Updates: Japanese Books 1. HunterxHunter treasures vol.1 manga 788 pages=157 pages 2. HunterxHunter treasures vol.2 manga 520 pages=104 pages I'm still stalling here, between focusing on French and having reached a point in the story that I don't like very much I've barely read anything in the past couple weeks. Japanese Movies 1. となりのトトロ 2.魔法の宅急便 I've never seen this one before but I loved it. I've always liked stories that involve witches, especially if they have a black cat, and this one was very well done. Err, I don't do reviews well so I'll leave it at that. French Books 1. Easy French Reader 100 pages 2. Harry Potter à L'école des Sorciers 305 pages I finally managed to finish this one a few days ago. Luckily I know the story well enough to figure out what is going on, and I felt like I learned quite a bit, but it was still quite difficult. I think I'll work on some of my parallel texts before starting the second one. French Movies 1. Le Roi Lion 2. Mon Voisin Totoro 3. Les Chroniques de Narnia : L'Armoire magique Wikipedia informs me that this was only the title in Quebec, but since that was what was written in the movie I'll keep it. I was able to follow the story pretty well even though I've only seen it once before. I'll be watching the rest of the series, which I haven't even seen in English yet, next, so that should be a challenge. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Update #15
70/100 Films Movies "Starbuck" (2011) "Les doigts croches" (2009) "La grande séduction" (2003) "Le bonheur de Pierre" (2009) "Le dîner de cons" (1998) TV Series "Apparences" (10 episodes of 45 min) "19-2", Season 1 (10 Episodes of 45 min) "30 Vies", Season 1-2 (120 episodes of 22 min) "Toute la vérité", Seasons 1-3 (50 episodes of 45 min) **** Starbuck (2011) This comedy staring Patrick Huard (of Bon Cop Bad Cop) is about a perpetual adolescent who discovers that, as a sperm donor and due to a error, he has fathered 533 children of which 142 have launched a lawsuit to try to force the fertility clinic to reveal the true identity of "Starbuck", the pseudonym he used. His pregnant girlfriend does not feel that he is mature enough to be a father. He comes into possession of a list of his 142 claimants, helpfully annotated with addresses and photos. When curiosity gets the better of him, he starts a series of clandestine visits to see how his progeny are faring and trying to help them without revealing who he is. Rights to the film have been sold to Steven Spielberg for an English language remake staring Vince Vaughn. Les doigts croches (2009) This comedy is about a group of five bumbling thieves from Montreal who are forced to walk the famous Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain to prove they've changed their ways and deserve their cut of the loot stolen in a heist 4 years earlier. Both this movie and Starbuck (and La grande séduction) were written by Ken Scott of Québec. The phrase "doigts croches" meaning having a tendency to steal, croche being an Québécisme adjective for crooked. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

This sounds so fun, I would love to join this! I need the motivation for my Korean
right now! LANGUAGE: Korean CHALLENGE: Full (100 books, 100 movies) CURRENT LEVEL: A2 (?) COMMENTS: I need a little competition to keep me motivated. I live in Korea and am looking to have a job using Korean in the near future. I hope to get up to Basic Fluency with Korean once this is done, and be able to read young adult novels without too much dictionary use. I'm going to start with manhwa first (especially the few titles I've already read in Japanese) and work my way up. Also: LANGUAGE: French CHALLENGE: Half (50 books, 50 films) CURRENT LEVEL: Beginner Let the fun begin. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Update 4
Spanish Super Challenge, upgraded to Super Duper with writing It has been such a long time since my last update. The excuse is that I've moved to my summer cottage and I don't have my computer here. I hate writing with a tablet. The big news is that after one month of reading like a crazy I begun to feel an urge to write too, so I upgraded my Spanish Super Challenge to a Super Duper w. writing. My humble plan was to write something every day but as was to be expected my laziness has won every other day. #read 35.7/100 #film 29.4/100 #write 13.8/100 Here is my detailed log Marikki's detailed log page So, being in the countryside and and having a vacation (and a couple of rainy days) has been very beneficial what comes to reading. Maybe even too much so, because now I have decided to give the reading treatment to all my languages. I've already made a Twitter registration to the Half Super Challenge in German, the Advanced Challenge in Swedish and the Advanced Mega Challenge w. writing in English. Spanish will still be my priority language until September which means that I won't begin extensive reading in other languages before September.
