Ok so first off I would like to say that this is my first time with a language learning
log. For this year I will be studying Italian, Sicilian, Spanish, and Polish. And I
know I am in team Za but I might also be learning some Norwegian, but that is not set
in stone yet.

Spanish
He aprendido el español hace tres anos. Pero todo mi español es de mi escuela. poreso,
no creo que sea muy buen con la idioma. yo quiero aprender este idioma entonces decidí
estudiar el español por elevar mi nivel.

I have been studying Spanish for three years. but all my Spanish is from my school.
therefore i don't think i am very good with this language. I want to learn this
language, so i decided to study it out side of the classroom to elevate my level in it.
I would say I am at a b1/a2 and want to get to a b2/c1

l'Italiano
Ciao, l'italiano è la lingua di mia mama, quindi vorrei tantissimo impararla e
diventare fluente nella lingua. Io ho imparato questa lingua da quasi uno anno. Già
posso comunicare su una varietà di argumenti. Ho usato speak7.com, ielanguages.com, e
un libro dal titolo 'Italian step by step'. Perchè questa lingua è molto importante per
me, studierò la più delle mie altre lingue. Per adesso, sto leggendo le notizie in
italiano, e sto parlando con la mia famiglia. Sto anche guardando la RAI. Penso che sia
a B2/C1, e vorrei finire a C2

Sicilian
Iu Hu parratu sembre u sicilianu, ma nun sugnu fluente. pensu che l'unicu moda di
imparrarlu e' parrare con mia familia. U truvatu na sita pi imparare la grammatica.
Sugnu a na B1/B2, e vugghiu esseri na C1/C2

I Have always spoken sicilian, but I am not fluent. I think that the only way to learn
it is to talk with my family (who all speak it). I have found a sight to learn the
grammar. I am at a B1/B2 and want to be at a C1/C2

Russian
I know zero Russian as of now. The only sight I am looking at is livemocha, speak7, and
ielanguages. Right now I am at an A1, and I hope to become an A2/B1


So those are the basics of my language learning. I will post whenever I get the chance
to, right now I am entering exams so I will not begin until after Christmas. I was
thinking of updating every week, or every two days. Does anyone know how often you are
supposed to update? Anyway thanks to all who have read this. Wish me luck!
>P.s, Please correct me if you find any mistakes

This looks like a very interesting log, I am especially curious about Sicilian. You may update your log whenever you want to, there are no rules or guidelines about this.

gah i'm jealous, i can totally imagine you being able to talk so easily that you're just not paying attention to the details sometimes... siiigh i can notice these things in writing but i practically can't speak Italian!

when you have time it would be nice if you renamed the blog to team Žá :) as you've not yet started Polish, let me just tell you that in Slavic languages this letter or the similar Ź (as in Polish) are used for the sound zh, like the s in pleasure or like the sound in the beginning of Genoa (after some sort of d). the name sort of loses its meaning without the diacritics;(

Thanks for the corrections, and we are kind of opposite in that I haven't spent much time
writing the language, so I'm a little jealous you can pick those things up so easily. And
also how do I change the name of the thread?

I've not done much writing either, only reading and SRS'ing and listening. I should've clarified that I'd not have been able to write a text like this myself.
