Today I finished both Unit 1's of Teach Yourself and FSI. I feel like having listened
to the recordings quite a few times that I am getting more and more used to the sounds of the language - but at the same time it can be quite hard to tell words apart. I suppose this is just something that comes easier with time. Memrise has been really helpful in ingrained vocabulary into my brain, but frustratingly I am finding that whilst i might 'know' a word, often my brain is to slow to 'click', and I'll sit there for 10 seconds before it pops into my head. I think what's needed is constantly putting the new vocabulary into practice, so I'm looking to do more work on my written and spoken skills. I've heard that lang8 is good for getting written work reviewed so I'll give that a go. Next week I plan to get started on the second Units of both course, listen to some Swedish radio (even if i can't make sense of much at all), practice my new vocabulary by working on writing my own sentences, and above all, finding our more about Sweden. I spent a few hours today watching YouTube videos about Sweden when i should be studying the language! Still I suppose it helps to have a fascination with the country. Also, in an attempt to try and give myself some kind of realistic target, I'd like to get myself up to a good A2/B1 standard by July next year. Is this realistic? My ultimate aim with Swedish is to one day be able to read Swedish book, watch Swedish TV without the subtitles and generally understand most everyday Swedish. As always, thanks for reading! Tack! :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
