In German I have recently finished Assimil L'Allemand and am going through the Michel
Thomas Language Builder at the moment. In French, after failing an online test for B1 (although it seemed to be pretty much entirely grammar based), I am having a revision session - I have just finished the Michel Thomas Advanced Review Course for about the 4th time (still had to go to the main course to get some things up I had missed or forgotten), am currently doing the Living Language Basic to Intermediate course and Assimil French Without Toil (second time - but so worth it). I am also going through the the Barrons French Vocab book listening to one track of the CD per day whilst reading the book - hopefully some of it will stick.... It surprises me how much I have forgotten or hasn't stuck - in fact it feels like 2 steps backward for 1 step forward at the moment.

I'm not sure if I have really completed a course in German yet. I have pretty well finished working through an old grammar book, "Essentials of German", by B.J. Vos (6th ed., 1936). But the paradigms, lists of strong verbs, and so on, are not sticking very well. I'm hoping that working with some connected texts might help.
To that end, while reviewing Vos's grammar, I am now looking at: - Assimil, "German without toil" (If you're wondering, I am not leeching off Assimil. I have bought "German with Ease" and a few other titles, both for myself and as gifts for others. But I felt I would only have time for one, and the older "without toil" appealed to me a bit more, for some reason.) - B.J. Vos, "Materials for German Conversation" (2nd ed., revised, 1907) (The orthography in this book is rather antiquated - e.g., "tun" (= to do) is spelt "thun". But so far, this doesn't seem to be any great hindrance to understanding the texts.) - Leonard Bloomfield, "First German Book" (2nd ed., 1928) Perhaps I need to modernize.

haven't finished anything so far, but currently going through:
Langenscheidt: Russisch ohne Mühe (lesson 8) New Penguin russian course (lesson 7) Assimil: Russian without toil (lesson 11) I ordered Assimil's Russian with ease more than a month ago, and I'm still waiting, and to compensate for the lost time I acquired without toil about a week ago... And I am, of course, listening to music, gradually learning the lyrics (and their meanings) by heart. 1 person has voted this message useful |
