always mark the indirect object with the clitic pronoun
Thank you. This will take some getting used to. I watched some youtube shorts over using Indirect and Direct together. They were interesting and while I now understand their order of placement when writing the sentence out, speaking will take some time. One guy had a word play to help me remember; "Indirect before Direct and Reflexive before all = R.I.D." I will keep at it. Thanks to you both (James and Crush). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Still moving along with FSI. I have not spent the time I needed to on it because work has really been time consuming. But my learning is an endurance race not a sprint. I received my Barrons' FSI level 2 in the mail today. I like having the book in my hands. The six dollars total including tax and shipping is money well spent.

OK, I am working on Unit 15 FSI while listening to audio programs as well. I have only two more days before getting on a plane for Querétaro, Mexico. I am looking forward to having a good time while seeing the city. We will also go to the city of Guanajuato while we are in the area. Both cities are high on my list of Mexican cities I have never visited. It should be a fun and interesting trip.
The last couple of days I have reduced my FSI and worked more on conversational stuff(audio programs). Also, I pretend to be in different settings and have conversations (with myself). The good news is I ALWAYS make myself understood...to myself. :) Anyway, I will check in after our little journey and hope that I will be able to see an improvement from my last trip to Mexico in terms of speaking and more importantly being able to understand and follow the conversations (my weakest area by far).

Espero que te guste, espero también que saquen el curso completo pronto. Personalmente estoy esperando ansiosamente que completen el curso de griego :)

"Tu castellano ha mejorado tanto que casi ni me lo puedo creer"
Don't be too impressed. This sentence for example, I would have left the "me" out and used "no" vs "ni". I would have said "Tu castellano ha mejorado tanto que casi no lo puedo creer." and it would have taken me 10 minutes to come up with it. :) In 6 months, I will be better at this. I used to operate off some sort of timer in my head (Be "fluent" by 12-31-14). It was as if I would reach the "end" of something. But the truth is, there will be no end to this. It will be forever to one extent or another. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
