I think there are rules as to when you use those adverbs (also, too, etc). Since you're Dutch - also never goes at the end of a sentence.
You do something, too. You work here too? Also, you have to do the dishes tonight. It's mostly a matter of just practicing, though... Edited by tarvos on 20 March 2012 at 9:54pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I think "also" is mostly used to indicate an addition:
"I've done the dishes. I've also cleaned up a bit the kitchen." While "too" implies at least 2 elements involved (but I might be missing some other uses, that's everything that comes to my mind right now): — I love you, dad. — I love you too, honey. or: – My favourite number is 3.14159265. — Oh! That's my favourite number too! I hope you can see the difference. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

so the last 2 weeks were riddled with studying, but not language study. (school...)
I did watch a fairly big amount of QI (English) and to a lesser extent le journal sur tv 5 monde and ZDF History. My comprehension (expescially in French) is better every time, just listening helps! Now, I had to learn some German words for school lately and also some words I had learned before but I'd forgotten them all! While words like der Bauer which I picked up during a German documentary stick. Edited by ReQuest on 26 March 2012 at 8:34am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I just want to share that from today onwards I'll be studying Castellano/Español.
I'll do it from a French base and will be aiming for a "acento de Madrid". 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Heute habe ich Das Leben der anderen gesehen, das ist ist wirklich ein sehr geile Film! Die muss man gesehen haben.
Es redet über der DDR und ja, ich muss sagen ich so glücklich in ein freies Land zu leben, ich fande es so intrigierend, die Stasi die jeder beobacht, und wen der Mauer gevallen war waren die "starke" Stasi plotzlich nichts mehr. Really watch this one! Edited by ReQuest on 31 March 2012 at 7:01pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

English:
I read The picture of Dorain Gray now, I don't really like it so much, I'm not really interested in reading pages and pages about how beautiful a certain man is... I know the writer was gay and all but ok there isn't much action in book a.k.a. not liking it. I've also started to watch The Sopranos, and I love their accent, the vowels of New York English are so beautiful. That brings me to my English accent, since I have finally chosen that I'll go for a American accent and more specifically a New England/New York sort of accent, it's going well but I now have to get stuff like broad A's out of the system, kinda annoying. But I do feel this is more natural, RP is cold and stiff and my teacher hating the American accent is also a boost to learn it :P. She says think like: I would translate that to holiday, but vacation is also possible... (when she says vacation she puts on a face as if a dead corpse is laying in the room... and puts on the most ugly American accent i've ever heard.) Or: recognise or the more lazy American spelling recognize. Oh and I guess I've never mentioned it but I'll be going to London this year with school, we'll go to: Windsor Castle, do a tour around the most famous sites of London, go to Tate Modern, The Bank of England, another city-walk and free time if there is time left. français: Alors j'ai découvert un site superbe (pour moi quand même...) http://pekinstream.fr/S01E03.php ici on peut voir toute les épisode de Pékin Express, autrefois quand le programme était en la télé neérlandaise je l'adorais, donc c'est genial de la voir maintenant mais en francais cette fois. Deutsch: Nun, auch für Deutsch habe ich etwas gefunden was sehr Nutzlich scheint: http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=23779&PN=1&TPN=1 und auch: http://www.lyricstraining.com/search?qry=rammstein Die erste Link erklärt wie die Deutsche Fälle arbeiten und dieses Mahl habe ich echt das Gefühl es verstehen zu haben. Die zweite Link, ich liebe Rammstein und hier kan man die "Lyrics"trainieren, das ist einfach geil. Über den Austausch (exchange project with a German school), ich habe leider keinen Partner, in die Deutsche Schüle waren 13 Schüler weniger und sie waren vor allem Mädchens, also sie wollten lieber Mädchens mit Mädchens und ja also, keinen Partner für mich. Ich werde das nächstes Jahr ja nach Deutschland gehen also es ist mir egal das ich keinen Partner habe. Weil wen die Deutschen hier komen dan mussen wir Nederlandisch sprechen und das ist für mich nicht notwendig, Nierdelandisch sprechen. castellano: Entonces, castellano es muy fácil en realidad, con una base francesa se puede ver los conexiones, hay muchas palabras mismo(s?). He encontrado unas artistas que me gusta. Castellano es maravilloso. Edited by ReQuest on 13 April 2012 at 7:47pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I've just catched up with your log and it is great. You are progressing really nicely.
Why did you choose Spanish, by the way? And thanks for the link to the pékin express. I miss easy access to French series (even though mostly fiction). Do you know of any other? 1 person has voted this message useful |
