I read and recorded an Italian Assimil lesson. I know that I have a heavy Serbian accent and intonation patterns. How did I do and where can I improve?

And this one is from a couple of weeks ago:
Italian Reading - Lesson 46

Notes:
Well, today was a fairly busy day language-wise. I did Assimil Italian lesson 59 and I reviewed the last 15 lessons. For Assimil Chinese, I did lesson 12 and I listened to all the previous lessons. Regarding Romanian, I did lesson 14(review lesson) and I listened to all the previous lessons. I also spoke with my mom on the phone in Romanian/Serbian and I learned a couple of new words, and the fact that I have to say for example "ne uităm" (we watch/are watching), instead of just "uităm" (we forget). I still have no idea what "ne" is, but I'm gonna look it up later.

I found that writing out the kanji helps me to remember them, even though I doubt that
I'll ever write out Japanese longhand. So I'd definitely agree that it's a helpful
technique.

Hi, very interesting log!
Just thought I'd point out that you can use any spelling of Caesar in the title, like the Italian Cesare or Romanian Cezar ;) The one you're using is actually Spanish/Portuguese, although if you like it this way, that's obviously fine :)

Notes:
I've basically wasted these past couple of days. I went back home for the weekend and did absolutely no formal studying, mostly because I forgot to bring my Assimil and Colloquial books with me. I returned last night and did an Assimil lesson for each language. I did spend some time talking with my mom in Romanian on Skype and I listened to some songs, but that can't make up for the lost time. I gotta get back on track as soon as possible.

I also started using SRS again. The main focus is on Romanian, but I'm also putting in Italian and Chinese words, as well as some English legal and business words, since I'm gonna need them for my classes.

I noticed a weird (at least to me) thing happening when I learn a new word. It just keeps popping up, while when I didn't know its meaning, it's like I never heard it before, but I'm sure I did. An example from two days ago was the English word "radish". I was never focused on learning words for vegetables, and I don't know all of them even in my native language. I put the word in SRS and it took me like a minute to remember it for good thanks to mnemonics. 30 minutes after that, I watched a British show called QI, and one of the guests mentioned "radish". I was thunderstruck. What a coincidence! This isn't the first time that this happened, and I'm sure it will happen many more times.

Same here. Speaking comes first.

Thanks for stopping by. Yeah, I know. I like this one since it looks cooler because of the diacritical mark. :D

Notes:

My short Italian lang-8 entry from today:

Quote:
Non ho frequentato le lezioni oggi. Mi sono dovuto svegliare alle undici, ma la mia sveglia non ha suonato. Ho parlato con mia mama oggi su Skype in rumeno, ed è stato (era?) difficile parlare per me, perché ho iniziato ad imparare il rumeno soltanto un mese fa e non so molte parole ancora.

Per quanto riguarda il mio Italiano, parlare è ancora difficile, però, ora capisco di più perché faccio l'esercizi nel mio libro e ascolto le notizie in Italiano.

My language learning is going pretty slow right now. Finished season 2 of "Boris" and watched a movie in Romanian. Still talking daily with my mom.

I'm not in the mood to write a long post right now. The next one will probably be more descriptive.
