Pimsleur Level 3 Unit 3 Free trial of "Babbel" I want to start working on reading and grammar but I'm finding it very hard to find clear and easy to navigate online conjugation charts for Brazilian Portuguese. It's amazing how different the quality of resources is between Spanish and most other languages. I was spoilt with my first language and now I expect too much!

I guess I should give an indication of where my head is at right now and what I'm hoping to achieve.
Right now I'm focussing on Portuguese as a means of getting back into the swing of things. I don't want to throw myself into 3 hours of language study with 3 different languages a day because I know that I will just burn out. I've realised that as soon as I set myself goals and targets and write down how much I'm going to do per day etc. that I just shut off from those things and never achieve anything (so maybe this post is a little counter intuitive?). The best thing for me is to have a rough idea of what I want and work at it when I feel the urge. This may be a slower way of achieving things, but for me it usually means that I'll get further in the long run. So this log, my record of what I've studied, may become quite sporadic....little bursts of energy followed by a little time off. As long as I'm progressing I'm not too bothered about how fast. So my rough idea of what I'd like to achieve is this: Portuguese - Finish Pimsleur and Michel Thomas, buy a grammar book and work through it. Russian - Finish Pimsleur and re-do Michel Thomas, then work through the Princeton course (something I've found a little too daunting in the past) Spanish - Finish reading and learning vocab from Crepusculo and Luna Nueva, and watch as many films as possible. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Rosetta Stone - Level 1 Unit 1 Lesson 1 My word. Rosetta Stone is repetitive!!! I can't imagine that even a complete beginner with languages would need THAT much repetition. It's painful! I decided to give Rosetta Stone a go because I've been wanting a different perspective, something that's not entirely audio based, and that just happened to be what was available. I'll stick with it because I can see how it can be beneficial, even if it does make me want to shoot myself in the head. I might try it with Russian now (my "have never gotten anywhere with it" language) to see if it makes a difference being a little more clueless. UPDATE: Definitely a lot harder with the Russian! But I can still imagine that by the end of the entire unit it'd be a bit much. My brain's fried, but I'll hopefully do a little bit more later on :o) Edited by ymapazagain on 10 November 2010 at 8:13am 1 person has voted this message useful |
