A voir la façon dont tu écris le français, j'ai beaucoup de mal à croire que tu as commencé il y a un mois... mais tu es peut-être un génie !! :)))

Pour ma part, je rame avec le portugais!! J'ai un gros problème avec l'accent auquel je ne me fais pas (contrairement à l'espagnol et l'italien qui ne me posent pas de problèmes)!!

Bon courage pour la suite!

Salut, polyglossia, merci, c'est gentil de ta part

Tu as arrivé fort à propos parce que je pourrai t'aider (je ne sais vraiment pas dans
quelle mesure) et j'ai besoin de quelques conseils. Au sujet de "tu es peut-être un
génie": bien sûr tu l'as dit pour rire ; quant à moi, je ne suis pas un génie - pas le
moins du monde - loin de là, mais je vais faire de mon mieux pour apprendre le
français.

Chegou o carnaval no Brasil e um trompetista que se preze deve ter as marchinhas
carnavalescas tradicionais debaixo dos dedos. Conciliar tudo é um Deus-nos-acuda; de
qualquer sorte, aqui vou eu, devagar e sempre, com meus estudos diários da língua
francesa.

with children and spouses, improved marriages, experienced less conflict among siblings
and increased community involvement. They also became more active."

Log Days 30, 31

1 - Assimil FWT - Lesson 22, 23. I have lots of fun with the accent of the narrators.
Very enjoyable.

2 - Assimil FWE - Lesson 30, 31 - I'm very happy I didn't break the chain in 30 days.

3 - Pimsleur 3 - 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30. I finished all three levels in 31 days (First
mini milestone).

Pimsleur is great in terms of automatizing short phrases, small talk, and being able to
understand easy dialogs at natural speed – the ad “pull you inside a language, allowing
you to engage in complex conversations with confidence and fluency” is a lie. The
pronunciation is improved somewhat due the repetition of a native and getting you to
speak all the time “à haute voix”. But as everybody knows, it doesn't go too far.
Pimsleur programs are based in “Graduated Interval Recall” (each time you remember a
word or information longer than the time before) and “Principle of Anticipation” and it
is good at that, but it is not the best if you are going use as the only source of
knowledge of the language you are going to learn. I don't consider Pimsleur as a good
way to learn a language, BUT it is a helpful tool to complementary learning. It is
great listening over and over, for instance, to an expression or grammar construction I
learnt one or two days before in Assimil or vice-versa. Besides, for me, as I'm not an
English speaker, is annoying switch my brain back and forth with each language,
decoding twice each phrase... well that's MY problem anyway, but in Portuguese maybe
would be worse. Even though I know each word of the 3 volumes, I'm still far from my
goal.
