I think we're close to the half-way mark in the 6wc and I've studied 23 hours and I have 176 to go, roughly. I made it my goal to reach 200 hours. I don't think I'll make it but it will be interesting to see when I reach 200 hours. If I play my French cards right I should boost myself up a notch higher in the realm of intermediate.
I got some great stuff for Anki from my Turkish film. I like the actress' voice who plays Reese Witherspoon. I plan to load as much from the films as I can and just review it for fun.
Muhteşem!
Amazing!

No way.
That's just a few. The rest are in Anki. I might be mispronouncing those (ı/i) but I'm a bit tired. I've done a lot of rewinding and pausing the past two hours..

Yeah, I do that too :) But for Japanese. I'd loop and reloop whatever I'm watching and
review the audio and sentences in Anki, which seems to do wonders to my Japanese
listening and comprehension, as well as reading. I think you know about D-addicts, that's
where I get the drama subs from. And I'm just curious, do you use sub2SRS for your
Turkish films? I got some pre-made Anki decks for that, but haven't yet made my own
through that program. But I will now, since it really helps my Japanese by leaps and
bounds. I also really love the spoken language, it's just so beautiful.
Love your log! I had fun reading about tous/tout/toute :) I love French, even with its
sticky points :) Looking forward to your posts!

sub2? Does that have to do with the subtitles? I'm not too technically inclined when it comes to Anki. The hard part is toggling back and forth between Turkish and English to get all the accents. That takes a long time. I never can remember where ç ş ğ are and I have to punch around a bit before I finally hit the right key.
Thanks so much for reading my log I feel like it's such a mess sometimes it would never surprise me if no one read it -- so I'm genuinely happy when someone does :)))

Ah Sunja, I always follow your log too! The only reason I don't comment so much is because I don't feel particularly qualified to talk about studying Turkish or French (although I'm hording some tips from you for when the time comes for me to tackle French properly again!)

French is great fun. I really want to achieve something higher than just basic. Reading about Brun Ugle watching Tonari no Totoro really makes me want to watch all of my Miyasaki films again, but I keep thinking if I just work a little bit harder, a little bit longer to get to that cosy spot in French I can devote myself again to Japanese. I'm looking forward to it!

Haha yes, I'm still trying to reach a cosy spot in Japanese so that I can pick up French again! I wonder how the French dubs are for Miyazaki anime...

I only have German, Japanese or English for my Miyasaki films. Robert Stadlober who does the sychronized voice for the German Howl in "Howl's Moving Castle" is gorgeous, but I don't care for Christian Bale's voice (English) at all - he's a good Batman, but not a good Howl.
All this talk about Miyasaki (Brun Ugle just watched Kiki's Delivery Service) makes me want to watch "Spirited Away". Just like the Cheshire Cat helped to inspire the cat bus in "Totoro", The Yubaba character looks like another one of those figures out of Alice in Wonderland -- either Mad Hatter or the Queen of Hearts -- but her head reminds me of those 100-year-old book illustrations (creepy!) The voice acting is so good in that film that it's so hard for me to watch it in any other language other than Japanese. It's a brilliant film.

I like Zaz and I'm writing out all her songs today -- just an excercise. I've done about three of them so far. I'm watching all the L'express videos. oh and C'est pour ZEIT-Online
