Strategies for TAC 2014
I have been thinking how I will approach this year regarding learning languages. Something that will suit my personality. And I think I will do following this year: 1. Daily routines I'm not good at that, but I will need it if I'm going to to some Assimil courses. So I think a sort of "flexible routines" will do the job. By that I mean to be "flexible" in my head so a "method" will not bug me down. 2. Drills Then I'm stressed and/or tired I find drills to be relaxing. Like repeating thing like vocabulary and so on. Drills are also fine to utilize dead moments during the day. 3. Projects I like projects. For example to just study German grammar for weekend or so. Projects are the best way for me to learn new thing like grammar. 4. Review I will try to review my methods and each language every month Plan for January: German: Review Babbel, course and vocabulary Review Assimil German Skype session once a week French: Babbel, review learned items, learn new one Assimil French, restart the course Spanish: Babbel, learn some vocabulary then time permits 1 person has voted this message useful | |

My first weekly rapport:
Not so very productive I'm afraid. First I got sidetracked by starting to watch the serie Games Of Thrones, all 3 seasons:-) And secondly my iTunes library is broken. Missing a lot of files, so I have to fix it. And that means I will have to dig out my Assimil cd's and import it again to iTunes. And a lot of other files, including Audible-files. I have done some reviewing of the Babbel German course. Had a Skype session in German. Bought some German bilingual books. I really want to start to read in German. And also all my mediafiles in Anki is missing. OK, I have learned the lesson now, today I bought a portable harddisk so I can make a backup of all my language files :-) Edited by Bjorn on 12 January 2014 at 6:34am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I assume you mean "report" in the first line there? Rapport has a very different meaning. :)
The majority of files on my (currently 8TB capacity) unRAID file server (which I recently backed up to some external drives so I can keep an offsite backup as well) are technically language-related since most of it is foreign language media (TV shows, movies, etc. in Korean, Spanish, Japanese, etc.) as well as actual language learning data (rips of my Assimil CDs, Pimsleur CDs, Michel Thomas CDs, etc.). I started with just an external HDD to backup my data (which was stored on my PC), but my collection quickly grew beyond that.

Yes, I ment report, "rapport" is Norwegian for report :-)
I was a bit tired then I was writing it. 8 TB is an impressive language collection. I hope my 1 TB ext backup hard disk is good enough for a long time. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It feels good to know I am not the only one hoarding treasures on HDDs :-D
Bjorn, I hope you watched the series in a TL ;-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It was in English, it seems to be only English in HBO Nordic.
Last night I read a bit in "Es", German edition of Stephen King "It". I think it's doable for me to read this book. I will read this book every night in bed. I have read the book in Englisch twice and also watched the movie twice, that will help in reading the book in German. Like I did for English over thirty years ago, I will do the same for German. I will just read to get in the flow and not locking up words I don't understand. I will only lock up a word if it pops up several times in the text and I get real annoyed about it. I think I will name it the "Flood-method" And of course free for everyone to use it :-) 1 person has voted this message useful |
