Study? I don't. I never studied for a test before, that's why I dropped out of high
school. Languages are nice though, it doesn't feel like studying. I'll probably do more studious activities if/when I start a more difficult language or I want to become fluent in Spanish/Indonesian. I'll look up words in my Indo dictionary and write them down, then text message of Facebook Indo friends, I suppose this is studying in a sense, but it goes on and on for hours or days so doesn't feel like work. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I study 1-2 hours a day as much as possible. I have a job and I tend to be very busy I always skip my language lesson. Good thing I have L-lingo software so I can study Chinese Mandarin with ease.

Lately I've managed around eight hours of L-R each day, split between Korean & Finnish

I study 1 or 2 languages per day. Each for a about an hour.

This really varies from day to day and from week to week. Some days I've been able to put in 13 hours, and sometimes I've done absolutely nothing for several days on end or been bogged down with too much work.
Taking averages for this first half of 2010 so far, it works out at 1 hour a day with German during the first 19 weeks, which rose to 4-5 hours a day for Spanish over the last 6 weeks. So it all averages out at just under 2 hours a day, although you can easily double that if includes lighter immersion activities like watching tv and films and listening to music.

At the moment I could only do a few hours at the weekend. I hope to now do at least an
hour a day of Albanian and some Russian on the weekends. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Usually around 2 hours. I try for more, mainly to make up for the days in advance when it's only 30 minutes or so.
Glad I reread this thread. A lot of the time, I feel disorganized and unmotivated. I like the idea of a "Victory Calendar" brought up a few pages back and think it will help. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I always want to try to track how much time I spend, but I never manage to get organized enough (plus me + Excel aren't really good friends). I just do what I feel like, and a lot of it is reading or ANKI. Splog's method really inspired me though, so I may try that once my true holiday kicks in :)
I would say I spend perhaps 4 hours actually doing stuff though. At least I hope I do...
Aah, one of the many reasons I am most likely not having any :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
