Well I write on my TAC log after a long break because I am returning to my TAC languages
after studying French for a week. I decided it would be stupid to spend 6 weeks learning one language and forget all the work I have done on the others! So while I will still spend a lot of time studying French, I will also add Russian and Irish back into the mix. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Wow a lot of studying over the past couple of days! I think I am in the top ten for total
hours in the 6 week challenge. Just did 45 minutes of Russian and I have to say, understanding spoken Russian isn't nearly so hard as I thought it would be, at least in songs. Much easier than basically any language I have been doing already except for German. Not what I would've expected. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Tá mé ag iarraidh Gaeilge a fhoghlaim, ach is Gaeilge go doiligh. Ba mhaith liom as
Gaeilge a labhairt, mar ní tá mé ábalta teanga Ceilteach a labhairt. :P I bet that was terrible but at least I am trying. Edited by Ellsworth on 11 February 2012 at 11:47pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

So I am starting to learn Finnish as a replacement while Irish is going slowly. I still
want to study Irish but its not going so well without a teacher and virtually no advanced resources easily available. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Wow these consonant gradations are hard! But this might be my favorite language I have
worked on so far. What fun it must be to speak. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Oooh, Finnish! :) You like to pick the interesting languages now don't you :P So will you
really scale back your Irish? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well I don't really want to but I find it very difficult to apply my standard learning
methods on Irish when there is so few audio resources. I may go to Ireland this summer and I may be able to find some good material there or maybe I will hire a teacher. Until then I still want to study a language out of the norm, and Finnish fits quite well. It really is such a cool language. 1 person has voted this message useful |
