I can understand lots of spoken German, read articles, have a conversation, but I still
feel inadequate. Exactly a year ago, when I joined this forum, my German was awful. I started learning new words, and I went to Germany for 4 months and came back much much better. But it isn't good enough, and I want to be fluent. I hate it when I hear a word I don't understand, and I just want to know everything there is to know in the language. Strong points: I have a pretty good accent (recordings later) Weak Points: my grammar is fairly awful, especially my grasp of prepositions my vocabulary is not awful, but it is inadequate if I want to be fluent. My Plan: I wasn't planning on making this log, but I'm hoping that it will motivate me once I know other people are watching me. I seem to go in cycles of high motivation and cycles where I worry more about other things in life. Right now I'm in a German cycle, so I should take advantage of it! Primary material will be: -->Schlaflos in Muenchen podcast von Annik Rubens (I like it a lot) -->Online Articles (i.e Der Spiegel, used for translation) -->Dictionary ( I am a user of the Iversen word list method) -->Books ( I own a few German books, but they are too advanced, all philosophic texts which I hope to read someday) -->Chatting (perhaps, I'm not sure how much time I'll have for this) --> German forums online (I've registered for one, I'd like to practice OUTPUT because most of my studying is INPUT) SO - by 2011, I want to look back at THIS year just as I'm able to look back on 2008 and be amazed at how much I've improved. I want fluency, and I'm getting closer. Today: -Schlaflos in Muenchen 20 Minuten -verschiedene Woerter nachgeschlagen (wie immer) *bonus* ein bisschen Niederlaendisches Radio angehoert (I'd like to learn Dutch as well, but I'm not going to lie to myself: German and all the other things I have on my plate are PLENTY) please encourage me! Frohes neues Jahr :) Edited by Recht on 01 January 2010 at 8:36am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Also, next week I plan to go into German isolation for much of the day. I have
obligations that will require me to speak English and be in an English environment, but I hope hearing massive amounts of German + studying etc. will jump start my TAC 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Good luck. German is a great language and there's so much good stuff available to read or listen to.

Dieses Forum habe ich in meiner Vorstellung und Uebersicht oben erwaehnt: http://www.ioff.de/index.php? Ich habe eigentlich noch nicht gepostet. Ich habe registriert weil es so viele Leute gibt, tatsaechlich eine der groessten Foren im Internet Mit so viele Mitglieder,gibt es wahrscheinlich jemandem, der hilfreich ist. -Heute- (bis jetzt) 20 Minuten Schlaflos in Muenchen aufmerksam angehoert Ich werde mehr spaeter studieren Edited by Recht on 02 January 2010 at 1:31am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

-30 Minuten von Schlaflos in Muenchen angehoert, Das Thema war ueber Fotografie und hab
ich gut gefallen. Es ist schwer (fuer mich)ein Podcast anzuhoeren, ohne was anders zu machen (zb mit meinem Laptop zu spielen, Facebook zu checken usw) - 10 minuten von verschiedene Lieder, Annett Louisan - Woerter, die ich in dem Podcast gehoert habe ich nachgeschlagt und bei Leo hinzugefuegt (es gibt ein Programm, das Woerter anordnet. Wenn ich ein neues Wort entdecken, dann fuege ich es hinzu, um spaeter es zu studieren) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
