I'm definitely going to follow your log with interest as we both seem to have similar goals (B2->C1) with German.
Alles Gute! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I finished my winter exams yesterday, and now I'm ready for a week of language study,
some C++ and writing placement applications, and hopefully I'll get invited to at least one interview. Hopefully I'll get around to doing the Team Spaß' January challenge tomorrow -- I still have to figure out which song to translate. Perhaps "Auf Kurs" by Oomph. --- Translations Gestern habe ich mein letztes Winterexamen gemacht, und jetzt bin ich bereits für eine Woche mit Sprachlernen, C++ zu lernen und Placement-Stellenbewerbungen schreine, und hoffentlich bekomme zumindest ein Aufforderung zu eine Bewerbungsgespräch. Morgen hab ich vor die Team Spaß-challenge zu machen, doch ich hab noch keine Ahnung welches lied ich wählen möchte. --- 昨日最後の一学期期末試験が終わって。 今からの一週間、 語学したりＣ＋＋を勉強したり インターンシップ申し込みし たり するつもりだ。 希望的には、面接ステージまで遂げる・・・ 明日ＳＰＡＳＳチームのチャレンジをしよう とするが、 歌手翻訳の対歌は当分選ばれない・・・ Edited by stifa on 25 January 2014 at 1:09am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

So here's my attempt at translating the lyrics of Auf Kurs by Oomph!
The hardest part of it was finding suitable English expressions, except maybe the last chorus where there was an expression that didn't make much sense in German either. ------------------------- Nur weil ich langsam erfrier Only because I'm slowly freezing to ice Find ich zu dir ...do I seek you Ich weiß genau wo kein Mensch jemals war I know exactly where no one ever was, Bin ich dir nah ...I'm close to you. --- Um mich nur strahlendes Weiß Around me, all is blindingly white Hier tief im ewigen Eis Here, deeply in eternal ice Hab ich den Kompass verlorn ...have I lost my compass Ich bin auf Kurs Im on my way [en route / on course] Zurück zu dir ...back to you Der Sturm treibt mich über die See The storm drives me over the sea, Hinfort von hier ...away from here Ich such deine Spuren im Schnee I follow your traces in the snow, ---- Nur wo die Engel erfriern ...but only where the angels freeze to ice Kann ich dich spürn I can sense where you are Erst wenn mein Blut in den Adern gefriert First when my blood freeze in my veins Werd ich berührt am I moved [emotionally] Ich hab die Hölle durchquert I've been through hell Von deiner Kälte gezehrt been worn by your coldness, Und alle Hoffnung verlorn and lost all hope. (Chorus) Verlier mich denn ich bin auf Kurs Rid you of me (???) 'cause I'm on my way (Maybe "shake me off" or something, I guess...) Zurück back Zu dir to you (More chorus...) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

So I decided to ditch Anki again. The process of reviewing and adding a new batch of
cards took up an entire hour each day, and spending that hour reading would give me a lot more exposure to the language. In addition, I got an invitation to a job interview today! :D So I guess I'll have to spend some time preparing for that as well. The interview's next Wednesday, and the place isn't really that far away. - Incoming loose translation - So ich habe mir noch mal entscheiden, mit Anki aufzuhören. Der Prozess des Wiederholen und Hinzufügung daurte bis zu einer Stunde, und ich möchte lieber dieses stunde bie Lesen verbringen. Zudem wurde ich heute zu einem Bewerbungsgespräch eingeladen! :D Ich schätze dass ich ein bisschen Zeit beim Üben verbringen. Das Interview findet am nächsten Mittwoch statt, und die potenzielle Arbeitsgeber ist nich so weit entfernt von hier.

So, January is nearing its end. I didn't make any aims for January, but here is a short
summary of what I've done: JAPANESE - Read approx. 500 pages of the 4th Harry Potter book - Did way too little listening - I need to find a few TV shows to watch GERMAN - I finished the following books: Mordgesindel, Moe Teratos; Die Erfindung des Abschieds, Friedrich Ani - Currently reading Böser Wolf (Nele Neuhaus) - Did a lot of listening practice: watched some Dokus, V-Logs and "Let's play" videos My aims for february: - (Japanese) Get more listening practice - (Japanese) Read for at least an hour a day. I'm planning to prioritise Japanese for the first few weeks of the second semester, starting this Monday. The reason for this is that I really want to finish that HP book during February - it's been 40-ish days already, and I really want to finish it so that I can move on to other books. Giving it up is not an option after about 650 pages :p 1 person has voted this message useful | |

February summmary:
GERMAN - Finished "Böser Wolf" and about two-thirds of "Vaterland" (Translation of "Fatherland") - About 40-50 hours of listening practice - I don't really keep track JAPANESE - Finished 炎のゴブレット - Virtually no listening practice -- I still haven't found anything to watch :p This month I can't really do much, because I really need to catch up with lectures -- (possibly) norovirus infection, a light flu-like something, job interviews, and an eye infection that just didn't settle, and also made my eyes very sensitive to light, which means that I couldn't go to lectures or do anything productive on my computer (even with the brightness turned all the way down)... I'm usually never ill though, February's just been a really bad exception to the rule. :D 1 person has voted this message useful |
