Hi! I graduated from a French high school and I am currently living in France for my
studies. Actually this year I decided to take a gap year to learn languages and to work on myself. So that I can go back to university in september without hating the courses. I will study 100 hours French and 100 hours English each month until september 13, 2012. I started this journey on April 13, 2012. And so far I studied 35 hours English and only 8 hours French. I have 13 days to reach my goal for this month. I haven't studied anything today, so I hope I will add a few hours to french by the end of the day 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

So I have 12 days left and far more way to go. I don't think I will be able to make it to
100 hours for each language but I will add the hours I couldn't study to the next round. And then I will catch up I hope. I didn't study English through French as I had planned, but if I do so for the next 12 days, it would be easier to catch up later on. I don't know, we will see...

The sentence that you're worried about isn't too bad. I could understand what you were trying to say. Perhaps it would be better like this: "Now, I'm going to study English through French for a few hours. I'll count these hours for both English and French." Good luck with your studies, and don't put too much pressure on yourself! I have similar ambitions; I want to reach a high enough level of French to go to French university next year. Right now I am studying French intensively, as well getting ready for my end of year exams. So I have similar experience. Sometimes, it's better to take a break!

hey! thanks for your encouragement.
Yeah, I know that I can get the message across but it isn't enough for me anymore. I mean, I can understand almost all of the words in a movie or in TV series without subtitles, and I read novels in English without using dictionary but since I had no obligation to use English actively, I am just good at understanding. For example, now I'm trying to write in English and I'm uncomfortable. I think if my comprehension skills were as bad as my writing skills, I would be much more relaxed. Because, you know, it would be like that's all I can, I'm doing my best, I just started to learn. But in my case that's not true. Because I could have done better. But I release the guilt now, and try to do something to make that up. I actually live in France right now, and I went to college here last year but this year I thought it would be better to take a break. So if you have any questions about the college life in France etc, n'hésite pas s'il te plait! Edited by lafeeverte on 01 May 2012 at 10:41pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I see. Well perhaps it is best just to recognise those things, but not have too much
pressure behind them. For instance, you've decided you want to improve them, so do that. Just don't kick yourself when you stumble or feel uncomfortable. Those are all natural things! Having said that, my standard in French is only B1/ B2, so I don't have too much language experience. My advice is moreso general positive energy. I blame my mother :P. Merci beaucoup, bien sûr dans l'avenir j'en aurai des questions. Maintenant, je me concentre aux examens et sur mon niveau de Français. Tu peux voir mon "log" dans ces forums! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I decided to immerse for the next 5 days. I'm planning to:
-Listen 2 times to the audio book of The Hunger Games while following the words on the book. It roughly makes 22 hours in total. -Read The Hunger Games aloud. -Watch Amélie 3 times -Watch Amélie 2 times and try to imitate their accent in my favourite scenes etc. I'll do some other things of course when I get bored of them. But basically that's it. I'll be done till monday Edited by lafeeverte on 03 May 2012 at 5:24pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
