I've been wondering about that lately. SRS seems very effective but if I spent the same time reading I wonder if it wouldn't be just as beneficial or even more so... What are you reading? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

SRS's help for me was very minimal. I would still forget a lot of words. I felt my studying was tied to the damn SRS instead of actually learning the language.
Black Mountain Rambler Roses Those are the two books I'm reading right now. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Those novels sound really interesting. Now I wish I was already at a level where I'd be able to read that kind of book...

When I read my first novel in Korean, I was utterly confused, but I just kept writing down words to look up and as I kept reading, the clearer everything became.

Lately I've been practicing rap songs to get me more comfortable speaking Korean. After that, I wrote my own Korean rap song.
Rap Song I think making the songs is a more interesting way to work on output as opposed to writing simple journal entries. Edit: I signed up to do French for the 6WC challenge. Korean will still be my focus, but I have so much free time that I thought I'd use some for French. I'd like to see how a Romance language is after studying Korean and Japanese for the past three years. I'm thinking I should make pretty good progress since I know what works and what doesn't work for me now.

<<LOUD APPLAUSE>> Finally... somebody other than me has the GUTS to call out AKB48 for what they are... crap! J-Pop is pretty bad, and these girls are the creme-de-la-crap. By the way... any good Rip Slyme songs you recommend? I know a few of the guys were involved in the side project Teriyaki Boyz, one of the only two Japanese-language CDs I own.

Haha, glad to see another person dislikes the idols in Japan. I used to think Korean idols were bad, but then I listened to Japanese idols lol. The only Jpop I like is Amuro Namie and BoA, and BoA is Korean haha. I mainly stick to Japanese rock and hiphop. As for Rip Slyme, some of my favorites are: Super Shooter, Nettaiya (also check out the PV for this one lol), Tales, Dandelion, Blow, Galaxy, Sense of Wonder, Funkastic, etc. Edited by The Real CZ on 26 July 2012 at 3:45pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I ordered the newest version of Assmil French With Ease and Schaum's Outline of French grammar. They're not expected to get here until the third, so I'll have to find some free online sites to at least learn some basics and get used to French.
It is nice to actually be able to look at some French text and just guess what's being said just because I know English. It is going to be weird going to a totally different grammar system though. Korean and Japanese are only hard at the beginning, but make complete sense once you learn the basics. It doesn't seem that way for Romance languages lol. I also checked out FSI French and gave up after five minutes. That shit is torture. 1 person has voted this message useful |
