As for Wikipedia, try German, they have this reputation, you know :) But yeah I'd feel guilty a lot if English was my native language :D Kinda lucky that the Russian wiki isn't anywhere near as good:D Good luck with your studies<3 It's great that you've not stopped improving your Spanish despite being fluent<3 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Bueno, mis estudios en Croata siguen pero más lento que quisiera. Para realmente
entender los textos para mi clase de literatura, he comenzado leer algunos capítulos a la vez subrayando las frases o palabras que no sé, buscándolas en el diccionario, y luego leyendo el texto de nuevo. He econtrado que este me ayuda muchísimo con mi acumulación de vocabulario, aunque es un proceso largo. Además me siento muy capaz porque solo subrayo tres o cuatro palabras cada página. Voy a mirar dos nuevas series también que encontré esta semana: Perdidos en la Tribu, que es un reality show de tres familias de España que tratan vivir entre varias diferentes tribus y la que pueda durar más que las otras ganará un premio. También empecé mirar American Horror Story. Es doblado en castellano, y quise mirarla en EEUU sin éxito y ahora tengo acceso y una excusa. Tuve ganas de sentare para el DELE C2 en Mayo, pero creo que para endulzar mi español un poco más, voy a esperar para noviembre al menos. Podría tomar el C1 mañana pero para alcanzar el C2 que es un nivel distinto de los demás necesito refrescar mi gramática. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Continuando con mi lección de 'El Árbol de la Ciencia' hoy, encontré un montón de
palabras que no conocía. Por ejemplo: iracundo, barquinazo, bochorno, almazara, corralillo, y membrudo. Yo sé que no son muy cotidianas, y solo subrayo las que realmente no puedo adivina lo que significan del contexto. Eso está ayudándome mucho porque 50% del tiempo que no creo que sé una palabra, puedo adivina el sentido al menos aunque no sé la traducción. Suelo no traducir palabras cuando leo, pero a causa de ser un texto para una asignatura, he decidido que sería servible para mi nota. Y, además, soporta la aplificación del vocabulario. Regarding Croatian, I downlownded Anki this morning and have been putting my words onto there. I think I am going to like it as much as a lot of the people on the web and here on HTLAL. Zdravo a Laku Noć! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Got the email for the Duolingo Beta test! It's actually good for a free online
program, and I like the fact that it has a social means to it (google the TED talk; it's the brainchild of the founder of Captchas) So now I've done a few lessons in German. I went to Lisbon last week. Bought a Spanish/Portuguse phrasebook. Observations: The Portuguese definitely know English better than the Spanish. If you speak slow Spanish and they speak slow Portuguese you can actually communicate quite well. The think about sounding like a Slavic language instead of a Romance is very true. It was way more different sounding than the Brazilian Portuguese I've heard. I still plan on learning the Carioca or Paulista version of Portuguese, but I really enjoyed Lisbon and definitely plan on spending more time in Portugal. Had some Poles over the over day for a party at our flat and I tried to speak drunken Croatian to them. They were like, "no, that's Russian! No it's Slovak! And that was Czech!" it was funny. Supplies Shopping: I plan on getting the Assimil programs for Basque, Catalan, and French with the Spanish base while I'm here. Will use the French soon, but just getting the other two for way down the road, but figured theyd be easier to find in Spain. Also want to get a few of the French base ones depending on my budget for the future, depending on whether they're cheaper here: Brazilian Portuguese, Croatian, Romanian, Turkish. Plan on duing the German program in English, but I can get that back in the US. Doviđenja! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

So today I just got back from a long weekend to Budapest. I have never had any exposure
to the language, but I was aware of it's Finno-Uralic family ties. I took an hour long class for tourists (on my last day, stupidly enough) I've never been to Paris, but the moniker "Paris of the East" seems very true. I was captivated by it. Needless to say, I really want to learn Hungarian now... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes, that language can do that to you >:-) (as if smokin' hot Hungarian chicks aren't enough of a reason, hehe). I take it that you had a good long weekend there. It's odd though. I've heard that moniker only for Bucharest. Yet it's not that Budapest isn't up to snuff. Jeeze, I'd take it over Bucharest any day after having been in both cities. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Croatian just won't stick it seems like... But it's getting 'stickier' haha. Which is
good, because I leave for Istria in 5 days. I was not aware of the complexities of Slavic languages. Even after studying Arabic, they seem complext. I've done lessons 1-4 in TY Croatian and am trying to internalize everything. I also found the GLOSS softwear, which will add a nice bit to my studies. (other online resources for Croatian are lacking). I'm finally getting a handle of the nom/gen/acc/dat cases and genders. SO MUCH INFLECTING. Hotel je lijep. Hoteli su lijepi. Živim u hotelu lijepom. Žive u hotele lijepim. Vidiš li hotel lijep? Vidite li hotele lijepe? Pošta nije daleko od hotela lijepog. Pošte nisu daleko od hotela lijepih. velik Škola je velika. Škole su velike. Jesam u školi velikoj. Jesu u škole velikim. Vidiš li školu veliku. Vidite li škole velike. Hotel nije daleko od škole velike. Hotel nisu daleko od škole velikih. Took me a bit to come up with this list, but it's a start. I'm trying to remind myself that making mistakes is fine at this point, but it's such a key part of understanding what's being said that it's more of a problem then say confusing genders and pluralization in French. Laku Noć! PS- ordered Assimil Francés sin esfuerzo, German with ease, and Catalán sin esfuerzo. Plan is of now to do French completely by end of fall semester and the German during Spring.

Croatian is not a Romance language :) So adjectives come before nouns.
"ljepih hotela" also looks very suspicious to me but I can't look it up right now. Great to see you post about Croatian!!! ♥ Sretno:) Edited by Serpent on 29 June 2012 at 1:44pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
