I'm experiencing something similar with Spanish and Cantonese. At times when I'm trying
to think in Cantonese, Spanish conjunctions pop up in my thoughts as I'm not used to the Cantonese way of connecting sentences and words together. It seems like there's a word missing sometimes, so I automatically add the Spanish equivalent. Unfortunately, I don't know any solution to the problem except practising to think in the language more often, maybe start with easy sentences that you already know to elliminate influences from the other language and then work your way up. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I feel really awful for procrastinating the updating of my log, but I'm doing it now!
The last two months have been extremely stressful due to school and exams and clinical rotations. I have had no time to study at all for any of my languages. But Alas, the first chunk of the year is over, and today is the start of the second chunk! I am putting more effort into Mandarin, which I have neglected all year. I am also studying harder for French, as I need to be at a high intermediate level by January. I've also picked up Swedish again, like I promised I would. I also want to apologize to my team members for being a really bad team member. I have not been posting in your logs or been as encouraging as I would have liked. I hope to improve upon that and try my best to follow your logs better! I wish you all good luck!! Quick updates: 1. I am participating in the Super Challenge with French (100/100) and Swedish. 2. I am also participating in the 6 week Challenge with French. 3. I will be leaving in mid June for vacation and I wont return until the end of august. I am not sure how this will affect my studies until I leave. I'll try to post here every day for Mandarin and Swedish, and my French will go on the new blog I started for the Super Challenge! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

It's nice to hear from you again! :) And don't worry, we all tend to procrastinate
sometimes. I was thinking about attending the Super Challenge, but in the end I decided not to as 20 months is a very long time, I still haven't finished my book that I started in January (and it's in my native language!) and I have still not tried a reading challenge. I will join the Tadoku challenge though! Good luck with the Super challenge and let me know if you need any help with your Swedish ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Wooh, good luck on your challenges! :D And pfft, don't worry about the not
updating/encouraging thing... I *suck* at that. I feel horrible about it D: Heh. Anyway, yes, I hope you're having fun with the first two days of the 6WC/Super Challenge and I will do my best to stop procrastinating and drop by more often :D 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It takes me days to finish 5 pages of French, haha! But you could do a half super challenge where you watch 100 movies only. I think 2 movies/tv shows a week isn't too bad! :D I've heard a lot about the Tadoku challenge and I might do it when I become a little more advanced in French or Swedish! What language do you want to do the challenge in? Thanks I'll definitely be asking you any Swedish-related questions I may have soon! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

We'll improve on this! I'm sure of it (mostly because it's almost summer vacation which means a little more free time!) I'm doing really bad so far! I've been distracted with other things (on the plus side I think I might have gotten a job for part of the summer haha!) and I couldn't offically register today, so hopefully tomorrow is better! How have the first two days gone for you? I know you're busy with final exams and such, but I hope it's going well for you! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Half a super challenge sounds like a good idea! I need to think about what language I would take part with though and where I can find enough movies in the language. :) I've just been thinking about the Tadoku challenge and I think my first language will be Spanish, as I have never yet been able to finish a book in that language (I've already read one in German) and I've been so looking forward to trying it out one more time now that I've started studying it again! Last year I tried to read a children's book in Spanish, but my progress was too slow that I stopped after only a few pages. 1 person has voted this message useful |
