Bonjour! Je regrette mon mauvais français, mais c'est le première fois que j'écris en français. Il y a un mois que j'étudie français sérieusement, et j'ai pensé que je veux avoir un blog ici pour practiquer et pour me motiver. J'espère actualiser ce blog chaque semaine.
Dans l'avenir je vais écrire plus sur mon plan, mes motivations pour étudier français, ce que je voudrais accomplir, et les langues que j'ai déjà étudié, mais maintenant je suis très fatiguée parce que il m'est difficile d'écrire en français! Translation: Hello! Sorry for my bad French, but it's the first time I've written in French. I've been studying French seriously for about a month, and I thought that I want to have a blog here for practice and motivation. I hope to update this blog every week. In the future I'm going to write more about my plan, my motivations behind studying French, what I want to accomplish, and the languages that I've already studied, but right now I'm hella tired because it's hard for me to write in French!

Actuellement, je veux me concentrer sur des habilités passives, et quand je pense que je comprends assez bien le français (écrit et parlé) et que j'ai un vocabulaire et une compréhension de la grammaire fondamentaux, donc je commencerai à travailler ma prononciation et j'essayerai de parler et d'écrire en français (en plus qu'ici).
Mon plan pour étudier le français 1. Ultimate French (Beginner-Intermediate) Dans ce livre, j'étudie trois chapitres chaque semaine. Je passe environs 20 minutes avec chaque chapitre; j'en étudie un le samedi, un le lundi et un le mercredi. Aussi, je vais au travail en bus, et pourtant chaque matin j'écoute touts les enregistrements de ces trois chapitres (le dialogue, la vocabulaire, et les leçons "on-the-go"). 2. Anki J'y ai trois "jeux" pour le français -- grammaire, vocabulaire, et phrases. Je les étudie chaque jour (vocabulaire = 5 minutes, grammaire = 2 minutes, phrases = 3 minutes). Si j'essaie d'en étudier plus, je m'ennuie. 3. Listening Au travail, j'écoute environs 2-4 heures de podcasts en français (100% en français, pour francophones). Je ne les fais pas beaucoup d'attention, et pourtant je ne sais pas si ça m'aide... 4. Podcasts pour apprenants Journal en français facile Learn French by Podcast Je les écoute au bus quand je reviens du travail. Aussi, j'ajoute les phrases qui me semblent intéressantes à mon Anki. 5. Lecture Chaque week-end, je lis des sites webs en français, ou parfois le livre Read & Think French (même si je ne l'aime pas, ce livre). Quand je trouve des phrases intéressantes grammaticalement, je les ajoute à mon Anki. Voilà, c'est tout ce que je fais pour étudier le français maintenant. Quand je finis le livre Ultimate French en décembre, je ferai un nouveau plan. Si vous avez des suggestions, faites-moi-en savoir! Et corrigez mes (nombreux) erreurs. :) Edited by anamsc2 on 22 October 2012 at 1:48am 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

Translation of previous post.
Currently, I want to concentrate of passive skills, and once I think I understand French well enough (written and spoken) and that I have a fundamental vocabulary and grammatical comprehension, I'll start to work on my pronunciation and I'll try to speak and write in French (aside from here). My plan for studying French: 1. Ultimate French (Beginner-Intermediate) In this book, I study three chapters a week. I spend around 20 minutes with each chapter; I study one on Saturday, one on Monday, and one on Wednesday. Also, I commute by bus, so every morning I listen to all the recordings from these three chapters (dialog, vocab, and "on-the-go" lessons). 2. Anki I have three decks for French -- grammar, vocab, and sentences. I study them every day (vocab = 5 min, grammar = 2 min, sentences = 3 min). If I try to study more/longer, I get bored. 3. Listening At work, I listen to around 2-4 hours of French podcasts (100% in French, for French speakers). I don't pay much attention to them, so I don't know if this helps at all... 4. Podcasts for learners -- Journal en français facile and Learn French by Podcast I listen to them on the bus on the way back from work. I also add sentences that I find interesting to my Anki. 5. Reading Every weekend, I read websites in French, or sometimes the book Read & Think French (even though I don't really like this book). When I find a grammatically interesting sentence, I add it to Anki. That's all I do to study French right now. When I finish the Ultimate French book in December, I'll make a new plan. If you have any suggestions, let me know. And feel free to correct my terrible French! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

You've only been studying French for a month? That's incredible. I can't believe you're already able to write whole
posts. Keep up the amazing work and best wishes! Edited by Vinnet on 26 October 2012 at 4:23am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

Hi Vinnet, thanks for the kind words! Actually I sort of studied French off an on for a while now. And it takes me like an hour to even write a short paragraph, which I'm sure is full of errors. So really it's not that impressive :/

Well, I haven't written here in quite some time, but that doesn't mean I haven't been studying! On Sunday I finally finished Ultimate French. (I say "finally" because after 40 chapters, it was starting to get on my nerves!) My flashcards now contain over 1,000 sentences and over 1,600 vocab words (not that I've studied all of them).
For the next week or two (or maybe until after New Years), I'm just going to cruise along with my French, doing flashcards and listening / reading / watching TV, but not actively studying. I'm going to use that time to plan out what I want to do for my next stage of Spanish and French. I am considering taking DELE C2 in Spanish at the next convocatoria, and I want to get good enough in French that I can attend meetups and also that I can start German next summer. If anybody out there is reading this and knows of a good online tutor for French and for Spanish (peninsular variety), for example on Myngle or iTalki, please let me know! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Aún no he vuelto a comenzar a estudiar seriosamente el francés; he decidido que intentaré establecer un plan de estudios (tanto para el francés como para el español) el primer finde de 2013.
Lo que sí que voy a hacer es el ejercicio para mejorar el acento descrito por el "speech doctor" (http://olle-kjellin.com/SpeechDoctor/ProcLP98.html); haré una grabación antes de hacer el ejercicio y otra después y las colgaré aquí para ver si hay alguna diferencia. Pero mi principal razón por escribir aquí hoy es que acabo de ver una serie española que me encanta, y he pensado que a lo mejor a los demás estudiantes de español en este foro les gustaría. La serie se llama "Isabel" y explica la vida de Isabel la Católica. Es muy interestante y me he enganchado totalmente. Se puede encontrar aquí: http://www.rtve.es/television/isabel-la-catolica/ (En esa página también hay mapas que corresponden a cada episodio, eso también me encanta!) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I've been studying for 6/7 weeks and I can't even imagine writing posts like those. I
guess it says more about my ability than yours but awesome stuff. You've given me some inspiration for the new year. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
