Hey, welcome to the club. :-P The most important thing is that you're still studying. I saw from our TAC thread that you just finished Don Quixote in Dutch - congratulations! I'm always impressed by how much you read.

Cette aprés-mîdi, j'ai reçu de mes parents un bel tas des choses, dont quelques de mes anciens trucs de mon
enfance. Celles-ci inclusé vieux feuilletons "Garfield" en allemand. J'adore Garfield depuis trés, trés longtemps. Quand j'ai habité en Allemagne, chaque semaine arrivait une nouvelle édition. Puis, j'ai retourné chez les États- Unis, et j'ai écrit à le société que le publiait, et j'ai priée s'ils pourront envoyer une abonnement aux États-Unis. Alors, ça demandait un peu d'argent en plus, mais, "but" pour moi! (Note--nearly no editing, grammar checking, etc., essentially written off-the-cuff to see how well I could do.) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Well, that was an audiobook, but it did still take about 8 hours. At one point, the person recording it (a public domain LibriVox recording) accidentally put the same chapter in twice, which was a bit annoying... 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Assimil Russian: 50 lessons completed! Plus active wave, lesson 1. Lesson 1 is pretty trivial (hi, how are you, good
thanks), so quick and painless start to the active wave. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Иногда, я говорю по-французски с моей женой. Она слишком хорошо не понимает, и почти ничего умеет
говорить, но это больше, чем ничего нет. Так же, как мой русский, действительно. дети не понимают по- французски. значит будет бы французский нашим тайный язык, если она была узнать чуть-чуть больше. Finished 400 pages of Гарри Поттер и Орден Феникса (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix), and making good progress in Harry Potter e il Principe Mezzosangue (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince). I'm noticing that reading both the Italian and the Russian is noticeably easier than it was a couple weeks ago. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Harry et le directeur de l'école, Silente (c'est-à-dire, Dumbledore, en version italien), viennent de voir la mémoire
d'une vielle elfe de maison, qui a vu le jeune Celui-Dont-On-Ne-Doit-Pas-Prononcer-Le-Nom visiter sa maîtresse.Tout comme la dernière fois, quand Tom Riddle (ou Tom Jedusor, si ça vous dit) a tué ses parents, une innocente, cette fois-ci, la pauvre elfe, a avouée le crime, tout en croyant ce qu'elle dit. Ce ne fait part de la mémoire, mais ils savent, que Tom est une fois de plus coupable d'un meurtre horrifiant. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

This week I met someone who grew up speaking German, until his father made him learn Yiddish. He later learned
Hebrew in Israel, and now of course he speaks English, because he's American. He was an interesting character. Afterwards, I sent him a text message in Yiddish, and then the next time I saw him he came and gave me a big hug. שבוע טוב / Have a good week, everyone! 1 person has voted this message useful |
