Merci, et bon courage ! I've succeeded in my short-term personal goals, definitely—I can function independently in French, with varying degrees of success. But I must confess, I'm still waiting anxiously for my DELF B2 results, which I'm now told should arrive early next week. This really shouldn't bug me—I passed a couple of practice tests with a perfectly good score the week before the exam. But I know that I bombed the longer listening comprehension section, thanks to an unusually difficult recording and a noisy exam room. My listening comprehension, in any case, is my least reliable skill—sometimes it's quite decent and other times it's pathetic. The trick is not to get demoralized by all the ups and downs, but to keep enjoying French. You can see how different ployglots have evolved strategies for coping with the bad days—khatzumoto always focuses what he can do, not what he can't, and Benny Lewis has this invicible self-centered optimism. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Parfois, j'ai peur que je n'étudie pas le moyen égyptien, mais plutôt l'ornithologie
égyptienne. Il y a un tas de hiéroglyphes avec une image d'un oiseaux. Je n'ai appris que trente hiéroglyphes, et il y en avait déjà cinque : 
1. un vautour égyptien, 2. un poussin de caille, 3. une chouette, 4. un jabiru, et 5. un canard en plein vol. J'étais surpris par la clarté des hiéroglyphes. Chacun d'eux correspond très bien à l'oiseau. Néanmoins, les oiseaux sont difficile à dessiner. Bien qu'ils soient mignons, je préférais en avoir moins. Je ne suis pas encore fort en ornithologie. :-) Jusqu'à présent, Anki marche très bien pour apprendre les hiéroglyphes. Je révise entre 7 et 12 cartes par jour, y compris trois nouveau hiéroglyphes. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Vous utilisez l'Assimil pour apprendre l'égyptien hiéroglyphique? Qu'est-ce que vous
pensez de ce livre? L’égyptien est pas mon forte, mais, s'il y a un possibilité de jouer avec les symboles un peu, peut-être que j'achète ce livre aussi. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

J'attends la méthode d'Assimil, qui est en route d'Amazon.fr. Je ne l'ai pas vu, mais
tout le monde dit qu'elle est très bonne. J'ai fait un paquet de cartes sur Anki avec 200 hiéroglyphes de base. Est-ce que vous le voulez ? Envoyez-moi un message privé avec ton adresse et je vais vous l'envoyer. Il est encore un peut compliqué, mais il marche. Je pense que les hiéroglyphes sont vraiment plus faciles que les caractères chinois. Il y en a beaucoup moins, et ils sont plus faciles à apprendre, grâce à les images très vives.

You've probably forgotten all about it as it was in April, but I too saw Intouchables
recently. Boy, movies are really tough still. The kind of longer sustained speech that you get in a speech, an audiobook etc I do fairly well, but with short lines I almost can't hear anything. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am joining that club (trying to snuggle a girl at the same time wasn't helping the
cause). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

One more thing. Thanks a bunch for mentioning VDR, it's a gold mine!
