Die wörtliche Uebersetzung von "Hvad er klokken?" lautet: "Was ist die Uhr?" oder auf Englisch "What is the clock/watch?". Dieses erscheint mir sehr gut verständlich. hvad = was, what er = ist, is (Form von vaere = sein, to be) en klok = eine Uhr, a clock/watch Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 28 April 2011 at 6:40pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

SELF-STUDY DANISH: Unit 8 of "Dänisch Neu" My family visit was very productive for my Danish self-study, but I forgot to write in my log that I already studied unit 8 of my textbook and work book which I use for self-study. In my Danish course we use a different taxtbook and workbook. This is of course necessary because I cannot study in advance of our class because I have to adapt to the speed of the class. But if I use a different book I can study what I want. So this is the trick of it, which is important when combining class learning with self-study. Next week my VHS Danish course will start again! And as well my French conversation course. And I have to go to work again after these Easter school holidays.

MIT KURS DANSK PÂ VHS Denne uge havde jeg en interessant lektion dansk på mit kurs dansk på VHS. Vi var kun 3 mennesker: min lærer, min kurskollega og jeg. Det var meget godt for at tale dansk i kurset. Også vores lærer talede meget dansk og kun lidt tysk. Vi læste i går teksten på bryllupsfesten af kronprins Frederik og kronprinsesse Mary og vi måtte oversættelse denne text på tyske sprogen. Jeg syntes, det tema var ikke så interesant, men jeg glædete mig fordi jeg kunne godt forstå teksten. Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Isn't it weird, that still at our age we keep things from our parents, and crave their approval. I think you are courageous to have told your father. I do not tell mine that I am studying Russian, or that I have now started on Greek. He would not understand. From his point of view, studying a language makes sense if you need it for work purposes, but studying just for your pleasure does not make any sense. It is these times that I really miss my mother. She was always open to anything within language studying. I admire your ability to keep on studying, Fasulye, focused and with a good progress. I feel I am all over the place sometimes. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

We are about of the same age and we have the same experience with our fathers and their attitude towards our language learning. Glad to hear that your mother always approved your language learning projects even if they were not work related. My mother already died in 1997 but as far as I remember her remarks on my language learning they were similar to what I heard from my father during the last few years. My way of language studying is the result of the failure of my university studies when I was in my 20s. The lesson I learned then was that I have to decide for a study project and then pursue it with study discipline. I trained how to do this when I prepared my 6 language exams from 2003 - 2006. One advantage I have is that I am not distracted by a family life, so I can fit my language learning into week schedule as it suits me. I have never studied Modern Greek, but I find Russian really a difficult language to learn and if you succeed with this project, Solfrid Cristina, you can be sure of my admiration for this.

MIDTERM EVALUATION OF MY TAC LANGUAGE LEARNING STRATEGY At the moment I am very satisfied with the way my language learning pursues. My strategy is now to combine a higher level language (French / Italian) with a beginner level language (Danish) which works excellent for me. While studying Turkish and Danish at the same time both languages were hindering each other because Danish took away my time I needed for Turkish and Turkish took away my time I needed for Danish. This was my special dilemma. Meanwhile I have made some real progress with my Danish: When I am walking around outside I can now at any time create some thoughts in easy Danish without needing a trigger before. First this was only possible directly after a VHS Danish lesson. And I am now capable of writing a short text in Danish about what I have done in the last Danish lesson, this is the first little step towards getting a writing ability in Danish. These two achievments I have never reached in Turkish, even if my grammar knowledge of Turkish is still more advanced than my grammar knowledge of Danish. I will receive my thick Danish - Dutch dictionary tomorrow. It weighs 1,5 kg so it's quite abundant and it will allow me to read also texts about astronomy or palentology in Danish. This vocabulary of popular natural science I cannot learn in my Danish course or with textbooks, so I have to do some additional reading to learn such vocabulary. I am now still in the VHS French conversation course but the semester of this course will finish soon. Due to a descision of my classmates my Danish course will be prolonged for some lessons before the summer school holidays / vacation. In the VHS summer pause I will continue my self-study of Danish together with self-study of Italian with my textbook "Buonasera a tutti". I am looking forward to the next half of my third(!) TAC-year 2011! Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 08 May 2011 at 8:04pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Operative word being "if". :-) I see that for every day that passes I learn more and more, but that does not neccesarily mean that I will succeed. I have however reached the point of no return, in the sense that after giving up Russian twice, because it was too difficult, I now see that although it is tough, I have reached a level where I can read very simple texts, and communicate in simple situations, and am not giving up. I think you'll have more success with your Danish, than I with my Russian, and it was probably a wise choice on your part to put Turkish on hold. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If you are able to communicate in Russian - even if it's on a simple level - then you have already achieved a lot. You have the advantage that you can use you Russian in a foreign country (Ukraine) and see how much you can understand when people ask you questions and then try to respond. Or you yourself speak to people in Russian and then wait for an answer. This kind of practical usage I have never had in Turkish so I have not reached the level of being able to communicate.
