I've read another 20 pages in Грозовой Перевал, so I'm at page 107 now :) Reading is going very well, and I'm adding quite a lot of new words to Anki (almost all I look up :D). I think I'm looking up like 5-7 words a page now.
"[Cathy] Говорю тебе: я так верю в любовь Линтона, что, кажется мне, я могла бы убить его, и он, умирая, не пожелал бы мне зла." Я посоветовала ей тем более ценить его привязанность. I love how Cathy has no empathy at all. I've also been listening to Анна Каренина. Yeees, it will last me for a while. I've listened to 1,1 hours so far, and probably at least twice. Attention span problems -_- 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I've been trying to keep away from the dictionary with WH for a couple of pages now, and I'm at page 135 or so. I finally got to continue MM as I started working yesterday, and I'm at page 329 for that one.
Hour count for Anna Karenina (total): 3,8 hours. Listening to it is coming along pretty well, I can focus a bit better now. Still missing parts though. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Here it is, just in case - http://ifile.it/91hv6pq
I've been listening-reading to it for more than a month. It was very difficult at first: lots of unknown words, strange sentences... I had to read the English translation of a sentence or a paragraph and then listen and read the original Russian side to actually understand something. Fortunately, the recording I have is somewhat slow and read with passion. That's ideal for beginners. Now I'm almost done with the 4th volume. I no longer read the English translation but read and listen to the original text straightaway, quickly switching from side to side when needed. I listen to every track three times. Overall, I'm satisfied. I don't like literature. Or maybe I didn't. It's like a waste of time. That's the beauty of parallel texts - I can read and learn something from them, the target language. And I do enjoy them. I would never read a book like Anna Karenina in Italian only, unless it was a parallel text with Italian on one side and a foreign language on the other.

Thanks! However, I mostly listen to the book when I am out walking (preferably daily, ca 40 minutes), in order to combine two tasks at save some time, so then I can't read ;) I honestly don't understand how you can listen to the same part four times Kveldulv! I wish I had your patience...

J'ai continué à écouter Anna Karénine : en total j'ai écouté 7,2 heures. Aujourd'hui, j'étais chez le médecin et il fallait attendre longtemps (comme d'habitude). J'ai donc essayé de profiter du temps pour écouter le livre, mais c'était plutôt difficile... Je vis dans une partie de la ville où il y a beaucoup d'immigrants et chez le médecin il y a toujours au moins trois femmes musulmanes avec une centaine d'enfants qui hurlent. J'ai eu quelques problèmes pour me concentrer sur le livre :-) J'ai réécouté la même partie plusieurs fois, mais je pense que j'ai tout de même raté quelques scènes.
Pour M&M, je me suis rendue à la page 355. C'est très frustrant maintenant quand je ne peux même pas utiliser le dictionnaire, mais je me débrouille. Ensuite, pour WH, je me suis rendue à la page 139. Edited by tricoteuse on 26 June 2009 at 7:24pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Et ça continue ! Mon vélo s'est un peu cassé l'autre jour et il a fallu prendre le tram au travail. J'ai donc écouté le livre, mais c'est tellement plus difficile de le faire quand je suis assise. Je m'endors -_- je n'ai pas pu prendre de promenades en plus pendant ces derniers jours... Maintenant, j'ai écouté 8,5 heures en total.
WH est devenu très triste, comme toujours au milieu du livre. Je suis à la page 172. Pour MM, j'ai lu jusqu'à la page 385 ou quelque chose comme ça. Le bal est fini et maintenant j'espère que quelque chose d'intéressant va arriver. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I recommend you to buy audio books from http://www.ozon.ru/context/audiobook/
and then go to www.lib.ru and find the book. So you will have both. Some audiobooks have the text as well. Although I like to read in Russian, I would not recommend you to read Pushkin or Tolstoi if you are starting with the language. Take something easier like the Compte of Montecristo or Gary Poter (Harry Potter) ver 1 person has voted this message useful |
