Hallo Fasulye,
vielen Dank für die Korrekturen! Also, „Musikwissenschaftler“, logisch! Und „Musikwissenschaftler“ klingt meines Erachtens deutscher (sprich: schöner :). Liebe Grüße, Sprachjunge 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

13-14.03.10 were German days (we'll call them).
I suppose I should clarify: I had finished some important assignments for university, and this weekend kicks off my Spring Break, so I decided to take a little break from study. I am happy to say though that German is getting into me, to the point where I turn to German media on my breaks. I had a nice little Stromberg mini-marathon (ahem, am having) and listened to German and Spanish music. Monday means back on the horse! Edit: Well, after writing that, I felt inspired to at least write an entry on Lang-8: ,,Sprachenmasken" Edited by Sprachjunge on 15 March 2010 at 7:15am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ich überlege gerade, welche Fachbezeichnungen es außerdem gibt: - Sportwissenschaften, der Sportwissenschaftler - Ernährungswissenschaften, der Ernährungswissenschaftler - oder Ökotrophologe - Politikwissenschaften, der Politikwissenschaftler - oder Politologe - Erziehungswissenschaften, der Erziehungswissenschaftler - oder Pädagoge - Theaterwissenschaften, der Theaterwissenschaftler Aus Platzgründen habe ich hier nur die männlichen Formen geschrieben. Es gibt natürlich auch genug Frauen in diesen Berufen. :-) Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 18 March 2010 at 10:28am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

15.03.10 was a Spanish day.
Spanish: -article: Read and Think: “Celebración de Navidad: Colombia” -audio clip: Audiria #302 “Invitación para el ballet” -Skype conversation: 1.5 hours w/ Javier from Lang-8 German: -audio clip/article: SIL 18.3 ,,Deutsche Rechtschreibung tritt in allen Bundesländern in Kraft“ -writing sample: Lang-8 "Vokabeln" Russian: -Russlandjournal.de Podcast #3 I was very excited to have my first Skype conversation explicitly for language study. I spoke with a guy I had met on Lang-8, a Spanish speaker. My goodness, does my Spanish suck. It wasn't that it was difficult to understand him* (on the contrary, his Argentinean accent is quite clear compared to the slurry Castilian podcasts on Audiria), but rather that...hm, quite simply, I don't know how to say things! I know the noun vocabulary, but essential verbs are missing, as well as the proper phrasing. If we make this a consistent thing, I think it will be very beneficial for my Spanish. Nothing like a little pressure to perform. :) *To clarify, this does not mean that I comprehended him 100%. It was more like 60% overall. But I understood what I didn't understand; I was able to parse the phrases and think, "Oh, I don't know what that verb means," etc. Incidentally, I was quite amused by the jagged lacunae in my vocabulary/comprehension. For instance, when he discussed a camping trip he took with his English girlfriend at the time, I was able to follow 95%. But then he launched into some theories about proper linguistic registers, and I just started nodding to my laptop speakers in dazed confusion (and it wasn't a video call :). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Congrats on the Skype convo!! I have only talked to people I am already friends with, but it does seem like a great way to practise and maybe easier than finding exchange partners in real life.
It's weird when you suddenly discover holes in your vocab!! Can you believe that I learnt Spanish for at least a YEAR without knowing the verbs for buy and sell?! Haha! I mean it's because I didn't really need them and wasn't going to be in a position to buy anything in Spanish anytime soon, but still, it's pretty amusing to not know something as basic as that :) Then again you are talking about linguistic registers.. slightly more complicated! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi Sprachjunge always great to hear from you! You made some very good points about trying to make something "new / interesting" so you remember it! I love learning new vocab when I am right in the situation, hehe, for example I learnt the word "quebrada" when we were in Argentina right in the middle of one in the desert! Amazing scenery and for sure you never forget it!!!
But I also think my brain is fairly well trained :) I am so happy when I remember a word that hopefully it gets flooded with good chemicals or something XD I was pretty happy to have a dream in Italian after only a couple of sessions trying to study it. Oh and it's much easier to understand topics like politics when you can interrupt the person and ask them to repeat something! The radio doesn't let you do that unfortunately :/ Hope your studies are going well ^^ 1 person has voted this message useful |
