Hello,
Some of you might have seen my Dutch log. Now that I am studying more than one language, I think that this log will again, help me with motivation. So, without further a due, let's get started. :D Russian I have absolutely NO background in Russian. Right now, I own a copy of Teach Yourself Russian Script. Along with this, I am waiting for a copy of Teach Yourself Russian to come in. Along with this, I have a copy of Complete Russian and Ultimate Russian from my local library. Dutch In Dutch, I would guess I am a high-beginner to a low-intermediate. I currently study this language the most, as it is the one I have been studying the longest. I own a copy of Teach Yourself Dutch, Essential Dutch Grammar, Teach Yourself Dutch Conversation, Colloquial Dutch, and I am waiting for Teach Yourself Dutch Dictionary to come into the mail. I type to friends everyday who live in the Netherlands, but am searching for people to speak to, so I can get some practice. Hungarian In about 8 months, I plan on being in Hungary for about 3 weeks. Before I go, I would like to be in a somewhat conversational level in this language. I have a very close, and good friend who is from Hungary, and speaks it fluently. Currently, I have spent zero time in the language, however plan to, once my copy of Teach Yourself Hungarian comes in the mail here in the next few days. Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian I just starting studying this language with regularity recently. Although my motivation is very slim, I still pick up the book, and read to learn. I have a good friend who is from Bosnia, and she helps me with the language. Currently, I do not own any books, but if my motivation has a heightening, I will purchase a copy of Teach Yourself Croatian. Right now, I use a copy of Teach Yourself Serbo-Croatian from my local library. Thank you all for reading this first post. I plan to update it as I study, and may even post interesting facts I have learned in the day. Edited by Bbcatcher 08 on 06 January 2013 at 4:26am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

For tonight, I took it easy.
Studied Chapter 4 for Dutch in Teach Yourself for 45 minutes. I also studied the first chapter of Ultimate Russian for about 30 minutes. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hey
Good luck with your studies, especially with Hungarian which I regard as a tough language to learn. Take a look at RT language course maybe you'll enjoy it (you do not have to register). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I spent about 45 minutes today speaking with natives with Italki. (Dutch)
That concludes my study for today, and will not be studying anymore today. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Bumping to top. Will participate in TAC 2013 with Russian and Croatian. However, will
still be intensely studying Hungarian and Dutch. Will be going over to Europe in the summer of 2013, and will practice and speak only in these languages! 1 person has voted this message useful | |
