Okey, here is my little report on LRing Le Rayon Vert.
My point of view is not the story in the book, but about language learning. I did one round with LR L2/L2. Only the first 3 chapters did I read the English translation before LR L2/L2. LR L2/L1 chapter one twice and then LR L2/L2. Result: I'm a beginner in French, so it was a bit early to start with LR. But it was not a waste of time. I got immersion and LR L2/L2 helps me to connect spoken language with written language. From my experience with LR German I need about 30-50 hours LR L2/L2 before I start to "see" the words, when the LR L2/L1 is more useful. Reading the English translation before LR L2/L2 was useful, knowing the story made it a bit easier to guess what words and sentence was about. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Great stuff Bjorn. It was good that at least two of us made it to end of this not so
long audiobook. Can I ask you what you thought of the story overall? Will you be listen-reading again in French soon ? How enjoyable was this form of study for you ? As for me I enjoyed it up to a point. I am all too familiar with the author's style of prose which made it just that little bit harder to concentrate. It was as if I'd heard the story before. For future L-Ring I think the choice of text will be an important factor. This exercise was a bit of a stab in the dark for me. I've been doing so little French study that I wanted to see where I was at. I have no short or long term goal at the moment and like an athlete I'm completely out of shape. If I hear that I will be going to France this year I will go on a strict language regime. Overall I would have enjoyed and applied myself much more had I been L-Ring a German text. I have more motivation and everything is new, exciting and difficult. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The story is ok, normally I don't use old stuff. I prefer newer stuff like crime and thrillers. I like LR, maybe because I also like reading.
Probably I will LR Le Rayon Vert later on, this book is now my reference to gauge my level in French. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Too bad I missed the March L-R project – that sounds like it was an interesting experience. I've been rather out of touch recently due to various personal issues distracting me from the studies, but I'm planning to jump back onboard and try to update my log here a little. Just checking in to say hi to everybody!

Hi all,
I have been entirely absent for the last little while - I have some lame excuse all ready to roll out involving being trapped in a cave by a mountain lion for the past few weeks while solo spelunking recently, but even I have some serious concerns that this may not entirely be the truth. More likely, it is on account of having finally signed up for a free month trial of Netflix, and with the resulting 23-25 hours per day of movie watching I have been doing, language studying kinda fell off the page (and also my eyes hurt). I am keen to get back to Freutsching beginning May 8th. Edited by Spanky on 28 April 2012 at 6:47pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Hi guys,
Sorry I've been absent for so long. For the first time in a long, long time, the motivation is there but there's absolutely zero time. At the moment I'm spending all my time working - which is split between placements for a teaching course that will, after completion, allow me to teach my foreign languages - the languages I'm training in are French and German. I'm actually spending much of my day thinking about, teaching and speaking French and German, but I don't have much time to actually concentrate on improving my own level. So, updates from the team - how are we all doing? Jack 1 person has voted this message useful |
