Tarvos скорее всего имел ввиду, что ему надо подготовиться к поездке. :)
Кстати, мне понравилась идея доехать до Москвы на поезде. Так будет гораздо интереснее, чем на самолёте. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Конечно я имел ввиду подготовиться! Я ведь тупица.
Да, espejismo, мне тоже так понравилась идея. В общем, это хорошая идея, путешествовать на поездке - тогда можно посетить города, приехать в самый центр города, встречать с интересными людьми на поезде... на самолете мне скучно. Есть фраза на английском языке: "But if you're all about the destination, then take a f-king flight! We're going nowhere slowly but we're seeing all the sights" Мне очень нравится эта фраза. Apart from this, I have learned today that Hebrew makes a distinction between where and where to (compare with Russian где, куда). In the same way, Hebrew omits the verb to be in the present tense, except in a sort of "there is located" kind of sense, which is...like Russian. However in Hebrew sometimes prepositions are prefixed onto the word, such as the words for in, to, or from. Furthermore prepositions can take pronoun suffixes, much like in Breton. It's such a breeze going through this type of grammar when you've seen something similar somewhere else. Also, the present tense conjugates for number and gender (not for person!) So verbs have an infinitive form, and four other forms. Usually the plural forms are easy to guess as they are pretty much always suffixed with -im and -ot. The singular ones can vary, but they follow similar patterns to adjective declension (and noun declension for that matter); this is because Hebrew used to not have a present tense. The present participle of verbs actually became the present tense in Hebrew (verbs just used to have aspect). In any case, that is that. Adjective declension follows the same rules as nouns and verbs pretty much. All adjectives seem to have the -im/-ot plural endings, and usually -a or -et for feminine singular. Masculine forms can be pretty much anything. I am sure there will be exceptions, but even "good" declines regularly, so erhm. I am liking Hebrew so far, it's a very logical language that also does not overdose on loanwords (there are a few, of course, especially for international terms that you don't want to have to translate). I also studied Breton, but Assimil is boring to write about every day. But I can claim that I have studied Breton for 87 days in a row. Ain't I a hero. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I didn't know that. Interesting! I agree that Hebrew feels like a very logical language. I never really thought about how similar it is to Russian though. Except for the fact that Russian verbs have gender in the past tense. That caught my attention because Hebrew and Russian are the only languages I've ever learned where the verbs have gender (Arabic doesn't count because it's similar to Hebrew ;P).

It isn't similar in terms of vocab, just I found that some structures parallel a few
Russian ones. That's nice, because I can just carry those thought patterns over to Hebrew. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Какой ты молодец! (and with that my little Russian is exhausted!) But joking aside, your log is really impressive. When last month the TAC was being organized, all newbies who wanted to know how it worked and what they should do were repeatedly directed to this log as a great example of what it means to learn languages on one’s own. And with good reason! So, all that remains for me to say is keep up the great work and good luck with your ambitious programmes for after your graduation. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@Maiwenn, Emme, thanks!
I have finished Routledge's lesson 12 course. Also spent a late night doing Breton. And I caved, and bought Colloquial Icelandic. Not planning to use it that soon but I want to have it, and Icelandic is a language I always have wanted to do. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
