Before I'll post anything concerning new, 2014 year, a really short summary.
This year for me was sponsored by the letter C - C like "crisis". That's why it was horrible year when it comes to learning, even such precious and beloved thing for me like languages. I've completely f*cked up Language Challenge when the problems have begun. If I'd try to point out the positives, I would definitely mention beginning of hitch-hiking, the most useful thing in learning languages ever. Also I've improved a bit my Slovene, Russian + I've started (for real, not only listening to the songs) learning Croatian. Oh, and I've visited Georgia and Armenia (hitch-hiking to and through: Kopitnari-Tbilisi-Sadakhlo-Abovyan-Yerevan). I have to say that people there "except few exceptions" are AMAZING PLANS FOR 2014 (in a nutshell) G E N E R A L JAK SZYBKO OPANOWAĆ JĘZYK OBCY (How to master foreign language - a Polish book which explains how to learn the languages) interpals radios lang-8.com HTLAL groups reading news Anki flashcards reading books watching movies translating the songs Radio Lublin lessons Duolingo Memrise ENGLISH: - grammar - preparing to CAE - writing - idioms - business/law English - reading manga - VWO tests CROATIAN: - Chorwacki dla początkujących (Croatian for beginners) - pass through 2 books to Croatian - adding words to Anki - SUMRAK - Croatian through conversation - rozmówki (Cro-Pl phrasebook) SLOVENIAN: - A, B, C … 1, 2, 3, GREMO, GREMO NAPREJ - excercises from the other books - working with a dictionary - MOVIES - ČEFURJI RAUS - Slovenska beseda v živo RUSSIAN: - previous materials + Жыли-были - grammar - ОДИНОЧЕСТВО В СЕТИ - manga GEORGIAN: - Самоучитель грузинского языка - ქართული ენის თვითმასწავლებელი (Дареджан Хиджакадзе - ქართულად ვისაუბროთ) - Beginner's Georgian - Georgian Language (Nikolaishvili) - Грузинский язык с мамой - Georgian - A Learner's Grammar - Georgian Peace Corps Lessons - Давайте учить грузинский язык! - http://vk.com/geowords BULGARIAN: - prepare flashcards - repeat the stuff from the 3 previous years - repeat the grammar (- Intensive Bulgarian II) SWEDISH: - mostly taking adventage of private lessons by my acquaintace ;) And, of course, a little bit of dabbling when needed.

Any special order for using those Georgian materials?
That vk page is really good, time to start visting vk more often. I don't know how much you have used of Aronson's, but in spite of its complexity it dealks with grammar better than Hewitt's book. There's also The Georgian Language which is a great, readily accessible reference. I used to turn to it when I couldn't understand either Hewitt or Aronson. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes. Descending in estimated use. Armazi is great, although, as you know, you have to copy the grammar topics into google/yahoo/whateva since the direct links don't work. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Since there's a little terror in Rare Languages team, here's a short update from the first day of the rest of my life:
- learning/reviewing the letters: ა,ბ,გ,დ,ე,ვ,ზ,თ,ი,კ,ლ,მ,ნ,ო,პ, ჟ,რ. - adding one page of words from Самоучитель грузинского языка (14 words "to and through") Oh, I've also listened to a couple of fresh Georgian songs on the internet (sources of inspiration: http://www.ardaidardo.ge/ , http://dardimandi.ge/index.php?lang_id=GEO&sec_id=13 ). I'm not really pleased with them, but there's one exception and, of course, it's by ლელა წურწუმია : www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx-z9rHsJRc Tomorrow the rest of the letters and another page of the words. Staaaaaaay tune! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Are you still studying Persian or is it on hold? I still benefit from the materials you shared back in 2011 :)
Good luck with your Georgian adventure! Sounds exciting! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well, due to all of these problems I've given up Persian philology, so I'm kinda off the language right now, but of course - Persian is still somewhere deep in my . And since my Dutch friend speaks quite decent Farsi, I'd have some help, but still - I guess in such situation there must be always some time for giving a rest. Some kind of mourning, you know ;)
I'm content then. We can converse a little bit in Persian, although I've forgotten a lot of "grammar in use". Maybe I'll simply start reading some easy news in Persian (BBC seems to be the easiest) and Tajik (Radio Ozodi as always rules). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm envious of your Georgian studies - and I did not know that you also studied Russian! And as for not
getting done all the studies you wanted in 2013 because of external factors - then you and me both, pal :-) Good luck with 2014 - shall we agree already that this will be an amazing year? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well, I did - the charm of Slavic studies ;) And, LUCKILY, F I N A L L Y, we have a decent teacher!
Definitely! Anyway, another page of Georgian words to Anki. Just I'm afraid that putting the words can be much faster than ABSORBING them... EDIT: Except for adding some words to Anki - I haven't done much. Just listening to Croatian Vijesti and repeating some English and, of course, Georgian words.
