Main focus will be German and French.
German, intermediate level, wasted a lot of times trying different things. Hopefully I will reach C1 level at the end of 2012, that would be nice.
French, newbie, here its more structured. Will be using Assimil New French With Ease and Assimil Using French. B1/B2 would be nice, but time will show.
Dabbling: Depending on where I will travelling, I will dabble in the language of the countries I visit.

Participating in 6 Week Challenge November motivated to study more. So I will start logging my language study activities.
Found a promising app for Iphone named TimeTag.
It seems to be nice and easy to log studytime.
I dont want administrative routines overtaking my studytime :-)

I gave away the Assimil New French With Ease to my son. He wants to improve his French while he is in the army.
Ordered a new one from Amazon but it will not arrive until middle/end of February.
So either I will take a break or maybe using the A l'écoute de la langue française, frenchclasses instead.
For that I will need a laptop. I have an old one somewhere, need to check out if its working ok. Don't want to take the new laptop with me on travel.
French flashcards I will do anyway.

Thanks Jack.
Not good at writing German, but I'm understand fairly well German. So no big problems following the German part of Team Freutsch thread.

Thanks Jinx
I will also be following the logs of all members of Team Freutsch.
Main dabbling 2012
English:
Need to improve speaking and writings skills.
I'm already quite good at reading and listening.
I will go for British English since I'm Norwegian and had British English in school long time ago.
Vietnamese:
We visited Vietnam earlier this year and really liked it.
So the family are planning a new trip next year to Vietnam.
I have no knowlegde of Vietnamese, so if I can learn some tourist phrases, that will be good enought for me.
I will be using L-lingo Vietnamese.
I have tried L-lingo Thai a little bit, the few words I learned in Thai seems to be stuck in my brain.

I have been using the logging app Timetag for a while.
It's nice and easy to use and I like it. Approved!
I'm going abroad in 2 weeks and want to travel light. So I got this bright idea: Why not use my Kindle to have all the "papers" instead of printouts. Kindle doesn't handel PDF very well.
So I wasted most of my studietime yesterday to make en ebook. Kindle use .mobi format, others use .epub I found out after a while. I got it right in the end with help of a software I bought. Free software are often complicated to use.
So now I'm preparing for the trip.
I will only take with me iPhone, MP3-player and Kindle.
French will be more or less parked until I come home again in middle of February.
German will be the language I will concentrate on from now to middle of February.
It will be flashcards, LR and hopefully some shadowing if I find a place for myself.
