Thanks everyone. I got some very thorough explanations in the Russian Help thread I
started as well. I will link it in case someone studying Russian comes along to this later and wants to read a bit more: http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=32533&PN=1 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Wanted some input. I have a few very important tests coming up for work, so I am going
to stick with Assimil only until after they are over. However, after June 11, I should have a month to a month and a half of down time before beginning a new big project. What would be the best thing to do then in addition to staying on doing Assimil regularly? I was thinking that might be a good time to just throw myself into the Penguin book and get as far as I can in that time? Any other suggestions? Thanks! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Figured it was time for another update! I'm finishing up Lesson 35 of Assimil today. I'm going to
begin the Russian Penguin course tomorrow! I'll start with chapter 3 as advised by a few people on here. Tonight I'm going to read over the vocab in chapters 1&2 and make note cards of anything new in there. I've been avoiding doing notecards on Assimil since I'm still in the peace phase, but I think anything in the penguin course is fair game. between now and around July 7th shall be quite challenging as I'll be traveling quite a bit and sharing a hotel and car with a colleague for a good bit of that time. If I can stay on regular studying through that time,I think it will become a much easier habit to keep up indefinitely. Oh, and i've tinkered around a bit for what works best for me for Assimil recall: 1) Listen to the Russian with the book closed. 2) listen while reading the English. 3) listen while reading the Russian 4) listen to the Russian again, pausing after each line and repeating out loud (doing it line by line helps ensure more accurate pronunciation) and then comparing with the English until I can say the Russian translation properly while looking at the English 5) read the Russian out loud again without looking at the English translation 6) listen to the recording 2x; first looking at the English and 2nd at the Russian 7) repeat step 4 8) listen once with the book closed 9) listen a final time with the book closed, and stop after each sentence, repeating out loud That is my slight tweak on the "Dutch with ease"directions that are so popular here. I've still not figured out the best way to handle the review lessons, but I figured I wouldn't worry about that too much since I'm in the passive wave still. Honestly,I am not sure how to feel about where I'm at.i've got a whole mess of Russian jumbled around in my head. I suppose the best thing is to see Assimil and the penguin cite through to the end and hope it makes sense on the other side. My apologies for any typos as i've typed this on my phone. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
