German: I did lesson 22 of Assimil German: 20 minutes. Italian: I did lesson 25 of Assimil Italian: 25 minutes. Spanish: I went to class today. 45 minutes.

Catalan: I did Assimil Catalan lesson 10 and TY Catalan Lesson 2 Dialogue 1. 31 minutes.
German: I did Assimil German Lesson 24 and MT German Disc 2. I did MT German Disc 1 a few days ago, so I might as well add an hour to this. 136 minutes Italian: I did Assimil Italian Lesson 27. 15 minutes. Spanish: I went to class today. 50 minutes. Hindi: I practiced the vowels and the velar consonants and learned the palatal consonants. 14 minutes I do some pretty relaxed reviewing throughout the day, but I don't include it in the time spent studying.

I've been extremely busy this weekend and today, so the only thing I can say that I did is went to my Spanish class. I've been reviewing my Assimil lessons a few times, but I don't know how long that totaled, and that was just review, so...

Ok so I suppose I got burnt out. :D
School got in the way, I've had some medical issues, new interests, etc. Anyway, I'm back! Still studying Spanish and French, I'm taking a Spanish Lit class and a German 1 class online for my uni. Not really learning Italian per se, but learning to understand it more. Same with Catalan. I'm not too interested in output at the moment. I'm saving Hindi for another time. I've been flirting with a lot of languages, trying to overcome wunderlust, but unsuccessfully! Russian and Persian keep knocking at my door... Anyway, I've been home for a month and I'm back into languages. I'll try to keep a decent log this time around! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

So I've decided that I WILL start this back up again.
The languages I'll be actively studying are Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Indonesian. My plans for learning these languages are as follows: Spanish - continue and finish my Spanish Lit class. I also chat with people online in Spanish all the time. German - continue and finish my German 1 class. This class is a joke, so I'll find something else to do as well, probably. French - I have Harry Potter et l'ecole des Sorciers along with the audio. I'll probably do L-R or something like that. If not, then I'll just read it with the audio. I have other materials as well, but I want to try out Harry Potter. Russian - I'll be using Le Nouveau Russe Sans Peine using the shadowing method. It'll be my first time shadowing. Indonesian - I will be using Linguaphone Indonesian and whatever I can find online. I can probably also get Pimsleur in Russian and Indonesian if I think I need help with pronunciation. I don't plan on spending `too much` time on Russian and Indonesian, they're more like side projects right now. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

So, as far as formal learning goes...
German - completed half a lesson for my course. Spanish - Completed half a lesson, tomorrow I'm reading and answering questions about "El Eclipse" Russian - shadowed the first two lessons of Le Russe Sans Peine. I'm not yet looking at the meanings, just learning pronunciation. I went through the two lessons around 10 times each. Indonesian - Studied the introduction to Linguaphone. It's almost 2am here and I only went through it sixish times, so I know I won't remember all of it. Will go through it again tomorrow. 1 person has voted this message useful |
