Eragon has been waiting on a bookshelf for a few months. Ok, I'll start tommorrow, after an uni exam. And I got hand on Asterix in German! You are right, getting some reading soon can only help. I may have been too much of a coward about it.

Have fun with the books, and tell us how it goes! I think that it will definitely help,
and that it won't be nearly so difficult as you think. Also, good luck with your exam! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Have you considered starting with the audio book version? When I was hesistant to start reading Le Petit Nicolas, I listened to the audio version twice while taking walks, and it encouraged me to pick up the text to make more sense of what I was hearing. But then, I found those audiobooks funny even when I couldn't understand half. (Of course the price is a bit much...)

It would be easy to find a hörbüch free online without even looking. But you might be
stcuk to your laptop with my method (unless you have a very clever phone and lots of data/storage space). Reading while listening along is really working well for me, too. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks for your support guys.
News: This 6wc is another failure of mine. Uni is interfering with my languages. Three out of the four 6wcs tend to fall into exam time :-( I am quite disappointed with myself this time. I would have easier time with 6wc starting in January, April, July and October but I am probably the only one, so I can just keep dreaming and admiring all those who get through the whole 6wc. I haven't started Eragon yet. I won't start with the audiobook as I think reading, which is usually for me easier than listening, is gonna be challenging enough. I have tried to listen and read at the same time in past but it didn't work that well for me, I wasn't enjoying it, one was taking my attention away from the other. Perhaps I should try again. During the last week or so, I only read a few articles in French (normal news as usual, Le Monde is much better for some topics than the Czech sources), watched Into the Woods in French (and wrote a disappointed review in the HTLAL film club thread), finished El Ministerio del Tiempo (which got me totally excited and I can't wait for the next season). I passed an exam at uni (a smaller one) and failed a preexam prerequisite for something else, I need to retake it on monday. Some health issues got into the mix, as usual. I have no clue whether I'll have time at all for my languages during this stupid month. Another piece of good news, I might have a travelling opportunity with my family in August. A journey that might include some German, French and English practice. And Enlish, French and German on the way back. I hope you are all having a more successful month! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Don't worry about the 6WC. I had quite a successful one and all the others were meh ever
since. Until now, haha, but that's by the cost of all the time I should've used to prepare for my exams, eh. And good luck with the ones you have, sometimes it's the only thing that can save you :) And you'd need patience. Lots of it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If you are passing through Berlin let me know. It's a good time of year to catch a beer! :) Edited by patrickwilken on 07 June 2015 at 10:48am 1 person has voted this message useful |
