Romanian letters (tz and sh especially).


BTW, there is DLI Romanian. Have you used it?



We can arrange something like that, but I need some more time learning vocabulary
before writing.

Were can I find DLI Romanian ?

Hej Amoore,

I just visited your log. There is also some Danish written here, which makes this log
interesting to read for me. Good luck with your Romanian language studies.

More Danish will be written then ;)




Today I had a lecture about the history of the Danish language.
The speaker spoke 12 or 13 languages, as a hobby, and knew, among others, sanskrit and
latin. I had a conversation with him about grammar, latin, romanian and his "learning
techniques". It was amazing to hear him talk about the origin of words and how
languages like latin, french, sanskrit, old greek, English, etc. had and was influenced
by other languages.

He told me that when he sees a text in a language he doesn't know, he always thinks to
himself: Hm, something must get lost in the translation - I want to learn the
original language and read the text as it is.

Then he begins to learn the language by reading, and without any use of flashcards or
alike, he remember the words using associations as he goes along.

I think that sounds like a very focused man while reading. When I look at a word, I
write it down, read it, think about it and practice it with my flashcards - and even
then I forget some.

Do you do something like this? Just read and learn as you go along, without fancy
techniques, flash cards and stuff like that ?

Amoore, learning like this Danish polyglot would be my dream! I have to cram in all the vocabulary the hard way, because I have a weak memory. Some words don't even stick after some repetitions. So for me it has always a lot of work to learn vocabulary, I use an A5 - vocabulary book for this. I compensate my (since birth) weak memory by writing everything down and repeating words several times. I could never think of - what quite some people do here - learning a huge quantity of words a day.
