Here we go again!
INTRO!
This year wasn't my lucky one though I did some progress in English (now, I can watch TV episodes with English sub without so many problem), but I think I need a new log to track my progress till the next year, I know I was in TAC challenge but everything went against me, so I thing this brand new lof will help in the coming days!

Languages ... An Endless Journey!
This phrase express what I was doing all this year, I know the conditions here were unstable!, but I was also so hesitated with my languages, I did do some progress in English (like I said before!), cracked the ice with my old French(which I didn't study anything for it for 5 years or so!), build a limited German foundation, begin to do some Greek, and dabbling some Russian!
I was not so sure which language I'll study for this year, so I decided to do some mix of these languages, hopefully It'll help me to study without hesitated anymore!

Current Study!

I'll study three languages every day, try to do this mix for the following languages


English
I think I studied it very well this year, maybe I'm at B1/B2 level, but I need to do more, I think with watching TV Series, It's gave me more confidence about English (American accent), but when I tried to watch Dallas I found my self so lost to find out what they're talking about!( especially, I can't find any English subs for Dallas!), maybe after finishing some books, I'll try to study southern accent!

      New Interchange textbooks
      Basic English Grammar
      Slangman Guide to street speak
      Vampire Diaries






Français
I love everything about this language, but I didn't touch anything in French from long time, so I want to rebrush
my knowledge and achieve Intermediate level in it!

    Assimil New French With Ease
    Living Language Ultimate French
    Campus 1 - Méthode de Français
    Grammaire Progressive du Francais
    et si c'était vrai


Thank you for reading this and for your patience, feel free to make suggestions!
Thanks again!

Day 1 & 2

Français
I did one lesson from Assimil without Toil, It was so easy to me, but I must admit that without toil from the first lesson is "easier" than with Ease!

Deutsch
one lesson from Assimil without Toil and some vocabulary and the grammar of lesson 1 from LL
I loved LL but there's one problem, It doesn't pronounce every single German word - unlike TY or Colloquial- but I did some Google's pronunciation though I have my doubts about it!

English
Two lessons from Grammar In Use (most of it was reviewing) and one lesson from Assimil
Not a big deal, that's my comment on 'em!


ελληνικά
Nothing :(

ελληνικά

I've tried to do one lesson from Assimil, but I must confess that It was too hard for me ('coz of my French!), I'll wait till I make some progress in French then back to study it!

English
*Slangman Guide to BIZ SPEAK
some vocab from Lesson 1
*Textbook: this text book is too beginner for me so, I think I'll change it to some more advanced book....

*Learn Greek Online
Reviewing Lessons 1 and 2
Studying Lesson 3

*LLSW:
Reviewing Vocabulary and Key Phrases from Lesson 1
Studying 3 Grammar points

*Odysseas
I just found this amazing site, I'm starting to do the first unit, but I must admit that this site is really great to study along side with LLSW and LGO!


English

*Textbook:
I finished the Vocabulary list, the first two grammar points from L1

*A book about Business English
Just the Vocabulary from L1 :)

I've changed my mind about the Textbook, 'coz I see it as good drills , more and more of English practice, so why not?
I'll use it along side with a book about Business English (which I see it very exciting to study!), but the book Slangman will be put side till I finish these great books!!
