It has been awhile since I last updated my log. The reasons for that are that I’ve been
traveling for 5 weeks through Russia, the Ukraine and Belarus, as well as some personal difficulties when I got back ( I like to call it the post-holiday blues). My holiday and the post-holiday blues did have an effect on the amount of study I was able to do during that time. During my holidays I reviewed my ANKI-decks almost daily, but not much new materials were added during this time. I did already preview unit 6 of Teach Yourself Turkish and unit 2 of my Armenian study book. To catch up a bit, my goals for this weekend are to complete unit 6 of Teach Yourself Turkish and start with the first unit of Türkçe okuyorum. For Armenian I’ll redo the vocabulary in Teach, as I feel that some of the more complicated vocabulary is slipping. Furthermore I will learn the numerals covered in unit 1, as well as practising with the new letters covered in unit 2. Unfortunately, lately wanderlust has roared its head. During my trip I was offered a job in Belarus, which at the earliest I can only start next year, and because of that a big urge to learn a third language emerged. During my stay in Belarus I noticed that I could probably understand 80-90% of Belarusian and that in daily life it’s hardly used at all. Despite the fact that there is a chance I can work there, it’s not a language that attracts me much (although it does sound better than Russian). While I was staying there I did notice a lot of Polish people and Lithuanians over there, because of that (and historical ties between the three countries) I’m feeling an urge to learn either Polish or Lithuanian. Of those two I’m slightly favouring Lithuanian, but I’ve not made up my mind as of yet. I guess I’ll have to do a little experimenting with both languages before I’m going to make a final decision. On a side note; after seeing some TV-show with some of the characters speaking Hindi, I’ve got a sudden urge to learn that as well… 1 person has voted this message useful |
