Upkeep mainly. 30 days straight studying Chinese for at least 20mn a day. 30 days straight reading traditional hanzi for at least 30mn a day. As one can see, I've already changed my challenge somewhat. Portuguese and Spanish (advanced level) don't have to be every day, just upkeep really. Spanish because I haven't been to Spain, or done anything with Spanish for 20 years, and have become a bit rusty. Portuguese for more or less the same reason. I live in Portugal, but my partner and all my friends are English speakers, so I don't use Portuguese all that much these days. I used to, but then I also used to go out much more, and knew Portuguese people with whom I talked about more than just everyday things, like the weather etc..... I also used to read more and watch Portuguese television. But ever since we got Sky TV it's all English. So a little literary reading won't come amiss. I've also split up the Chinese challenge into intermediate textbook study and traditional hanzi reading (the DeFrancis books). Let's see how that goes. Every day!

I was starting to feel quite lonely :D Also, be careful to quote the last post in the thread otherwise, their is a risk that someone's last update might be lost. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Portuguese went from 00 to 02 because yesterday I read Portuguese after I'd bedded down my computer for the night. 2. As it is a "consistency" challenge I'd better do Spanish and Portuguese every day. So I shall. 3. I forgot to mention my short-term goal: 30 days After that I'll set new goals, taking into account insights gained. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I think it's the 1st time I am that consistent on this thread. That's quite a lot of learning you do everyday Simonov; that's impressive. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Most is just reading in languages I know quite well: as far as reading comprehension goes Russian is B2/C1 (I'll have to do a mixture of intensive and extensive reading though), Portuguese and Spanish are near native level. So no hassle. I just have to find the time, every day, to dedicate to those languages. Let's see how it pans out. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
