I have decided that after I complete the Heisig books, I will study Chinese and Japanese on alternate days. For now, I'll study them both every day, because I like to compare the characters side-by-side to figure out the differences, but later on I think it will help my concentration to focus on just one Asian language per day.
Today, I won't be learning any new characters. I just went through a couple hundred characters pretty fast, and I need a day to review and practice.
That would be great! I can't promise that my skills in the target language will be good enough to make a coherent response, but my philosophy is "the more input, the better". Thanks for following my log. :) Edited by Levi on 06 January 2010 at 7:08pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Mandarin & Japanese: - practiced characters on Skritter & Remembering the Kanji websites Spanish: - read Chapter 2 of Soy ateo Could have been more productive today. Will try harder next time. My Spanish is all coming back to me. I made it through a whole chapter of my book without looking anything up, and though I didn't understand every word, I understood the general meaning of every sentence, and did so with a decent reading speed.

SPA: Estuve curiosa leer la discussión sobre la canción del grupo mejicano Maná (me gusta la música!), pero "SpanishPod" es un curso de idiomas y cuesta dinero despues 7 dias. Te gusta la cualidad de los podcasts? Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 07 January 2010 at 5:17pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sí, son excelentes. Comencé escuchando los podcasts maravillosos de ChinesePod, y decidí pagar un poco más dinero para subscribirme al sitio completo, incluyendo FrenchPod, SpanishPod, EnglishPod y ItalianPod. Nunca he escuchado EnglishPod y ItalianPod, pero los otros son muy buenos. Edited by Levi on 07 January 2010 at 12:32pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Several factors came together to hinder my progress today. I had to work this morning, then I had company this afternoon, then I took a badly needed nap. But since then, I've managed to get to all my languages for the day at least a little bit. I will more than make up for the lost study time, as I have the next four days off of work. Mandarin: -listened to an episode of ChinesePod (Foot Therapy) Japanese: -learned 33 characters from Lesson 25 of Remembering the Kanji, practiced on Skritter and Reviewing the Kanji German: -listened...well, listening...to Deutsche Welle radio Edited by Levi on 08 January 2010 at 6:59am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Mandarin: -listened to an episode of ChinesePod (Qing Wen - 舍不得) -practiced characters on Skritter Japanese: -practiced characters on Skritter I felt another day was necessary to review the huge number of newly learned characters. Tomorrow I will soldier on with Lesson 24/25. French: -read some of Il était une fois nos ancêtres -listened to a French news broadcast from NHK World Edited by Levi on 09 January 2010 at 5:48am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Mandarin: -listened to an episode of ChinesePod (What's your animal sign?) -did Lesson 24 of Remembering Simplified Hanzi (59 characters), practiced on Skritter Japanese: -finished Lesson 25 of Remembering the Kanji (63 characters), practiced on Skritter and Reviewing the Kanji Spanish: -listened to two episodes of SpanishPod (La Candelaria and King's Cake) I passed the halfway point in Remembering Simplified Hanzi! And I'll be passing the halfway point in Remembering the Kanji in two days! I'm amazed at how fast you can learn the characters with this method. I'm starting to think about making changes to my schedule, but I'm not sure yet. For now I will stick to what I've been doing.

FR: Moi, je n'ai pas l'argent pour "les Pods" comme SpanishPod, FrenchPod, mais en ce moment-là je suis malade et pour cela je dois faire quelque chose utile au lit. Qu'est-ce que je fais? Je lis quelques "Easy Readers" en français que j'ai acheté en 1998(!!) et que j'ai pas encore lu. Par example "Tistou - les pouces verts" de Maurice Druon me plaît. Donc aujourd'hui je vais continuer ma lecture...
