German
Most of the time spended on exspanding and maintaininge the vocabulary.
Have Skype conversation once a week.
To be honestt I need a lot of conversation practise.
Not much shadowing, haven't had time.

French
Mostly maintained vocabulary.

Vietnamese
Upgraded, so now I'm studying 3 langauages.
I will use about 25 per cent of my studytime to learn Vietnamese.

Team VietFreutsch :-)

Thank you Cavesa for your kind words.

German
Expanded my vocabulary, now I have 4500 words,idioms and sentence.
I will now take a break and only maintaining it.
Concentrating more of speaking German, conversations and shadowing.
Also LR and maybe some grammar on a good day.

I also hope to have time to read a book og two this summer.
Have a small collection of real books in German by norwegian author Jo Nesbø:
Der Fledermann
Der Erlöser
Rotkehhlchen
Das fünfte Zeichen
Kakerlaken
Headhunter
Leopard

French
is a bit on the backburner now because I need some time with Vietnamese.
Have restarted French With Ease by Assimil and hope to finish passive wave before I leave for holiday. Keep it floating and do the active wave after holiday.

Vietnamese
I find Vietnamese pronunciation difficult, no surprise there :-)

I prefer readymade flashcards, I trust my brain to correct things underway.
But for Vietnamese I will made my own flashcards. Mostly because I have a teacher and also that is not much out there. My teacher test me on every lesson. So it's better to be a good student and do the homework
Either I will use Anki or Mental Case. Not sure yet.

I needed a break yesterday from studying languages. So I got drunk with some friends.
Today I'm watching Youtube videos to get some inspiration.

So far on You Tube Channel:

Vietnamese
This is a hard language, at least for me. Not only is the pronounciation difficult. The vocabulary is also hard. Nothing to relate it to. It is total strange. So for now I just trying to learn vocabulary by brute force with a flashcard programme. Don't know what else to do.

The teacher seems quite happy with my pronounciation (for a newbie). I have been using the shadowing technic. Maybe the vocabulary will sink in after I have done more Shadowing. I hope so.

25 per cent of my studytime to learn Vietnamese is not enought. I will now use half of my studytime for Vietnamese.

French
Up to date with flashards repetitions, my french vocabulary is 650
Nice and easy with French Assimil.

German
A backlog 1300 repetitions :-)
Been a naughty boy, no shadowing.

Studying 3 languages at the same time is really to much. I hope I can handle it.

You could take a break from one, just watch a newsbroadcast every other day.

Better focus on 2 then having too little time for 3.
