Chatzilla works great. You can also try http://mibbit.com/ if you don't want to install anything.

HUNGARIAN
Done Assimil 3 & 4 as well as Pimsleur 1 & 2. Pimsleur got A LOT less boring when I realized I could knit at the sime time as I listen to it :) (with some dashing to the pause button, but that is manageable) Assimil is great so far, but I really don't feel like I'm learning all the words just by reading and listening and writing the stuff once. So tomorrow I'll start making a Anki deck for Hungarian as well. I will also copy out all the texts that I've done so far. I've gotten into the habit of reading through the new day's Assimil lesson as I eat breakfast every morning, and I will do my best to continue with this. Didn't learn many new words today from my flashcards, just reviewed the old ones and tried to learn 5 new ones. But they were all 15 letter words and I failed miserably. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Congratulations on flying through the Hungarian Assimil. How long is it taking for each lesson ? It takes me about three to four breakfast sessions, of 15 minutes each, to complete a lesson.

Thanks! I'm not really sure, I never ever tend to do only one thing at a time. Perhaps I work with it for 30 minutes or so. I try to listen to the audio on my way to work as well, at least once. When I used Assimil for Russian I progressed quite slowly, got bored, and stopped after lesson 16. I'm trying to not repeat that this time and do stuff quickly instead. My breakfast session now are perhaps 5 minutes long and take place at 5.40 in the morning, so I only look through what I have time for before dashing out to catch the tram. -- HUNGARIAN Did the 5th Assimil and the 3rd Pimsleur. Both feel like they are getting easier and easier. I've decided to not put any Assimil words in Anki. I *really* don't know them all, but I'm going to trust the Assimil method and just relax about it ;) Regarding the flashcards I have done (and think I know them) 37 altogether (= 45-50 words, quite a lot of cards have two or three words), and I will review them all tomorrow, and try to add perhaps 20 new ones. I won't be able to read much tomorrow at work, so I will do flashcards instead. RUSSIAN Skype session of perhaps 20 or 25 minutes. I really need more practice. Holding a conversation on a not too specific subject is quite doable though. My Russian Hero of course slows down his speech a bit, and when I then sometimes still don't understand it *is* often not a question of lacking vocabulary, but simply of never having heard that word being spoken, and thus not being used to it. So it takes a couple of seconds of "uuuuh..." before I have recognized the word. On the whole, it is going well though. I should probably get better at conjugating certain verbs though. Such as печь. I'm amazingly poor at switching between languages though. I said the title of a book in French and then continued in French for half a sentence -_- NORWEGIAN I will write an email to a Norwegian girl tomorrow on lang-8. I've done more writing in Norwegian by communicating with her than by actually writing posts so far! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Wehell, back in business.
HUNGARIAN Where am I at now? Not much Pimsleuring, I'm afraid. The knitting got to a critical point, and I feel less prone to do Pimsleur when I need to read knitting instructions at the same time. I've done half part 5 though. Assimil: done the revision (chapter 7) and copied out all the texts so far, and done chapter 8. Flashcards: Ehm... right. Tomorrow! Leopejo sent me this link http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases/hungarian.php, and seeing that list was kind of like seeing a very beautiful woman. Very motivating, or something! I'm going to study that list for a while now. RUSSIAN The reading documented in the other log + a lang-8 post. FRENCH (well, why not?) Listening to "Le parfum" as I knit, 2 hours perhaps. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

HUNGARIAN
Done Assimil lesson 9 and repeated my flashcards from last week. Will bring a couple of new ones tomorrow as well. Tomorrow I will review the exercises from the Assimil chapters, since those are something I don't think I know very well -_- I relistened to chapter 5 of Pimsleur. I *must* do chapter 6 tomorrow or I will definitely forget the new words. FRENCH Wrote a lang-8 post. 1 person has voted this message useful |
