Log Day: 10
1) Pimsleur I - As I completed the lessons 28, 29, and 30, I finished the first 15 CDs of Pimsleur (Units 1-30 - Level 1) in 10 days. I'm not going to use the CD 16 [readings] yet. My correct responses were above 90%, so tomorrow I go on to Level 2. 2) Assimil With Ease - Lesson 10 (and review 3). 3) Assimil Without Toil - Lessons 1, 2 - I bought a copy of the old version of Assimil French which is called French Without Toil (the red one, hardcover, used of course) so I couldn't avoid to read two lessons since yesterday. It is completely different form the Assimil With Ease. There are also some differences between “With Ease” and the newer Portuguese version called "O Novo Francês Sem Custo". D’abord, il met le répondeur téléphonique… D’abord il décroche le téléphone… Puis il dîne, met les assiettes dans le lave-vaisselle et allume la television… Puis il dîne, fume une cigarette et allume la télévision… Il regarde les informations et quelquefois un film… Il regarde les actualités et peut-être un film. Après, il lave ses assiettes… D’habitude, il se couche avant minuit… …et se couche à dix heures Mais ce soir, malgré les quatre-vingts chaînes disponibles sur le câble, il ne trouve pas d’émission intéressante. Mais ce soir, il n’y a pas de film à la télévision et il pense aller au cinema. Il y a um film d’horreur au Gaumont et um film politique au Paramount... - Eh bien, je vais écouter de la musique et passer une soirée calme. - Non ! Je pense que je vais écouter la radio. C’est plus calme. Edited by Abdalan on 18 February 2011 at 2:41pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

J'ai fait beaucoup de chose h'aujourd'hui.
1) Pimsleur 2: Lessons 1, 2, and 3 2) Assimil French With Ease: 11 - I decided never doubling up here, but I do review briefly one lesson of the preceding week. This time, lesson 4. The humor that is characteristic of Assimil reached its best so far IMO with a nice joke. I'm going to learn by heart. 3) Well, I read lesson 3 of French Without Toil One phrase stick in my mind: "Je n'ai encore rien vu". For sure! But I just started and now I know much more than I knew 10 days ago. Edited by Abdalan on 17 February 2011 at 4:17am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Log day: 12
1) Pimesleur 2 - Lessons 4, 5, and 6 (about 1 1/2 hour a day. It is much better than the volume 1) 2) French Without Toil: Lesson 4 (I just listen to the audio 2 or 3 times, read the translations and footnotes and make a full written copy of the dialogues - about 20 or 30 minutes) 3) French With Ease: Lesson 12 - (The core part of my learning path for the next 100 days or so). Vas-y ! Appule sur le champignon ! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Log days 13 and 14
I'm trumpet player and since Thursday I played in 3 small shows (jazz, samba, baião, bossa and funk) so I had no time to write my log yesterday, but I did my work for day 13: 1) Pimsleur (7, 8 and, 9) , 2) and Assimil FWE lesson 13. I also studied the Assimil FWT 5. --- Today: 1) Pimsleur 10, 11, 12 2) Assimil FWE 14 Review This week Assimil presented more than 330 words (130 new words) For example, the verbs: acheter, aimer, ajouter, aller, allumer, appeler, articuler, asseoir, attendre, avoir, chercher, commencer, connaître, coucher, damer, demander, déranger, dîner, dire, écouter, être, excuser, faire, habiter, laisser, lire, mâcher, manger, marger, mettre, monter, oublier, passer, plaire, prier, rechercher, regarder, régler, rentrer, répondre, savoir, terminer, trouver, voir, vouloir. (45) C'est déjà très bien, n'est pas ? 3) Assimil FWT 6 (this one, just for fun). Avec de la patience, on arrive à tout. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It is interesting that in the lesson 14 of the FWE, there is a review of the lesson 10 including the verb décrocher, but it isn't in this version. Edited by Abdalan on 19 February 2011 at 10:29pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm really impressed with the vocabulary you're getting. Much better than at school, where I've only been learning a couple of these words in the last few months (after over 8 years). Do you feel you've learnt them with Assimil, or do you need to revise them much, outside the course? I'm also intrigued as to some of the choices. Can you conjugate them all? I mean, I know verbs like éteindre are highly irregular, but to come across allumer, and not it's opposite seems a bit odd.
Et ouais, c'est très bien! Je vais suivre ce blog avec de l'intérêt. (And yeah, it's very good! I'm going to follow this blog with interest. Apologies for any mistakes!) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hello
Tu fais de bons progrès. Quand est-ce que tu as commencé à apprendre le français ? J'ai pas vraiment trouvé d'erreurs, à part dans la première page où tu dis "invariant" au lieu de - à mon avis - invariables. :) Bonne continuation ! Zosia
