Assimil Challenge: Chinese With Ease Lesson 2 (20 minutes) - the speed of the audio jumped up a bit with this lesson already. The topic was using 要不要 （want / not / want) to ask someone if they wanted something. Literal English translation would be "Want not want food?" (Would you like something to eat?), "Want not want soup?" (Would you like some soup?) TY Bengali (20 minutes) - Did the exercises for chapter 1. Went over the Bengali letters for a (আ), i (ই, ঈ), u (উ, ঊ), b (ব), r (র), l (ল), m (ম), n (ন), g (গ). I'm going to redo the exercises again tomorrow. I love writing Bengali letters. Korean Fridays are generally not good language learning days because I do most of my weekly chores (going to the bank, going food shopping, etc.) on Fridays. Today, I didn't do any of that. I still didn't do much Korea study because the reason I didn't get to do those things was because my car died on my way home from work. What a crappy afternoon that turned out to be. I did spend some time with my new grammar book, Korean Grammar in Use: Beginner. I went through the "Getting Ready" section. 5 chapters on 이다, 딨다, Numbers, Dates and Days of the Week, and lastly Time. All stuff I've long since covered in TTMIK, but I never forgo a chance to throw some more dialogs into my rotation or to mine me some sample sentences.

Assimil Challenge: Chinese With Ease Lesson 3 (20 minutes) - working off the last lesson, the main point was 买不买 （buy / not / buy). Literally, the sentences asked "You buy not buy books?", basically asking if you buy books, but the meaning is "Do you want to buy books?". It also showed how to use 要买 (want buy) to mean the same thing. TY Bengali (20 minutes) - Redid the chapter 1 writing exercises. I'll be moving on to Chapter 2 tomorrow.

Ahh...영웅호걸...another good show. It started to get a bit more boring toward the end, but the early episodes were very entertaining. I've rewatched episodes 1 and 2, in particular, countless times. That's also one of the few shows that I've only watched unsubbed (partly because I couldn't really seem to find subbed versions of that show). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My move is taking longer than I thought it would, is more work than I anticipated and is just sucking more of my time away. Hopefully the new place will be ready in the next week or two...
November 12-20, 2012 Chinese: Assimil lessons 9 through 12 - Had to put this on hold for about a week but am getting back to it now. Bengali: TY Chapter 3 finished and read chapter 4 today (Nov 20th). What I've done in Korean Yonsei 1 first half of chapter 2 Korean Grammar In Use Beginner: Part 2 (3 parts) - Negation GANADA chapter 3 Colloquial chapter 4 Integrated Korean Beginner 1 chapter 2 I'm not sure what it is that makes me really like a resource and what makes me dislike a book. I really like the Yonsei textbooks, but I really don't like Integrated Korean. I can't articulate exactly why that is though. For whatever reason, when I am ready to advance in Yonsei, I look forward to it. When I see Integrated is due, I feel like I'm trudging through something I don't want to deal with. So far my likes are TTMIK Yonsei (and Yonsei Reading) Sogang Korean Grammar In Use And my dislikes Colloquial Active GANADA Integrated And I'm so-so on Spoken World so far. I'm only a few chapters into them so far, so I'm going to keep pushing through. Wouldn't be the first time I changed my opinion on a resource once I got through the first few chapters. For example, I didn't like Teach Yourself at first, but once I got beyond the first few chapters the first time I used it, it picked up and I really liked it the rest of the way.

Can I ask why you are using so many books for Korean? I think the four resources you have put in your 'like' category could be enough.
