welcome to team Ж! Looking forward to working together.
Meelämmchen: Good luck with Hebrew this year! So I took some Israeli friends to San Francisco and we went to Alcatraz. I was able to get the tour in French, which was nice. We happened upon some other Israelis on the island and walked around with them a bit. Then we went for lunch at an Arab hummus and ful restaurant and there were more Israelis at another table. So we started speaking with them. Come to find out, the owner is Palestinian and also speaks Hebrew so I got into a conversation with him in Hebrew about how much I want to learn Arabic. He told me to come back anytime for free hummus and ful and he will help me with Arabic. It was really an amazing day for languages. I'm still waiting for my Russian materials so I've decided to focus on French in the meantime. I am working through this wonderful book, "Easy French Reader," that has excellent stories for beginners about French history and excerpts from short stories. I'm on page 130. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Is this when I say "Next year, in Jerusalem!"? How about a 6 week challenge at the beginning of next year? They are doing Dutch now, let's go for Hebrew next year! 1 person has voted this message useful |
