I've been reading English texts everyday, but I haven't practised enough writing and listening.
I'm starting to forget this language...
Spanish? Was I supposed to study it?
Failed project.
Well, I did learn 1200 Kanji, but I eventually lost all my motivation to keep on learning them. I still like the language, though. I'm going to plan my progress for 2008. I'll force myself not to let laziness stop me.
I had a lot of spare time, but I only dabbled with Scottish Gaelic. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||||||||||||||

I had been quite conservative when I wrote this, because I didn't exactly know what to do with languages, especially when learning resources for everything were scarce. I didn't really do much until April, but I've been glad that I found tons of resources, when I put the mind to it, and for German, I used numerous courses - Pimsleur, Michel Thomas, FSI, Assimil and others - and now I can claim to have reached a low-intermediate stage in 8 months.
Since I found it better to focus on one rather than two new languages, I dropped it quite early...
Didn't start until recently, but I guess I've learnt much more than expected.
My progress has been tremendous. Since I'm already somewhat fluent, I simply learnt more through a lot of passive listening, doing "light" practices and for English I combined my self-study with course work. I didn't watch much TV, though. I've learnt something from my experiences, by the way. First, I actually find it dull to dabble (e.g. with 6 languages in a year in even intervals), so I'd prefer attacking *less* languages so that my attention, memory and energy can be concentrated on fewer languages with a multi-pronged approach. Second, I've learnt a lot about time management, and even things like dabbling wouldn't be possible if you don't do it promptly - my schedules have been quite tough. 1 person has voted this message useful |
