Hey Tarvos, just stopping by to say that I enjoyed reading (the sections I could) about the solar system and your book supply. I wish there were a way you could find a dirt cheap tablet so you could read your pdfs in bed but it sounds like Mama and Papa Tarvos will bring you a fresh supply. :)

I have spent most of this weekend entertaining my parents who came to visit me in
China. My mother seemed to enjoy this trip but my father was having a bit of trouble adjusting, to, well, China being China. The upshot of all this was that my parents don't speak a word of Mandarin, leading to me having to do a lot of impromptu interpreting. As it turns out, my Mandarin still is not perfect, but it's definitely reached the intermediate stage. I am conversational at this point in Mandarin (not fluent, though) and can handle all basic interactions likely to occur while travelling. I have a decent enough grasp on tones and pronunciation that my wishes are clear to the Chinese, and in most cases I get the response (though I will miss details). I'm still working on upping my reading comprehension and vocabulary, and when I do that (and learn some more complex grammatical structures) we'll be able to call my Mandarin fluent. Maybe that will be by the end of this trip (I still have a few months), maybe it won't. But I can at least hold my own solidly in all basic things Mandarin. Now work meetings, that's another issue. Just for fun I've booked an hour of Finnish; let's see how far we get. My brother is moving to Finland for a few months in the fall; maybe I'll get a chance to go? Maybe I won't, what with all the other trips planned. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Now I should get back to studying or reading, instead of accidentally double posting... Edited by tarvos on 04 May 2015 at 8:37am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Today I can proudly announce that I have started my preparations for one of my goals -
to sit the highest level of Russian examinations that exists on this planet, namely the ТРКИ-4. I plan to be able to teach Russian in the future, work in this language. Apart from French (which is the other language I am going to attempt this kind of thing in; I am fully capable of doing it in English and don't need to prove it, considering that I already have that type of education). I'm noticing many small details of the Russian language that I wasn't entirely aware of before (or never paid attention to). My Russian itself is of course at a very high level already but this is probably the equivalent of sitting a C2 exam. So we can finally say that my path to my third C2 language has begun (aside from Dutch and English where I have obviously achieved this level). I don't think it worth it to do it for more languages than Russian and French (it would be theoretically possible for me to try it in something like German or Italian, but in Italian my level is too low and I simply don't care enough about German to do it right now; if I can do Russian and French I may consider it, though). 5 persons have voted this message useful |
