This week's goals: - ES Reading: 105 pages 299 pages (285%) - ES Listening: 4:40' 7:02' (151%) --- He regresado a Noruega el sábado y por fin he dejado de ser estudiante en Bath; presentó mi «final year project» el jueves. Pensaba que iba a ser más difícil que realmente era y fue positivamente sorprendido. También fue el primero 17 de mayo (día nacional de Noruega) desde 2012 que estaba en Noruega, pero yo hizo nada ese día excepto a izar (y más tarde, arriar) la bandera, porque mis padres están en Turquía y mis amigos y parientes no estaban aquí en este pueblo. Empecé a leer el quinto libro de Harry Potter por que no tenía nada más que quería leer el lunes, pero más tarde esta semana discubrí (y compré) Cien años de soledad (Gabriel García Márquez) y El asesino de la Vía Láctea (Gabriel Martínez) - es decir que yo ya tengo libros para unas pocas semanas... --- The aims for next week: - JP Reading: 70 pages (105/140 for 150%/200%) - JP Listening: 4:40' (7:00'/9:20' for 150%/200%) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

This week's goals: - JP Reading: 70 pages 90 pages (129%) - JP Listening: 4:40' 7:50' (168%) This week I developed a PHP code to help me keep track of my reading and listening. (more automatically than Excel at least). I'm yet to make a read-only feature (along with a short description to log what I'm listening to, so the numbers wouldn't be completely meaningless). Screenshot: http://tinyurl.com/o2gzgcm (warning: tinyurl) Apart from that, I haven't done much worth mentioning in Japanese except from finishing the second The Familiar of Zero book. I'm probably not going to read the third book; although the second half of the book was decent, it still felt like one of those cheap fan-service ridden animes in book form. The summer break just started (well, I finished my degree course), and I intend to start spending more time with practicing my active skills (the lack of said practice is the reason for not writing this in Japanese) in both Spanish and Japanese. As weird as it might sound, I feel like my Spanish is already getting better than my Japanese. The switching between languages only applies to passive immersion and not practice of active skills. I'm not sure how I'm going to do active practice though; I've never done any language exchanges before, and I think finding Japanese people who are learning Norwegian will be quite a challenge. --- The aims for next week: - ES Reading: 140 pages (210/280 for 150%/200%) - ES Listening: 7:00' (10:30'/14:00' for 150%/200%) Edited by stifa on 25 May 2015 at 8:40pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

This week's goals: - ES Reading: 140 pages 301 pages (215%) - ES Listening: 7:00' 14:38' (209%) Output challenge (Spanish, writing only): 1069 / 50000 (2%) The 1069 words are from log entries (starting 1st March), including the one below. --- Continué a leer el quinto libro de Harry Potter, lo que puedo terminar el próximo semana en que estudiaré español. Después de habré leído este libro, voy a leer unos otros libros antes de que leeré el próximo libro de Harry Potter. Pienso que necesitaría la variación. Además he decidido apuntarme en el Output Challenge, pero no estoy seguro que quiere compartir todo lo que habré escrito. Sin embargo, voy a probar hacer unos de los writing prompts o los retos mensuales y compartir los resultos. Casi la mitad de los 14 horas de ensayo de comprensión auditiva es de El ministerio del tiempo, una serie española que me gustaba mucho. Esa serie se trata de la viaje atraves del tiempo y un ministerio secreto español que correctan los errores pequeños históricos, de que unos son hechos por otros viajeros temporales. --- The aims for next week: - JP Reading: 70 pages (105/140 for 150%/200%) - JP Listening: 7:00' (10:30'/14:00' for 150%/200%) Output challenge: 2500 by 7th June (The reading goals are based on reading speed 70 pages ~= 7 hours of reading) Edited by stifa on 16 June 2015 at 3:13pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

This week's goals: - JP Reading: 140 pages 125 pages (179%) - JP Listening: 7:00' 11:10' (160%) More details: Click here --- Output challenge (Spanish, writing only): 2501 / 50000 (5%) Some entries: El gato, el armario y los cuadros Translation of the East Asian languages group's May challenge. Click here for the original. Las desconocidas An attempt at writing a longer story. A dystopic kind of story where humans arrived at another world (with no idea how they got there, and not knowing that it's their own world millions of years into the future) but failed to subjugate the local race and instead became the second-class citizens. The story is set a few hundred years after the first encounter. It's mostly based on a really old idea of mine (which explains why it is a bit silly), and I only really write it for my own enjoyment (as well as racking up some words for the Output Challenge; it's much easier to make up stuff than to actually write about personal memories and the like). I'm done with the second part of it, but I want to correct it a bit first. --- I started reading 隠蔽捜査 by 今野敏, and is about a quarter through it now. Reading crime fiction in Japanese is definitely interesting, although I'd prefer if it was more about the crimes rather than Ryuzaki's rather conservative opinions. What I found was that I read a lot faster when I didn't bother processing all the readings (something that often took a while due to all the names, whose readings were presented only once) and just powered through the sentences. As for listening, I mostly binge-watched a Minecraft let's play by the youtuber アブ, mostly because it wasn't frustrating at all following what he said for some reason. With animes or other media, I'm still having some trouble understanding everything. --- The aims for next week: - ES Reading: 140 pages (210/280 for 150%/200%) - ES Listening: 7:00' (10:30'/14:00' for 150%/200%) Output challenge: 4000 by 14th June (The reading goals are based on reading speed 140 pages ~= 7 hours of reading) Edited by stifa on 16 June 2015 at 3:13pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

This week's goals: - ES Reading: 140 pages 281 pages (201%) - ES Listening: 7:00' 15:53' (227%) More details: Click here --- Output challenge (Spanish, writing only): 3617 / 50000 (7%) New entries: Mi pueblo natal (Writing prompt) 2. El alcalde 3. La búsqueda I'm considering posting one of them on Lang-8; maybe the first one after I've polished it a bit. --- Esta semana no he hecho nada diferente de la semana anterior, salvo que no he visto tanto TV como en la semana 22. Ví un episodio de Isabel, pero no podía entender bastande de lo que decían, y por eso no tenía la motivación para contuar mirando a la serie. Además terminé leer el quinto libro de Harry Potter y he decidido hacer una pausa de Harry Potter. He comprado unas libros electrónicos para leer en las próximas semanas: El asesino de la Vía Lactéa (G. Martínez), El país de las lágrimas (M. Escobar) y Cien años de soledad (G. G. Márquez). También he decidido aprender holandés, o mejor dicho, he aprendídolo de vez en cuando desde hace seis meses (empezó con Duolingo en diciembre), pero ya no he aprendido mucho. El único objetivo que tengo a diario es hacer mis «Anki reviews» y añadir cinco tarjetas nuevas. No estoy seguro que puedo alcanzar 50,000 palabras para el «Output Challenge» porque no estoy seguro de que quiero escribir. He probido uno de los Writing Prompts en el thread y escribir un poco para mi «cuenta sin nombre». --- The aims for next week: - JP Reading: 70 pages (140/210 for 150%/200%) - JP Listening: 7:00' (10:30'/14:00' for 150%/200%) Edited by stifa on 16 June 2015 at 3:14pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Cien años de soledad es un verdadero clásico de la literatura mundial por no decir nada de la literatura en castellano. Pero, ten cuidado porque una porción del vocabulario es arcano y, además, únicamente colombiano. La edición impresa que yo tengo, proviene de la RAE y hay un glosario adentro con definiciones para ayudarte. No sé si la versión electrónica tiene un glosario o no. Para mi, prefiero El amor en los tiempos del cólera a Cien años.
¡Buena suerte con el holandés! Al fin de aprenderlo, tendrás la facilidad con todos los idiomas germánicos. Estoy impresionado con tus resultados en el español, stifa. ¡Continúe avanzando por este camino! Edited by iguanamon on 15 June 2015 at 9:46pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

This week's goals: - JP Reading: 70 pages 128 pages (182%) - JP Listening: 7:00' 12:34' (180%) More details: Click here --- Output challenge (Spanish, writing only): 4007 / 50000 (8%) Only one new entry this week. --- Nothing worth mentioning really, I continued reading 隠蔽捜査 and start to get more into the story now, as it started focusing on more interesting themes rather than Ryuzaki's conservative mindset. As for listening, I kept watching Jikkyou play videos on YT and tried to look for native podcasts without finding anything that I really enjoyed. At the end of next week, I'll be heading to my graduation ceremony in Bath, and while I'm in Bath, I'm not sure how much time I can spend on languages. --- The aims for next week: - ES Reading: 140 pages (210/280 for 150%/200%) - ES Listening: 7:00' (10:30'/14:00' for 150%/200%) Output challenge: 4000 by 14th June (The reading goals are based on reading speed 140 pages ~= 7 hours of reading) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Sorry for the delay, I spent most of this week in Bath, where I had my graduation
cereemony earlier this week, and I didn't bring my laptop... --- This week's goals: - ES Reading: 140 pages 296 pages (211%) - ES Listening: 7:00' 15:52' (227%) More details: Click here --- He leído El asesino de la Vía Láctea y escuchado el audiolibro de El último cliente. Entender audiolibros en español fue más fácil que he esperado, puede ser que no hay otras fuentes de sonido salvo la voz del narrador. A la fin del semana iba a Inglaterra para mi ceremonia de graduacion y por eso he terminado el libro en seis días. Pienso que el próximo libro que leeré en español, Cien años de soledad, va a ser más difícil. --- The aims for next week: - Read El país de las lagrimas by Mario Escobar --- Summary of books I've read in my target languages so far so far (5th July, ~1st half of TAC 2015) German Herbstmilch (Wimschneider A) Milchgeld.
