Thanks, Crush. That sounds like an awful lot of work. I think I will first contact the author in the hopes that the CDs have been rerecorded or remastered or whatever the correct audio term is. And yes, I'm using the so-called Russian Webcasts at the NLCRC.
DE: Dunkle Kammern: 130/512 Schlaflos in München: 13 episodes, most listened to twice TR: Reviewed all the model sentences in the first 11 lessons of Turkish in Three Months. Wrote out by hand some particularly illustrative sentences. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thank you for this. I will look into it. I have managed to be successful at adhering to my goal of spending 15 minutes a day on my neglected Turkish, but the flip side of this is that I'm now neglecting Russian. I've done no Russian whatsoever since my last post.

Much of my free time the last few days has been devoted to developing podcasts for my Latin classes. The learning curve was very steep -- dizzying, really -- because I had to learn how to use Audacity, how to use Gcast, what the heck RSS is, and so on. But I've been successful with it (barely), and, being an old guy (well, relatively), I'm pretty proud of myself! And I have to say I'm having a lot of fun with it.
My only progress has been: DE: Dunkle Kammern: 195/512 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Humorous anecdote from class today: (well, maybe you had to have been there.)
An 8th grade girl: "Mr. xxxxx, were ancient Roman kids just like us? Y'know, not doing what their parents expected of them? Just without all the technology?" Me: "I believe they were. I don't think human nature changes, fundamentally." 8th grader: "C'mon, Mom! Get with the times! Everyone's racing chariots!" ___ DE: Dunkle Kammern: 302/512 SiM: 18 episodes (2x each) RU and TR: Nothing. I opened the LangNet site with great intentions, but then didn't do anything...

Finished the Dunkle Kammern Krimi some time ago. Thought I'd try Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen since it seems to be so popular around here, and I'm reading it while listening to the audiobook. I really like the narrator; the German sounds so...smooth...and crunchy...and tasty. Kinda like this big box of to-die-for milk chocolate almond toffee one of my students gave me yesterday.
I love German. HP: 164/335 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I sense tremendous potential in the chocolate + language acquisition field of inquiry. I must investigate this. I think this method will work . . . I'm going to try it right now! Bribing the teacher: A time-honored tradition! Making your log readers hungry: That works, too. I should try the bilingual Harry Potter reading. I have not read them yet and am a bit behind the times in that respect. 1 person has voted this message useful |
