When you say Pimsleur Russian 3 lesson 3, does that mean that you have completed two full courses of Pimsleur and are now on the 3rd one?

yes ma'am :) Pimsleur Russian 3 lesson 7 Assimil Using French lesson 32 Amélie Nothomb "Stupeur et Tremblemments" page 22 French in Action 40,41 3 or 4 Israeli TV shows per day My Internet access is a bit limited this week, so I'll write a quick note. I'm having a lot of fun with my studies, but have not yet begun another book in Hebrew. I will make time for that this evening. I'd also like to spend a half hour or so today "sentence mining" from the Princeton Russian course and adding new material to my SRS. I'm really enjoying reading my first book in French, and although I am still not able to recognize every word, I'm able to follow the story. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Pimsleur Russian 3 lesson 13 (I need to repeat it today though)
Assimil Using French lesson 37 Stupeur et Tremblements page 106 a couple of Russian TV shows several hours of Israeli TV I didn't mean to progress so quickly with Assimil. I've been taking 20-40 minutes per lesson and listening to each dialogue like 20 more times than needed in order to slow myself down. I do plan to review the book after completing it, so that should make up for speeding through it the first time. I'm still waiting for Russian Assimil to come in the mail. I do have a pdf file saved on my hard drive but I prefer to hold a book in my hands. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Where do you get the Russian TV shows from? I have been thinking about geting a Russian TV-channel, but since it costs a bundle of money, and I understand so little yet, I figured I would be better off watching my Russian videos about ten times until I start understanding them, and then get the TV channel.

Solfrid Cristin- I download them from rapidlinks.ru. I'm still shopping around, especially for downloads with subtitles, and if I find anything interesting, I'll let you know.
Anya- Thanks. I am really really enjoying the wit and humour in that book. I can't wait to read her others. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I was suffering from Pimsleur fatigue so I decided to make it a French TV day. I watched a film, Gamines, a documentary about women in Saudi Arabia, and an animated film. I experienced a bit of a milestone while watching the documentary because I was able to understand almost all of the content without trying. On the other hand, I had trouble following a lot of the dialogue in the film.
I am quite surprised that the documentary was significantly easier to understand. While I was in the intermediate stages in Hebrew, documentaries always provided the most challenging content due to the specialized vocabulary and films and tv were easier. I'm downloading some documentaries about Sufi Islam and the Amish right now and I plan to watch those tonight. I like the idea of being able to work on my French while learning stuff simultaneously. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My experience is that when talking on TV, the French will double their speed - which is not exactly slow to begin with. If there are parts of the dialogue you do not catch, I think that is perfectly normal.
Why did you take up Hebrew? I had a few classes of biblical Hebrew years ago (it was the only Hebrew class available) as a preparation for going to Israel on vacation. I have forgotten what little I knew, and have had no need for it since, but I am still dreaming about going back to it some day. I love the sound of that language. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
