Thanks for sharing your story with us Adi.
learnhebrewpod is a fantastic resource. When I signed up there were only about 20 lesson released. When I get back into Hebrew they should have released into the advanced lessons which will be nice.
I also have to deal with time management.
Lack of time management = distractability + procrastination. :D
Keep up the good work.

If I remember correctly there are about 44 up now. They are still doing intermediate lessons at this point, which is
about where I'm holding. I hope they will start releasing advanced lessons soon!

I finished the beginning Michel Thomas course in Russian. Today I'm going to begin the advanced and hopefully
finish it tomorrow. After I finish the Advanced course I still have 60 odd lessons of Pimsleur to finish and I'm
also planning on trying to obtain the Michel Thomas vocabulary course. I have over a month before I have to get
creative and come up with my own study method! I'm hoping to obtain an Assimil course but if I'm unable to, I'll
get the Penguin course I'll probably also need to buy a reader at that point.
Hebrew: I've been neglecting it. I will study for 30-45 minutes today. I'll take out that Biblical Hebrew reader or
do one of the Hebrew Pod lessons.

I finished disc 2 of 5 of the Michel Thomas Advanced course. I probably wont manage to finish it tomorrow, but I
can certainly complete it by Friday afternoon.
I was having a conversation with a friend in Hebrew today and I accidentally substituted a Russian word. I think it's
because I'm focusing so much on Russian this week and have not been studying Hebrew. Furthermore, I will not
have the time to learn Hebrew tonight like I said I would...I'm sure I'll catch up with my Hebrew lessons after I finish
Michel Thomas and I'm back in the boring world of Pimsleurland.

So I've been listening to the Michel Thomas Advanced Russian course and I'm starting not to understand some of
the grammar explanations. I have a long subway ride to take today, so I think I will repeat the course from the
beginning to reinforce some ambiguities. I still hope to finish the course by Friday because I need to focus my
weekend on studying maths.

I have a question: how do you achieve immersion in Hebrew away from Israel? I have wanted to learn Hebrew for some time, but can't find a wealth of autio/visual resources on the Internet that would allow me to immerse myself in the language. Do you know some good TV or radio stations that can be accessed over the Internet?
