Mon agenda la semaine prochaine a été plein. Il y avait beaucoup de travail. J'ai passé beaucoup de temps à préparer pour mes cours.
Das ist nur eine Probe. Ich möchte sehen, ob die Sonderzeichen da sind. Alles ist momentan kaum lesbar. g-bods Log Überschrift sieht sehr außergewöhnlich aus -- mein Computer stellt die japanische Schrift wieder als "garbage" dar. Am Wochendende habe ich etwas zu tun. Ich habe ein neues Spielzeug bekommen. "Ein Lidl Smartphone" -- aber mit diesem Android 4. Das ist für mich etwas Neues. Ich spiele momentan nur rum. Ich weiß nicht, ob ich alles benötige, ob solche Geräte das Leben - wirklich - vereinfachen, aber es macht Spaß. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Assuming I understand correctly (and I have to confess my weak German is only getting weaker
as I'm neglecting it terribly) - is the problem for displaying Japanese characters in your browser because of the encoding? There are a few options for Japanese, and for some reason the default your browser uses doesn't always render correctly. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

encoding! That's it. It's happening more often than it used to -- and now German is affected. Some days it's really hard to read the forum and I have to leave and come back later when my computer is feeling better.
It's really depressing. If you have any tips for how I can tweak my browser settings to guarantee proper display of characters,please let me know :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I use Firefox for almost everything and have the encoding set up to default to UTF-8 which seems to cover most situations. If it doesn't, I just have to change it manually for the page until I find one that works!

Okay, I'll have to look into that! Right now things seem to be running okay. g-bod, your log title is looking normal again ;) No question marks or little squares in there...
Today I'm using a new "task" app to get myself to study more. I've made "tasks" out of getting through my Assmil and Japanese kanji decks (anki). I get points for checking off each task. My smartphone gives me a loud "gong" (sounds like the emperor emerging) when it's time for me to study. Cute idea. I hope it works! My next step is to look for an anki-app. But that will have to wait. I have to go study my German materials. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I've got my anki-app but I need more Speicher to download my anki decks :( Amazon is taking their time getting me my SD-card.
I'm done with studying German today and I'm having fun with the "voice translator" app. I'm wondering if I can improve my reaction (I'm so slow to translate my thoughts) if I just walk around with the smartphone and speak English into it and get French. The audio quality of the app is quite good. I just tried it. the translation needs some modification. For "I have to take out my contact lenses" it gave me "Je dois prendre mes lentilles de contact." Not quite right. It took me about a minute of googling to get "retirer". I put in in Anki. This could work for simple sentences that I can proof myself. Plus: instead of memorizing those Assimil dialogs, I can translate what I'm thinking. It might be a good way to refresh everything I've forgotten since I was sick these past two months. It's also a really good test to see if I should recommend thsi app to my clients, who are often on business trips and could really use a fast translator for some (or all) occassions. So tomorrow will be "Voice Translator-app Research Day 1" :) Edited by Sunja on 23 June 2013 at 6:35pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Ich habe diesen App "Voice Translator" gestern auf dem Heimweg benutzt. Ich habe festgestellt, dass ich das Ding dauernd betätigen müsste, um wirkliche Fortschritte in der Sprache zu machen. Das ist ja keine Überraschung. Trotzdem, es hat Spaß gemacht. Alles was mir auf dem Heimweg durch den Kopf läuft, habe ich in das Smartphone reingesprochen und ich habe dann Französisch bekommen. Wie bei Online-Übersetzungen muss man bereit sein, alles nachzukorrigieren -- also gewisse Grundkenntnissen muss vorhanden sein. Ansonsten, werde ich den App weiterempfehlen.
upps, ich muss schon los... 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hallo Sunja
Ich muss "Voice Translator" ausprobieren. Danke fuer die Empfehlung. Ich habe das deutsches Woerterbuch dict.cc und Anki heruntergeladen und benutzen sie haeufig. Ansonsten habe ich 'Bilibooks' Apps. Sie habe eine kleine Auswahl von Buechern mit gleichzeitig Englisch und Deutsch Text dargestellt. Praktisch aber, wie gesagt, beschraenkte Auswahl. Ich habe auch ein Smartphone (Android), das ich als Lernmittel zu benutzen versuche. Hast du ein deutsches keyboard heruntergeladen? Ich kann momentan keine Umlaute nutzen und es geht mir langsam auf die Nerven! Gruesse Paul 1 person has voted this message useful |
