I'm second this opinion. It would a huge benefit for this community, in whatever language you chose to log. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Iversen, i would also be interested in seeing a log by you so i think im 'thirding' the opinion.
As for your dilema of posting in a new language, you could get around it by posting what youre saying once in English and then underneath that what you are saying in the target language. Then all you're doing is logging your progress in a way which others aren't doing, by displaying what you've learnt. I hope this suggestion proves remotely useful as I'm sure nobody would have a problem with you doing that as you're breaking no rules because you're simply giving examples of learning and either way i would still like to see your study methods in a log. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Maybe we could amend that rule. I suppose providing a translation would be to much work (??) I wouldn't be able to write an interesting log completely in my target language but I'd like to practice writing about my day. If I were to provide a translation I could learn through critique.

Haha! Good point. Now I see I was just making an excuse for myself. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Alea jacta est.
I have put my new Loggy in the multilingual subforum, which of course is the wrong solution. It just took me something like one hour to write the first burp on paper, but no less than three hours to make a few corrections (not nearly enough!) and to transfer the hideous result to the screen, - it takes forever to write in Greek because I write so rarely in that language on a keyboard that I have to pick the letters one by one from Word's symbol insertion box (I have a Greek keyboard installed, but I forget where the Greek letters are placed). Even Icelandic with all those accents is a pain in the lower part of the back. In spite of that I do feel that writing such a monster thing in funny languages is both instructive and entertaining (at least for me), and writing stuff in different languages to be scrutinized by the honoured members of this noble forum will surely serve as a booster for the development of my active skills and an antidote to my secret wish to skip the error correction phase. EDIT: ... and please don't expect me to translate everything into English. Maybe some other language, but there is already too much English in the multilingual forum. EDIT: I have moved my log to the log forum at this address Edited by Iversen on 29 November 2008 at 2:05am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Maybe this will spawn a whole bunch of multilingual logs and we'll see more language exchange (sans English).
I think it's great! I was just in there and tried as best I could to follow your and Fasulye's comments in Italian. Will you have time to cater to all the responses and keep with your log as well? Edited by Sunja on 28 November 2008 at 5:41pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I hope so - and I hope others will make something of the same kind. We spend too much time in that forum hoping that somebody else will ressuscitate the dormant threads. Now at least one thread will be updated regularly.

The only problem (if you can call it that) with your log, Iversen, is that less accomplished language learners like me can't gain much from it. I'd love to read about what you're doing, but I've not studied any of the languages you're writing in, and I want to continue my studies with French and Russian before throwing any more onto the heap.
Oh well; perhaps some day. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful |
