That is indeed an excellent video. Thanks to you for linking to it and thanks to Splog for making it and explaining it so well. I thought I understood the concept of aspect in Slavic languages in general already, and I mostly did but now it just makes all the more sense. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Good luck mate and I wish you the best. But that is insane. I know you'd be able to do it

@ellasevia, zekecoma
Thanks guys! What with focusing on clearing my in-tray this week, including having to fit in a quick business trip to the UK at short notice, my Russian hasn't exactly started "rushing" anywhere just yet. However there's good news on the horizon in all this...by working this extra bit over the last few days, I've managed to free up many more hours for language study, which will hopefully be reflected in the next few posts. I'm really psyched about this and look forward to upping my game starting tomorrow! :D Edited by Teango on 24 July 2010 at 11:53pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

"Rushing Russian", Day 4
(Ни пуха, ни пера!) Study-and-click: 3 hours (10 total) Other active study: 1 hour (5 total) Background music: 1.5 hours (5 total) New passive words: 137 (550 total) Today's reading score: 82% (+2%, История первая, Глава 4, 100 words) What I learnt today: The DLI (Defense Language Institute) recommends 10 minute mini-breaks in between 40-50 minute study sessions, and a whole hour off for lunch. Sound like a good idea to me, and I've got a whole day free tomorrow to try it out. :) Edited by Teango on 29 November 2010 at 10:11am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've been working full-on all day to meet a deadline, and now it's time to go to bed. So sadly no Russian for me today; just a quick "спокойной ночи" (good night) to one and all. [edit] Edited by Teango on 09 August 2010 at 11:52am 1 person has voted this message useful |
