As someone in the same boat - going from intermediate to advanced - I agree and I like reading your log for this reason. While I've recorded all my progress in last and this year's TAC logs, there hasn't exactly been a clear path and it's mostly just been a case of making an effort to get lots of exposure, production, and conversation, and identifying and focusing on my weak points. I'm very much a believer in the Pareto Principle, that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts, but identifying what this key 20% actually is is very difficult. It certainly seems like you're on the right track with trying to speak and be immersed as much as possible, so keep it up! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Same goes for myself. Keep up the great work, emk! And its worth saying that many people would struggle with some of those essays in their native language. Your progress is truly impressive!
I look forward to your posts in all French. I find I can use Google translate to fill in gaps for me. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

So what are the general rules for correcting posts on lang-8? When do you write in blue, red, grey, cross out, and
so on...? They seem to have made an easy concept unintuitive. Are there any agreed on "community standards" that most people follow? I couldn't even find a blog post or FAQ suggesting how to use them. Also, very interesting log :) I've enjoyed reading through it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I need to comment on how much I have enjoyed this log, since I read it often :)
I doubt if I ever take a formal test in any language, but it is interesting to see what is actually involved. It inspires me to see what is ahead, when I break out of A2 :) steve 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

@AndrewW There's no set standard for how to use the correction tools. You sort
of just use your own style and make sure it's clear and consistent. I think I use blue to make alternate suggestions (where what's written is correct but other options exist) and red/crossing out for mistakes. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

It's kind of fun actually. I'm still creating my own style - red and crossed out for things that are obviously wrong, blue for replacing obvious poor word choice and style corrections. Comments also seem to be under used - I've left alone most things where I don't understand what they're trying to say, and instead offer suggestions through the comments. And I've gotten a couple replies from people that are thankful for that. Better than trying to correct something you don't understand! Anyway, sorry for hijacking the thread. So much great advice in here. :) Edited by AndrewW on 10 May 2012 at 4:18am 1 person has voted this message useful |
