According to my statistics, I spend an average of 50 minutes a day on 220 words.
How many cards I add really depends on how my hands are feeling (I can add Hungarian words without typing by spelling them out, but I can't do that for Russian) and lately, as in the latest months, I haven't been adding a whole lot of words. I started adding more once just recently. On average I have added nine words a day for my Russian deck since I started it 12 months ago. For Hungarian that number is eight words a day since 8, 5 months ago. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That's impressive. 50 minutes a day for 220 words - I don't know if I will ever be able and willing of doing that. But chapeau!

I haven't done much since last time, however what I have done is great.
For Hungarian, I have continued working with the book I mentioned and I have added complete declination tables of pronouns for at least four cases, eight in total are used in the chapter I am working with and I added the ones I didn't already know. For Russian I finally got a language exchange partner in Oslo! The exchange is Russian versus Norwegian, which is a bit dodgy since my Norwegian isn't really native but we had our first Norwegian session today and it went very well. Plus we are too good a match when it comes to interests, personality and so on to mind about that minor detail (she's even a true Northerner!). We spoke nonstop Russian for at least 1 1/2 hours yesterday and even though she speaks Russian as quickly as I speak Swedish, and we were in a very noisy place, I understood almost everything. We are going to meet twice a week :) + some podcasts, but who cares, language exchange partner is waaaay cooler :D 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I can't really report much for Hungarian except for perhaps getting a language exchange partner there as well! We haven't met yet and we both have very busy schedules it seems so I will see if it works out. And Kisani here on the forum is starting a Hungarian study group so that will be interesting as well!
For Russian, I met with my new Russian friend on Monday and we looked through an essay I had written on Russian movies, some tongue twisters and generally spoke Russian! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Something happened to Oslo. I hear Russian at Uni and on the street every day. And I understand what they say 95% of the time! Isn't that some sort of breakthrough?

Hats off!
We are now waiting for Oslo to become half Hungarian as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks good folks!
Today I worked with Hungarian while at work and finished the first chapter of the book I'm working with. It is something like 17 pages of exercises and texts so I am rather pleased. It really helps that none of the texts have anything to do with each other; I don't get bored. While doing my exercises I add all the new words to Anki. Yesterday I received a little Hungarian booklet from Romania and I added words from that as well, words such as "scientific review" and "ethnography" :-) I am now at 2252 cards for Hungarian. I also managed to speak with Kisani on MSN in Hungarian yesterday which was fun, since it means I can actually use Hungarian (albeit slowly) to communicate in writing. These last two weeks I have seen the Russian movies Маленькая Вера & Утомленные солнцем, both of which I recommend!
