Paskwc is right in assuming that I think FSI might be a bit tedious for yourself. The reason I thought this is you all ready speak four languages, and you probably can pick them up quickly. A lot of people find the FSI drills tedious. Personally, my learning style has adapted to appreciate them. There's also a bit of a misunderstanding as to what the drills are like. A number of people assume the progressive substitution drill simply involves replacing a word in a sentence, and the rest of the sentence is unchanged. This isn't quite true, as you need to focus on the elements of the sentence. E.g. Spanish: Sentence:A mí me gusta la taza. - I like the cup Prompt: él - He Sentence: A él le gusta la taza. - He likes the cup Prompt: zapatos - shoes Sentence: A él le gustan los zapatos. - He likes the shoes. I find these useful, as well as the transformation drills. The transformation drills usually involve changes in tense, case or number. E.g. Russian: Prompt: Я вас вижу - I see you. Sentence: Я вас видел - I saw you. Prompt: Онa вас видит - She sees you Sentence: Онa вас видела - She saw you. [Note: Please let me know if I've any errors in the Russian or Spanish] Edited by DaraghM on 19 January 2010 at 2:03pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks DaraghM, I understand now. Actually I like drills when learning a language. That's how I was taught Russian. I spent hours on end doing grammar exercices and I loved it!
Since Hebrew is a completely new language for me, I think FSI will be just right for me. The Spanish seems correct to me (but you shouldn't trust me on my Spanish yet), the Russian is correct. Molodets ;-). 1 person has voted this message useful |
