Dziękuję bardzo! :) Byłam tak zajęta przez te dwa ostatnie dnie, że nie znalazłam nawet minuty, żeby coś Ci odpowiedzieć, ale zawsze jestem bardzo wdzięczna za każdą poprawkę.
No tak, to była po prostu literówka, która uszła mojej uwadze. Ale teraz widzę, że lepiej użyć "umiałabym" - od czasu do czasu mam problemy z tymi dwoma czasownikami, to wina mojego angielskiego mózgu. :)
Nigdy nie wiedziałam, że "użyteczny" to wyraz trochę przestarzały - dobrze się stało, że wspomniałaś o tym. Nie chcę, żeby moja mowa brzmiała dziwnie. :) Jeszcze raz dziękuję - w sobotę wpadnę do Twojego log'a i jak widzę jakieś błędy w Twoim angielskim, to dam Ci znać. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Cieszę się, że poprawki się przydały! Wpadnę za parę dni i dorzucę nowe, bo zrobiło się już strasznie późno, a jutro rano wyjeżdżam na weekend do Niemiec... właśnie się pakuję :).
Za wszelkie Twoje poprawki będę tradycyjnie wdzięczna! A po pobycie w Niemczech mój angielski pewnie ucierpi, więc tym bardziej będzie co poprawiać :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

@Julie, baw się dobrze w Niemczech! Mam nadzieję, że Twój niemiecki polepszy się podczas pobytu. :) A co
do poprawek mojego polskiego, nie śpiesz się jak jesteś zajęta - wiem, że trudno znaleźć czas (ja zawsze mam ten problem). Powodzenia we wszystkich językach! :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

It's time for an update. The beginning of this week went very well, even though I was busy, but then MAJOR
business interfered. Wednesday I only studied Latin and Spanish, and Thursday and Friday I really only found time for Spanish. Today I have to do some Latin, though, and hopefully Polish and Italian as well. LATIN 3 hours 40 minutes - 1 hour 25 minutes of flashcard review in Anki - 1 hour 2 minutes of adding new vocabulary words to Anki and other miscellaneous things - 1 hour of translating and then discussing in Latin class a few passages of St. Anselm's Proslogion - 13 minutes of studying the gerund and the gerundive and their differences (I think I finally have it all straight :)) I don't have much to say except that St. Anselm is MUCH easier to understand than St. Jerome. Maybe the hard part is still to come! Anyway, as I mentioned above, I am planning on doing Latin today, so I will include that in a second update later today. ITALIAN 40 minutes I finished Lezione 2 and moved on to Lezione 3. I also did 5 minutes of flashcard review. Oh, and I finally ordered Assimil Italian with Ease. It is supposed to arrive sometime next week and I am really excited about it! :) POLISH 2 hours - 55 minutes of flashcard review in Anki - 35 minutes of transferring paper flashcards to Anki - 30 minutes (or so) of writing in this log I now have 432 of my flashcards transferred to Anki. That is not very much, since I have 4,000 +, but the number is steadily growing. SPANISH 6 hours 50 minutes - 2 hours 3 minutes of reviewing flashcards in Anki - 35 minutes of grammar exercises - 1 hour 25 minutes of listening comprehension - 1 hour 10 minutes of reading - 1 hour 37 minutes of looking up words and adding them to my three Anki decks Flashcard Count: 4,655 cards I didn't pick an author of the week because a) I was too busy and b) I am having so much fun reading La Emperatriz de Los Etéreos! I am hoping to finish that book by next Friday at the latest. It has been so useful to me; all the reading has helped my Spanish very much, I think. I have a new unofficial goal for the year: to read 12 books in Spanish. My listening comprehension has also been going very well. The Nicaragua news site I mentioned in my last update, where you can watch live transmission, has proved a wonderful source of listening material. Although I must say that hearing the same commercials numerous times has grown boring for me even in Spanish! :) Anyway, I have started a new exercise routine for the year, and while I am on the treadmill I listen to the news. This makes for a LOT of listening time, which is great, since listening is probably my weakest skill. I need to brush up on my Spanish country names. Yesterday I was listening to the news and the reporters kept on mentioning "Argelia". All I coufigs deduce from the context was that it was a country in Africa, and since I was on the treadmill and I couldn't take a break, I walked for 15 minutes trying to think of countries in Africa that began with "A". Eventually I had a chance to look it up and the answer was, as I had been suspecting, "Algeria", but this has made me realize that I need to make sure there aren't any other country names I am ignorant of. I had believed that I had learned all the Spanish names significantly different from their English equivalents, but maybe not. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Latin Update: I spent around 30 minutes adding 50+ new words to my Latin decks. I have a new plan - in the
interest of learning as much vocabulary as quickly as possible, I am going to go ahead and memorize the words from the rest of Collins instead of memorizing them chapter by chapter. This will be much more efficient, as well! I then spent 20 minutes reviewing vocabulary in Anki. I have around 1,700 cards total, but I have four Latin decks and some of the cards (a couple of hundred, I would say) are in more than one deck. I have a deck for Collins and a deck for Wheelock's and there is some overlap. I really want to learn more words - just over 1,000 words is not very good after almost 10 years of study! Of course, when I first studied Latin, before my passion for languages made an appearance, I didn't really care about it that much, and even once I had grown interested in languages, I still viewed Latin as just a fairly entertaining school subject. I have only been studying Latin semi-seriously for around two years, and none of my courses have prioritized vocabulary, which is understandable, I guess, since this is an ancient language in question. I also spent 30 minutes or so completing an assignment for my Latin class. It involved a translation from Horace and was pretty much a nightmare. Sometimes I can understand these ancient authors, and sometimes I just sit there staring at the different combinations of words and wondering how on earth I will ever make sense of them. I really think Latin is the hardest language I've ever tried to learn! :) This post became much longer than I meant it to be - now I have to go, since a long list of tasks awaits me, and, unfortunately, only some of them are language-related. A più tardi! :) Edited by Amerykanka on 19 January 2013 at 8:20pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I'm just popping in here for a moment to give two exciting (for me, anyway) announcements.
1) My Assimil Italian with Ease arrived! I will be starting it tomorrow - my goal is to do at least 15 minutes of study every day this week. Consistency is key! 2) I finished the last 71 pages of La Emperatriz de los Etéreos after 1 hour 35 minutes of reading. Now I have a whole page of vocabulary to look up and add to Anki, but I am VERY excited! Now I have read 4 books in Spanish for a total of 1,194 pages. :) 2 persons have voted this message useful |
