I got a Kindle from my mum and dad, a Cantonese book from my mum, and a new English-Spanish dictionary from my brother. My auntie gave me a £15 Amazon voucher that I'm going to use to buy a Greek Essential Grammar.

The closest thing I got to language learning material was a DVD of "Gettysburg" with French subtitles, which I will definitely use once I get into French, although I really don't want to watch all 254 minutes of it in French subtitles. Oh well, at least the movie isn't 3 days long. :)

I got 4 language related presents: a copy of Jan Terlouw's Oorlogswinter, a copy of De Hobbit, money for one term's Dutch evening class, and a Linguaphone Dutch course from Ebay.
I'm going to be all Dutched-out! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I got a Romanian dictionary, a book on the history of several different languages, a DVD course on linguistics, and an iTouch which will be immediately employed with fulfilling my language needs.

Strictly speaking it's not a Christmas gift (I bought myself some non-linguistically-related gifts though), although last week I bought an Afrikaans dictionary for a song on Amazon Marketplace.

I purchased my own language-related Christmas gift - the Assimil Italian program.
I've hardly looked at it yet, though, as the last few weeks have been chaotic. It has that same strange chemical printing smell that the French book does. I'm still working on that one,, though and doing an intensive Spanish review at the same time, so I'm a little afraid to start any Italian yet. It's going to be a very romantic year (linguistically!)

I actually made out pretty good!
I got Colloquial Russian w/audio (most recent ed.) Colloquial Russian (old school, by Mark Sieff) Cortina Method Russian and perhaps the best of all Linguaphone Russian I am a pretty happy camper. 1 person has voted this message useful |
