Hello,
This is my log for studying English Language, thanks for Kisfroccs because of his wonderful log, I get excited to open this learning log and I added some other languages which I love to study them in the next 6 months!
English
My journey with English language started from a long time ago , from my school stage, I really in the first
didn't like the grammar (not because of the language but because of the learning method!),
(but this from at least 7 years ago as this time is the last time I studied language at high school in very serious way!,
but for now, I'm so excited
to begin my study again and this time because I LOVE the language, not because anything else , I love all English accents
(Standard American Accent, Texas Accent, British Accents), but because my goal which is achieve an official certificate in English, I'll study American Accent
I know this is my long journey to achieve my goal, all what I can say that I'll study hard to achieve my goal,
which is to achieve at least B2 level (Basic Fluency) at English..
My current book
American English File
My level : about A2
My Goal : B2(and If I can: C1)
Edit: I re-edited my log to focus on English, I try to do all those languages but I got tired and I recently read at many topics here that " You must focus on one language till you master it or at least reach intermediate level in it , then move to another" and I'll do it!
For another thing, I changed my mind about British accent, I think I'll study American accent, I love both, so I hope that changing my accent to American (which I prefer because of TV series!) will not effect on my knowledge of British accent!

Okay then!, I wish that I'll update this log every 7 days, but I'm so excited to write what I've done at these days(actually for two weeks)
Vocabulary In Use
I did units (1-4), amazing series, I love this book because thery managed the vocabulary in it by subject, I take a lot of time at every lesson because of my way at studying vocab and how I adding it to Anki:
front card
a gap sentence
its translation
Back card
the type of the word (noun; verb; ...etc)
the word
then I searched for an audio file for this word
Grammar In Use
I did the units (1-4, 34, 64)
I'm also loves this book, because it has the left side for studying and the right one for exercises, and also because its Appendixes, I added all what I've studied to Anki too!
Real Listening & Speaking
I just did the first unit, but I need more time to add the useful sentences to Anki (maybe I'll add them today)
Pronunciation In Use
I did the first two units, I must confess that I didn't like "pronunciation" stuff!, but what can I do!, I must studied it to develop my speaking skill!
TV
I watched some episodes of Primeval, I like it (of course because of its contents about Dinosaurs and all Sci-Fic thing!)
Successful Writing
Nothing till now !
Anki
I reviewed about 120 cards, I love the way that the Anki working at!
That's all for now :)
