It's certainly a new experience, and it's great fun! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

27/7/13 - Not been a great week for Chinese. Managed to get lesson 32 of CME done, learnt some new hanzi and
some new vocab. I am up to date with Anki although today was the first day I actually added anything new to my decks, and I missed the odd day or two and had to catch up. Didn't really have any Chinese input which isn't good. Going to start having my wife 'tutor' me a little bit, basically just have her speak Chinese to me and tell me stories so that I can try and translate them back into Khmer. I figure that way I will get some more listening practice in. My DVDs should be here in a few weeks - when my friend tried to mail them from China to Cambodia they asked to see inside the package, and when they saw it was DVDs they upped the postage cost to $100!! So now I am waiting for a friend who is going to China to bring them back for me. I also have a friend who just went to Singapore and so they are bringing me a couple of DVDs next week which is cool. As for Khmer, got all the recording done for the first 5 chapters of the book and so now we have a few people testing it out so I can get some feedback. Done a very small amount of chapter 6. Learnt quite a few new words in Khmer this week from the Lexicon I downloaded so that's great. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

2/8/13 - Haven't done any of CME this week as I got a copy of the Glossika Fluency 'Appointments' Module and
have started working through that. I am really enjoying it and I already feel like it is helping me a lot. I have the Jungle Book and Despicable Me on Chinese DVD to watch, so will watch one of those this evening. I have also been watching at least 30 minutes of Chinese TV a day, even though I don't really understand much of what is going on, I am able to pick out words and understand the odd full sentence or two. Anki is up to date for both Khmer and Chinese, and I have hit 1,100 characters now. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

8/2/13 - Missed a couple of days this week for my wedding anniversary! However, continuing on with the Glossika
module and feel it is helping. Watched the Jungle Book and have been watching another TV series also. I have decided to go back over previous CME lessons to improve my listening as it is terrible. What I am doing it simply listening to the dialogue and then writing it down, and then checking back to see how I did. I figure this must be some form of intensive listening that has me really paying attention to every sound and tone. After that I will also translate what I have written down. Today I started doing this with lesson 3. Anki is up to date 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

17/8/13 - Not been a good few days at all. Haven't really done anything language wise as I have been super busy.
Watched the odd episode of Chinese TV and continued with some of the Glossika course, but that's about it. One of those weeks! Hope to get back into the swing of things a little bit next week 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

23/8/13 - Continuing on through Glossika. My Chinese DVD's finally arrived, so last night I watched The Sword in
the Stone and then tonight I watched Bambi. The Sword in the Stone was a terrible dub for some reason, even for an animated movie! Bambi on the other hand was great. I also have Cinderella and Peter Pan bilingual books which I will start looking at when I have the time. I am at 1200 characters now but not really getting any practice reading outside of Anki, so it will be good to try and spend some time on that. Back at work now so my time for languages is not great, but just trying to do at least something every day. Still carrying on with the Khmer book, as well as setting up some tests for our foreign staff in October. Translated for a friend teaching a school how to make water filters today which was fun. Learnt how to say limestone and aluminium sulphate, although i'm not sure i'll be needing those words again any time soon! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

3/9/13 - Not much to report. Was at a conference for 3 days and have just started staff training at work so I
haven't had much time for languages unfortunately. However, I did some translation for the conference so that was good for Khmer. Anki is all up to date. Watched a couple more Chinese disney movies too. These next few weeks are going to get busy, so just going to try to stay on top of Anki and not set any big goals that I won't be able to keep up with. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
