Argh! I just realized that I only have one month before I leave to Italy. I also haven't studied in few last days. I have been working much because I need money to the trip and I also have to pay my rent and other stuff. But I still don't work that much because just yesterday I played my Nintendo DS. I actually play a game which I bought to my vacation. So I am ruining my studies and my vacation plans at the same time. (Of course I am not going to only play my DS in Italy, I have lots of other stuff to do also.)
To do today: Review all grammar that I have learned. Reread all the dialogs. Listen Italian at least 10 minutes, Unfortunately I have to go to work soon and I'll be back about 22.30 and I have morning shift tomorrow so I can't be up late. I hope I can do everything today and start studying more from now on. I really need some encouragements now! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Forza, Elegia! Ce la puoi fare! E soprattutto, prova a divertirti, non prendere lo studio come qualcosa di "necessario". Non sei a scuola :-) (sorry, in Italian and without translation, at least for now :D ) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ok, I really don't have to study Italian but I want to speak best Italian that I can. I have new and better attitude now. I want to learn Italian and it is my own decision because no one isn't going to make me do it but I. Today I already listen about ½ hour Italian and I at least understood what was the subject they were talking. I also read couple pages from easy Italian reader and I understood it easily. I'll go study now so I could achieve my today's goals. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I almost reviewed all grammar. I only missed two lessons because I believe that I don't learn anything when I am tired. And after work I am really tired. I also studied dialogs from lesson 6 (that is the next lesson). I understood dialogs easily and I only looked couple words from dictionary.
Today I read the rest of the grammar and dialogs. It isn't very much so I try to do more tomorrow. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Today I listened Italian tv about an hour but it was more like background noise and I wasn't paying attention to it. But when I did listen it I actually understood what they were talking about.
I also studied the grammar from lesson 6 and tomorrow I am going to do the exercises. And hopefully something more. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Today I listened about an hour Italian tv. But it was still just background music. I tried to concentrate to it and I noticed that I knew what they were talking about. I have really weak background with Spanish but I feel how it help me sometimes. And also confuses me.
I went to work tonight and then I watched Eurovisions so I wasn't as hard-working as I could have been. However my excuse is that I was so stunned that we get into finals. I liked the lyrics and the music but I didn't actually believe that we would make it. After Eurovisions I reviewed grammar and started lesson 6 exercises. I did about half of them. I do the rest of them tomorrow and translate dialogs from lesson 7. I hope I have time to read my easy reader and watch Italian tv.

Study summary (21.5.)
Reading my Italian easy reader: 10 minutes It was my day off so I thought that I could have done more. Today I have to go to work but I am so much more motivated. I am generally much more motivated when I have to go work and I wonder why. Maybe it has something to do with a fact that I have less time when I work and I don't think that I can study later. Now I am listening Italian internet tv. Only good one I have found is RAI News and I was wondering how good Italian are they talking. It sounds good but I wander if it is mainstream Italian or dialect. If somebody know please tell me. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

(Based on what I see on Rai3 in the early morning) Rai News 24 should be just Italian. Keep in mind that most Italian people, even newsanchors, keep some of their local accent. EDIT: I don't know if the satellite Rai News 24 is the same as your internet tv. By the way, I recall having seen links for Italian podcasts on this forum. On www.rai.it there also are many available old TV and radio programs. Edited by Leopejo on 22 May 2008 at 3:13am 1 person has voted this message useful |
