Thank you, ReQuest
Im sorry to say that Im weak in french. I find it hard to speak french. Intead German words and sentence is popping up in my head all the time :-) The souvenirs is taking care of. I have bought Assimil Le Vietnamese sans peine and Assimil Le nouveau Grec sans peine :-) Nice is a nice place, but its expensive, same prices as in Norway. Not a place if you are on a budget.

I really want to learn Modern Greek sometime as well... I've been in Greece a couple of times and the language sounds so refined and so many root words come from Greek...
I had the German/French thing too a couple of years ago, in class we had to translate sentences, and I could only come up with Sie but not vous, but it disappears. Now I can go from the German news right into the French one and it causes no confusion whatsoever. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

ReQuest, you are right, I just need to be better in French.
More shopping: Assimil Le Bulgare sans peine. Dictionaire Bordas: Pieges et difficultes de la langue francaise. And a tv serie with audio in french and English. Same with the subtitle. A la maison blance, 154 episodes :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'm back home.
Ready for more studying languages now. I was a bit burned out in May/June. I have decided to take it easy in the months Desember, June, Juli and August. I need some holiday from my hobby:-) Flashcards I find it timeconsuming. Been thinking how to make it more effective. Maybe more sentences than just words. I use Babbel readymade flashcards. Also have Mental Case flashcards software. And I like it. It is more easy to add words, pictures and audio than Anki I dropped Anki 1 since there was a bug with the mediafiles. But I will now test Anki 2 and see how it works. I believe that Anki will be most stable for big flascards files and it is nice to have syncronicing via web to and from computers, iPhone and iPad. German Most of the time will be used to practise speaking. Once a week I practise on Skype. French *blush* I will restart the Assimil course again. I have about 900 words in Babbel flashcards app. Vietnamese Interesting language but timeconsuming. I have a break to September. Most problably I will continue, but nothing decided yet. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Copied from backup forum:
Here I am. HTLAL is down and I will now have my language log here. I manage to extract my log from HTLAL. Luckily I have been saving the most interesting parts (for me) of the HTLAL forum in Evernote. So I'm good to go. Log Juli I had the numbers but lost it :-) About 80 hours total. Mostly audiobooks, TV-series in German, French and English. August will also be an "easy" month for me, just enjoying audiobooks and films most of the time. Right now I am enjoying the TV-serie The West Wing in French (A la maison blanche) ----------------------------- Glad to be back home :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I have seen a lot of movies lately, dubbed in French. And I think my dvd player is about to break.
I suspect that protected Blue Ray DVDs are slowly killing my DVD-player. After finding out it is not so expensive to fly to Japan and Tokyo was cheaper then London. I have felt an urge to learn some japanese. But I'm trying to resist the urge. I find is easier to learn french vocabulary then German. And the french grammer also seems to be more easy. Team Freutsch is quite dead. If I decide to join the Assimil Challenge in Oct/Now, I will close this log. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I finished seeing the TV-serie The West Wing in French (A la maison blanche), all 7 seasons and the serie Rome.
All in french audio with English subtitles. Been thinking about the Assimil Challenge. I wonder if 30 min a day is enought to learn a language. I have postponed the Assimil French course several time. Why? I think I was missing/lacking the immersion. Immersion is a way to ease up a language. I think I am ready to start the Assimil Course now. Like a kid who just listen to the sound of the language before trying to speak or understand what the sounds mean. I'm fascinated with the shadowing technique, but do you get the small nuances in the spoken language by dropping the immersion and start to talk at once? 1 person has voted this message useful |
