Sunday notes and To Do for the Week
So, I've reviewed my early post and other logs and I've noticed that my logs and style have changed quite a bit as has my focus. The idea of learning 3-4 new languages at the same time is not very productive for me. A mistake.
My weekly / daily focus should be DE>IT>SP>FR>EN>other.
I need to take care of the 5S's too...
To do for the week
(Tasks updated from my initial post in this thread)
German
- (R)DW website at east once, Continue reading "Der Andere"
- (V)At least 200 cards into Mnemosyne and keep up on SRS (starting at 791)
- (W)A short post a day (c'mon)
- (L)Radio or TV at least 3 hrs on top of the first pass Assimil 66-70
- (S)Daily conversations
Italian
- (G,R)Complete 3 ex. in the book I can't find at this instant (hmm)
- (L) Assimil 20-23
- (V) At least 50 words (100 cards)
French
- (R)Der Andere (book is bilingual so I get both in one shot)
- (W)3 emails, notes or posts
(other activity not on list)
Spanish

Gute Idee. Ich werde mit Mut darüber zu schreiben. Oft, und auch mit andere Sprache, ich kann so besser sprechen das ich finde schwierig und hemmend zu schrieben.

Mach dir keine Sorgen, die Leute auf den deutschen Threads sind richtig nett :-) Ich fühle der gegenteil: bei mir ist das Sprechen schwerer als schreiben.

Day Report
German
Excellent day with German, a couple of hours. Sunday is a biking day, so the podcast goes on and I roll to German.
Assimil 66 first pass, read (at home, morning coffee) and listened serveral times. Then the ipod flipped around all over previous lessons. I keep a playlist called "Active German" and only place one or two lessons there. Forgot to update it this week until now.
Slow News x2
Annick Reubens x2 (about an hour)
4-5 short posts here and there.
busuu.com for writing 2 short posts
SRS: 839
Italian
Assimil 18,19,20

Das ist warum du schreiben musst. Wenn du nicht schreibst, kannst du nicht deine Schrift verbessern, und es wird immer schwierig sein.

Ja, ich weiß, danke. ;) Es ist das einzige, was ich bin sehr faul. Ich brauche Energie, Bereitschaft und Zeit öfter zu schreiben.

Ich weiß dass du weißt. Ich wollte nur etwas auf Deutsch schreiben, weil ich das gleiche Problem habe. ;)
