FR: Peut-être je peux écrire quelques lignes en français ou espagnol ou, si je ne suis pas trop timide, en allemand. Il faut dire que je suis assez impressionné par les fil d'Iversen. C'est une bonne exercise.
DE: Aber ich weiß nicht, was ich will schrieben. Heute, ich arbeit zu hause und kann diese morgens ein stunde mehr Sprachübungen machen. ES: Pero como mi esposa no esta aquí estos dos días tengo que hacer todo en la casa solo y estoy un poco cansado. Necesito pasar mas tiempo trabajando mi vocabulario alleman y menos tiempo jugando con el Internet. Este sito siempre es una lucha de equilibrio entre leer sobre lo que los otros están haciendo y mis estudios. Ahora estoy escuchando Duetsche-Welle Langsam gesprochene Nachrichten. Ya! Trabajo llama! _____ EN: Perhaps I can write a few words in French, Spanish or, if I am not too timid, in German. I have to say that I am impressed by Iverson's thread. It's a good exercise. But I don't know what I will write. Today, I am working from home and can this morning do another hour of language work. But as my wife is not here these days, I need to do everything in the house alone and I am a little tired. I need to spend more time working mi vocabulary in German and less time playing with the Internet. This site is always balancing struggle between reading about what other's are doing and my studies. Now I am listening to Duetsche-Welle Langsam gesprochene Nachrichten. Yes! Work calls! Edited by zenmonkey on 07 May 2009 at 9:51am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think I need to summarize for myself a reminder of what my variant L-R Method should be: 1) Know your text; read it in English (source language). 2) L-R (TT): Read a small amount of the text in German (target), while listening to the audio. 3) L-R (TS): Listen to target audio, with text in a source language. 3.5) Pre-shadow (shadowing with closed eyes in front of the computer, focused on the rhythm and word understanding) 4) Shadow (vocalization and usage, vocal output training) 5) Scriptorium (visual conclusion and written output) Actual German Assimil 54 - shadowing/scriptorium completed. Moving to next lesson. Lesson 55 - Listening-Reading, Shadow x 3. L.BVG - 6.3 5 new words. Italian Assimil 11 - prepared up to pre-shadowing. Chinese Pimsleur 3 - review 50%. ___ L.BGV - Sections reviewed to date 5.6-.9,6.1,6.3-.5 Edited by zenmonkey on 08 May 2009 at 2:54pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks for the compliment. I enjoy reading your log as well. One quick tip about Irish names is that Daragh is the male version of Dara, but pronounced the same way. Cheers, Daragh. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sorry, Daragh. Thanks for the tip.
--- Looked at the organization of my word lists and checked out the IRC chat -- not really language learning, more like bookshelving - an expression my wife and I use for busy work. flashcards: Decided to keep things simple - one database in Mnemosyne for all German - I keep the Assimil stuff classified by lesson and the rest is hodgepodge default category. But that does not work for the Flash my Brain application on the iPod, I need to do sets I can export. So back to classifying cards by chapter. May 9th 2009 - Day 128 After getting my cards reorganized - updated my flashcard software Actual German Cards - entered LBVG 6.1-.5 (100+ cards!) - learning and repetitions. Assimil 55 - Shadowing.. Italian Listened to Assimil 11-13. Lesson 10 - LR. Chinese LR - Assimil 5, Cards. ___ L.BGV - Sections reviewed to date 5.6-6.5 Edited by zenmonkey on 10 May 2009 at 12:04am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Started the day with card review and got the girls involved - they know about 50% of my study set off the bat, which is pretty good and the older ones can do them in 3 languages.
I need to create reduced sets (remove spaces) of the Assimil German tapes. We'll go see a movie in German in the afternoon. LR Exercise and material - Ich finde die Deutsche Welle Top-Thema Doku ausgezeichnet. 1) Download Top Thema automatically via podcast 2) Find the article and copy paste it into Google translate 3) Perfect LR exercise! And usually interesting. Day 129 - Objectives Continue on yesterday's excellent day. Create material for the week, try SRS with fill-in phrases on Chinese, see if that helps. Actual German Cards - review. Added cards down to 5.6 - 10 cards or so. Deutsche Welle Top-Thema: Essen ohne Geld. Created audio files for the week. Went to see Monster and Aliens in German with the girls. Tried out busuu.com - breezed through the first A1 lessons. Italian Listened to L10 Chinese Mea culpa ___ L.BGV - Sections reviewed to date 5.6-6.5 Edited by zenmonkey on 10 May 2009 at 10:43pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Day 130 - Objectives
I've decided to ad fill-in phrases on SRS with the cards that are not sticking, see if that helps. (Remember to spend less time repeating by spending time up front) Discussed irregular verbs with the girls on the drive to school this morning. Actual German Cards - reviewed 50. Pass two on lesson 5 - Even these early lessons still have something to teach - "Lieber morgen" - preferably. Words from LBGV 5.5 - only 5 new words Italian Reading L10 & L11 Chinese Lesson 6 - L-R exercise and shadowing. Review 1 shadowing, scriptorium, and cards. Review of 2 shadowing. ___ L.BGV - Sections reviewed to date 5.5-6.5 Edited by zenmonkey on 11 May 2009 at 10:31pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
