Lovely! Old jokes are the best. :-) Perhaps I should have a look at Assimil French with Ease, too. (If only for amusement.) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I try to do the Spanish, French, Italian Assimil lessons every day. All three languages are really easy for me. The Spanish is almost all review, but I want to get all the way through the program this time.
I try to do the Portuguese and Croatian every day or two, depending on my schedule. I was off of work (one of my jobs, anyways) for the week between Christmas and New Years, so I got more accomplished than normal. Once I get finished with my online TESOL course in the next few weeks, I am planning to hit all five every day, even if it's just reviewing an Assimil lesson. I also listen to Spanish, French, Italian, and Croatian music all day at work. I'll add Portuguese to that if/when I find some music I really like, but I still have a hard time understanding Portuguese. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I had to go back to work today, after almost two weeks off. Not that I really wanted to be there or anything, but it's a nice opportunity to listen to music in my target languages. I found some new French, Italian, and Croatian music I added to my mp3 player, so that was nice. I got 2 hours of work done on my TESOL course, and I also corrected two college essays for my friends (who are non-native English speakers). It wasn't as much language work (on my target languages) as I'd like, but at least I got a little done.

Serpent - I checked out the lyrics site. It looks really cool. Can you add your own songs there? I can't seem to figure that part out! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've been super busy with work the past few days, but this afternoon I sat down to learn the lyrics to a new Croatian song I found. It's by Vesna Pisarovic called Da Znaš. It's a knock off of Laura Pausini's Non C'è. Pausini also did a Spanish version of the song called Se Fue, which is the first version I found years ago.
My nine-year-old twins decided it was great dancing music, brought out their play microphones, and we had Croatian Karaoke Night at our house tonight. I learned most of the lyrics (and lots of new vocabulary), and the girls were even singing along with the refrain by the end of the night. It was a fun way to spend the evening doing something productive AND fun! 1 person has voted this message useful |
