Oh, ok, I'm done with summaries. I hope I will notice myself if I'll forget to do some daily Memrise.\
Speaking of which... finally got to do some watering from my laptop today. Ah, it was awful, I forgot some words completely, made a lot of stupid mistakes and so on. I guess it matters where exactly do I practice - on laptop or phone. Speaking of which... Unlock Your Brain shows some crazy stats: 
I was just bored, after all... It's kinda obvious that today something (Doctor Who, hehe) was much more interesting that this. I seem to be dropping L-R completely. Again. Hope that I will get back, cause I finished 4th season and don't really know if these leftovers and other seasons will be enough for my hungry for a show brain, hehe. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm writing again because I don't understand what is going on. After the post above I had another big watering in Memrise and I not only have made no mistakes, but also maxed out on points, which makes that session literally flawless (84 words in 4 blocks, if I remember right). I wasn't that great in learning session afterwards, but I was not that concentrated.
This sounds great, yeah, but to be honest. I am afraid now. What if all these words will just be stored somewhere deep inside my brain and I won't even be able to remember them when it comes to speaking? Cause that's what have happened with German beginner course from Memrise, which I have completed via my phone (okay, with most part of it)... Nah, anyway. Let's add some comparative handwriting to the mix (click for bugger resolution):  
I think both cursive and block are hard to write from their own points of view, but block at least looks okay to me... 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Meme for warum
and for wer 
First one made me to download Pirates of the Caribbean a while back, second one... Oh, I wanted to cry after the second one, because I watched special episodes after 4th season just today and I am not damn ready to face another Doctor *cries* But apart from that memes like these two are just wonderful, yeah.

Warming up before 6WC starts:
The perspective of measuring time spent there is scary, but I hope I will get used to it :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Today quite a rare thing has happened... I watched a Russian movie. I was told it is about me, so I couldn't run away this time. But even here I managed to involve languages - luckily, the pirate source from where I have taken the movie had English subs added there. I wouldn't even think to look for them, but if they were already there how could I not use them?
Well, subs turned out to be not exactly precise, but I don't think it matters much. And yup, movie indeed resembles some points of my situation (but it's not about me... everybody lies) - В ожидании чуда (if someone's interested, hehe). Apart from big German plans which I reveal tomorrow I have one for English. After I'm done with Doctor Who (and hopefully that won't happen too soon) I am going to rewatch Life on Mars (UK version). I have seen this in Russian quite a while back, and had troubles finding English audio (let alone subs), but now I have it and I am going to get away without subs. I guess I will end up rewatching an episode by episode several times if I will want to understand all the 100 percent, or rewatch the whole series again... well, I think I like these bastards strong enough :) And if I will not become insane in process I will continue with Ashes to Ashes (part of which I had to watch in Eng+Rus subs anyway)... mwahahahaha. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Ok. Plans. I am not good even at creating them, let alone following, but still I have to write something about that. I guess that I will laugh at it a few weeks later, but let's just see.
Being last.fm nerd and having stats for all the music I listen to I plan to count this as studying time, dividing the result by three. I listen to music quite carefully, and often sing along (sometimes even out loud). Even when I am doing Memrise or something else (not necessarily related to languages) I can sing along, and adding up my raised attention to lyrics I think I have a right to count this as studying time. I have a number of grammar books and level courses (A1, A2...), any attempt of working with them (including just reading) I am counting without dividing. Yes, even reading of Deutsche Grammatik mit menschlichem Antlitz counts that way. I am hoping to find some German series with subtitles and since my vocabulary is awful and so is my audio comprehension I will count time of watching series or movies with any subs without dividing. (English stuff with any subs gets divided by two though). L-R or attempts of actual reading or Ilya Frank's method counts without dividing. Unfortunately, if I will be checking up words in dictionaries, adding them to Anki (that is still possible) or just switching songs in my player I won't be excluding time spent on these activities in order not to become insane. I am counting time spent on Memrise'ing with stopwatch, and this is freaking me out just enough... Also if somehow I will get back to Polyglot or Michel Thomas - that's full time without dividing for sure. I plan to get some audiobooks or radio or TV input to be somewhat immersed in the language, but, surely, this I will divide by 2 because I don't think I will understand just enough. Any attempt of writing counts fully with all the pauses - if I can't concentrate this is a barrier to break, and I will be trying to write more in less amounts of time. Same goes for handwriting, copying things... the faster I write the better things are. This doesn't sound funny and doesn't even look like a plan. Well, you've been warned :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Um, counting less than 100% is about paying attention, not about how much you understand :)

Well, naturally, but I think it also matters what am I paying attention to... English stuff with subs is mostly about reading the subs and passive listening. Same goes for radio/TV input - I can't pay all my attention to things I can't understand, I will most probably keep myself occupied with 2048 or that kind of stuff. As for songs... these folks don't just sing all the time, right? :)
