Pamiętam motto why crawl if you can walk, i ciężko usprawiedliwiać cokolwiek co temu przeczy nie wychodząc na idiotę, ale spróbuję:
インターネットの電子図書館、青空文庫へよ うこそ w pierwszej chwili niewiele, internet - no - krzaczory. W heisigu już napotkałem 5/9 z tych kanji. Co widzę: electricity - child - map - write - ?, ? ? ? warehouse. niby nic, ale teraz jak najade na to rikaichanem, to wszystko wydaje sie duzo bardziej logiczne. "Logiczne" to może trochę naciągane, ale łątwiejsze do skojarzenia. 死ぬ - z heisiga death - nu. Mimo to, w główce od razu usłyszałem to, co miałem usłyszeć, bo gdzieś już to słowo słyszałem, wiedziałem co znaczy, więc wystarczyło raz gdzieś rikaichanem zahaczyć i mi utkwiło w pamięci. Wydaje mi się, że te historyjki i słowa klucze szybko znikną jak zaczne czytać, ale przynajmniej na początku mam na czym się oprzeć. Wcześniej jak czytałem sobie jakieś lekcje w necie, Assimila, czy read japanese today to co najwyżej mogłem sobie przypomnieć czy było bardzo dużo czy tylko pare kresek. Rozumiem co mi chcesz powiedzieć, i dziękuję, ale ciągle uważam, że coś MI to daje. Kanji już mnie nie demotywują.

los protagonistas anónimos de Madrid tendrán su sitio en elmundo.es. Para muchos lectores, uno de los grandes males del periodismo actual es su lejanía de la calle, del mundo real.

my log now resembles swiss cheese so in an attempt to fix it I'm reposting some messages.

the 9 most devastating insults from around the world
I tried to post it in a separate thread, because I found it hilarious, and somewhat relevant to this forum, but it didn't even last 5 minutes. Enjoy -- A TAC update tomorrow Edited by Kubelek on 10 February 2010 at 1:52am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

LR of lord of the flies, la familia de Pascual Duarte (excellent! this time around I could appreciate the style, the language. After LRing several books I can really see the difference here.).
I read an annotated reader "prosa moderna del mundo hispanico (AMSCO)". It was a gift, but I've seen it online for around 8$. It is a collection of unabridged short stories with a glossary and less common vocab in the margin. I've had it for a long time, but even a couple of months ago it was rather hard going. Now when I picked it up I was happy to notice that I understood almost all of it without difficulty. No cramming was necessary, as I spotted most of the new words in Lord of the Flies on that same day. I love that synergy - anything you do brings you one step closer to fluency. ---- Heisig 1500 ---- Unblocking this forum on weekdays was a major mistake. I broke one of my TAC rules by doing so. It's the best way to waste several hours reading about languages you won't learn for the next 20 years :) I don't know what happened with the rest of my time. I have spent quite a bit of time reading random things in Spanish on the internet and reading about Japanese grammar, but I haven't studied nearly as much as I intended to. Same goes for LR. I know it's good for me, and I enjoy it, but more often than not when I have a choice - do LR on the computer, or read a real book wherever I want - I choose the real book. Printing parallel texts would probably solve the problem, but it seems wasteful to me, as I probably won't reread them. For Japanese I could consider it, but then I would lose the pop-up dictionary. Really, sometimes it seems that I achieve more when I'm very busy with school and with 4 hours of sleep every night, than when I have a week off. I'm off to Italy for a week. Perhaps I'll manage to buy some Spanish or French books at an airport. --------- Short term goals: read "Spanish stories - a Bantam dual-language book" by Angel Flores. It is an old book that I picked up for 1$, and it looks pretty advanced. It contains stories from authors such as Cervantes, Borges, Cela, Alarcón, Quiroga. I'm sure that I can learn a lot from it. Here is an amazon link to its sister book - French stories. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The dual reader I mentioned is interesting and well made, but I read through it to enjoy the content, not to ponder the intricacies of grammar. Other readers from this series can be found for under a dollar on amazon (+3$ shipping to the US), so you might want to consider adding them to your language bookshelf.
Right now I'm swamped with schoolwork to a point where it stresses me out to work on anything else than my school subjects, so TAC is on hold for now. I still review the 1500+ kanji I have added to anki, but I stopped adding new ones for now. My Spanish anki deck broke, after over a year of using it. I used dropbox for backup, and I had versions dating back a month to restore from. Turns out that your deck can break, and only show it after a month+. It was mildly frustrating because I had spent several hours recently adding new content to it, but since the majority of my reviews was material that I had learned well (even though I used to delete old boring facts regularly), I'm rather relieved overall. Most of my 2500 card deck became obsolete once I started LR anyway, because words that were not particularly obscure kept reappearing in books, words that I mined from press articles also quickly became very familiar and a lot of expressions and idioms that I added to my deck at one point were too rare to justify time spent on learning them. The point of my post is: SRS can be quite addicting, so use it in moderation and watch out for signs of this addiction. Take measures against boredom that it leads to.
