I think all those years living upside down on the underside of the earth has addled your brain. EDIT: sorry, what I meant to say was, "For realz yo". ;) Edited by Jeffers on 11 December 2014 at 5:12pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Lingvist update 55 hours, 42 minutes... 4551 words.
That's 456 words over the last 13 hours or so, or about 35 "new" words per hour. This morning, I'm doing better than that; 49 new words in 39 minutes. I was very "caught up" when I started. By that I mean I got through all the review cards yesterday afternoon. I came back to the Lingvist in the early evening for a while, and the number of reviews was much smaller before new cards began appearing. Then I did a couple more shorter sessions so there was a shorter queue of review cards before new words began showing up. It's just after one o'clock in the morning here and I slept for about 4.5 hours before un cauchemar m'a réveillé. I find myself paying more attention with words I'm unsure of. Is this plural? What's the tense? Third person? How would this sound be spelt? What sort of vowel order is used here? I've continued to give more time to the Listen and Read sections. I'm into the three page readings and three minute audio tracks. I still haven't discovered the source of all the radio interviews. It's nice that the site removes the readings and audio you've been through from the list. For the last 13 days, review cards have become the lion's share of the cards I do. I'm on day 26. As far as a tactics for progress on the site at this point: * Go through the review cards carefully. Inadvertent errors will cause a card to repeat several times to teach you a lesson. * Several shorter sessions are more effective than a couple long ones. * Continue to forge through the readings and audio. * Use the "click on a word dictionary" for unknown words. I imagine they will show up in Memorize at some point. * Notice things. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I clicked on Read and there is a new easy reading there. It is a transcript of many of the easy audio dialogues from French by French. A nice review. 4715 words, 63 hours 38 minutes, 92% of words of any text. Today, 93% correct. My Memorize adventure with the Linguist is on day 30. I clicked back on Memorize and it has some review cards already in the queue. I did about three mini sessions since the first completion earlier this morning. There have been about 15-25 words in each session. They have been appropritate words for review. I think I'll carry on with Lingvist Memorize reviews to keep caught up and move on to Intermediate Lessons at French by French. I did the first one and it has a nice dialogue, the continuing saga of a young family that started out in the Beginner section. All the dialogues are related, which is great. The grammar and exercise sections are both concise, which makes for a pleasant, brief lesson. It sounds perfect for a 20 hour challenge.

I liked tarvos' post on
studying multiple languages. That has me wanting to gather some thoughts... I like the idea of starting something and focusing on it for a while. In some ways, that's what I've been doing all along, but I also tend to spread some goals out over a longer time. I'm thinking specifically of Assimil courses here. I have some thoughts on how to do things I've not done with the courses before to take them to a deeper level. French Without Toil - I would benefit from the standard approach. E.G., Look away and repeat each phrase of the dialogue with a real sense of feeling what I'm saying. New French with Ease - Do as a listen/transcribe wave. Using French - I have less strong feelings here. How about doing a translation based on the English? I've not done that dilegently with any Assimil course. This is usually referred to as "wave 2". Business French - Read the course away from the audio. Possibly even dive into all the supplemental exercises it contains. FSI Basic French - Once I finish the current review, just pick up and start moving forward again. This has generally worked best for me in non-obsessive mode. Listen/Reading Great Books This is not a bad thing to do in obsessive mode. I generally don't regret time I've spent on one of these books. I haven't gotten as comfortable with them as I'd like, but that shouldn't be a surprise. Some focused time in obsession mode may be pleasant. French In Action - This course is and does everything, so it's good to go at in obsession mode for a spurt. Each lesson takes about 5-10 hours to do right. To feel like I'm making progress, it helps to go mono- maniacial on it. Thinking in French - When I first approached French at Uni some decades ago, this was my secret. I haven't returned to this as I've been afraid I'd fossilize mistakes. Perhaps an obsessive bout with FSI would take care of that concern. BTW, this is not a book or audio. It's what Iversen describes as taking place in the noggin. Frequency Dictionary - Anki - has always been most palatable in trickle mode. E.G. adding 10 relatively easy words per day. Over the course of a year, this might help my comprehension a good deal. Perhaps the approach is to figure out what I'm feeling weak on, and then decide what I could do to bring that up a notch. Overall, I would get the most benefit from thinking in French. Now, all I have to do is figure out how to make these things apply to thinking.

Interesting and useful summaries, Luke. I'll get working on mine today. Or tomorrow.
