I'm doing fine, thank you.
Nice to see you here.
Good luck with your studies.
I find it a little hard to study in spring.
For the summer I think I will take it more easy.
More fun activity like LR, TV, podcast and so on.
And less "hardcore" activity like vocabulary and grammar.

*cue start of (another) Public Service Announcement*
I recently stumbled on a big collection of texts from Logos that was just too good to keep in relative anonymity in my log or the "Links and Resources" sub-forum. I think that the links could be handy for any of you who want some practice with L-R or to have another source of texts in your target language(s).
For your purposes, here are the links to the material in
French and German Click on the row of letters above the titles to get texts whose title starts with that letter. Texts with accompanying audio have a little blue speaker beside them.

How are we all doing? Anybody still checking this thread? I'll admit I haven't been very active on the forum recently, but I'm quite pleased with the amount of studying I've managed to get done during my month visiting "back home" (the States).
The most exciting thing I have to report is that my enthusiasm for German has finally successfully infected my mother, and she is starting the language with great zest and zeal (and sticktoitiveness, too!). Naturally, I advised her extensively on the topic of learning materials, and she's starting off with Assimil (my vintage 1940s edition), as well as DuoLingo.com, parallel texts, and children's books. I know this probably isn't so interesting for all of you to hear about, but I'm very happy. Her goal is to be able to get by in the language when she comes to visit me in Germany in a couple of years.
For French I've still mostly been working through my collection of Breton fairy tales, which is quite amusing – some of the stories have great lines such as "La princesse sortit de sa tombe en jetant feu et flammes, furetant partout et criant à faire trembler un rocher." Fun stuff!

Me too, and I try to write less in English and more in German, French and sometimes Spanish. How imperfect it may be!

I'm also still trudging along, though mostly in my other three languages (Chinese, Russian, and sometimes Spanish). Sorry!
