French:
Today I finished watching the second part of Le Lion, la Sorcière et l'Armoire magique. I was able to follow along easily enough at about 90% comprehension. Some new words added to anki. I'm still waiting for the Potter books to arrive, in the meantime I'll watch some more films and do anki reviews. German: Passive 59, Active 10. The past few lessons (particularly Lektion 57) have had some tricky grammar points but I'm not too worried about them for the moment. I usually review the difficult points at the end of the week. And what's with the vegetable jokes in lesson 58?! Two beans go for a walk, and suddenly one says to the other "Vorsicht, da ist eine Treppe, -pe, -pe, -pe, -pe...". Gaelic: Still on chapter 4 of Fo Sgàil A' Swastika, experimenting with L-R. I also found this article which raises some interesting points on the validity of minority languages: http://www.theguardian.com/education/2013/oct/29/dont-neglec t-uks-indigenous-languages?

Thanks for sharing the article! It's quite interesting.
About the bean joke: I think the "joke" is that the bean is already falling or rolling down the stairs while speaking, hence "Trep, pe, pe, pe, pe...". I don't know why this should be funny, but maybe it's just an example of the famously bad German jokes. ;) Viel Spaß beim Deutschlernen! Weiter so! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I attended a good friend's wedding at the weekend so I got no formal study done. However,
the bride is a Moroccan who spent ten years in Germany. I managed to speak French with her family, and chanced some German with her friends. It went down great! I hadn't much trouble expressing myself in French at all. As for German, I'm told I have a very good accent. I hadn't the vocab to talk about anything in detail, just mostly pleasantries and the like, but it felt great all the same! The Potter books have arrived! I'll curl up with the first tonight and see how it goes. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well, I'm off to Dublin for the second weekend in a row, this time to pick up my degree!
Expect an update next Monday or Tuesday. Until then, Harry Potter will be accompanying me on the 4 hour car drive. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Longer than expected since my last update, a very busy week! Nevertheless I've been
chugging away steadily: French: L'école des Sorciers is almost finished, I'll try and get the rest read tonight. German: Assimil Passive lesson 73, active lesson 24. I'm planning to up the ante for the rest of the month in order to get 2-3 lessons done a day. Hopefully I'll have finished the book before Christmas! I've left Gaelic to one side for the moment. I've been doing a lot of work through Irish lately and it fills my 'quota' for things Celtic quite nicely! Edited by liammcg on 04 December 2013 at 6:54pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |
