I thought it would be interesting to get a snaphot of a typical months study by forum members for this one particular month. I'm especially interested in those who study a number of languages, but don't keep a log.
Here's the questions, 1. How many hours roughly per week did you average this month ? 2. What resources did you use for your study ? 3. Did you make any interesting discoveries about your target language(s) ? 4. Did you have any upsets to your study plans, and what were they ? It might be interesting to compare this snaphot, with another taken at a late date. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

gbarv, this kind of second thoughts is uncalled for. What's important is your own progress, not the comparision to others.
Okay, I'll try, too. 1.) Japanese 15-20 hours, Spanish 8 hours of classes a week, 30 hours of work with Spanish children and the odd time that comes with living with a target language family in a target language country. 2.) TV shows and ame-piggu chat for Japanese, a textbook and immersion for Spanish :3 3.) All the time. Little discoveries like how in my different languages the words "to come/to go/to walk/to go for a walk" contrast or overlap each other. 4.) I'm having a cold (or the flu) and that seriously tampers with my mental processing capacity. And I need to sozialize more, no matter how difficult it is.

1. How many hours roughly per week did you average this month ?
Well I try to average 30 mins a day on my target language be it formal study or just immersing myself in the language via music or whatever. 2. What resources did you use for your study ? Michel Thomas, Linguaphone and Berlitz essential Spanish 3. Did you make any interesting discoveries about your target language(s) ? Only that the grammar is reassuringly similar to Italian/French both languages I've studied before. So really I just need to learn vocab and pronunciation. 4. Did you have any upsets to your study plans, and what were they ? Being a full time PhD student and training for long distance running events are my main distractions. However, once I move to the Canary Islands in September I will be fully immersed and therefore have more opportunity to practise/learn :) PS Gbarv: People generally don't patronise around here, besides your number of studying hours are greater than mine currently! ^_^ Quality not quantity as they say! 1 person has voted this message useful |
