Albanian Two hours with my language helper. We did an activity I designed to help me learn the possessives. I took the pieces of paper with lots of nouns I've learned (animals, people, family, etc) and divided them between us on opposite sides of the table. Then we gave eachother commands like "where is your goat? give me your goat?", "put your pillow on my frog". That was all I did today :| I've been slacking a lot on Albanian. It's easier to study Arabic or Spanish because I've more fun activities I can do (talking, reading, listening, etc). I need to step it up ASAP. 2 hr language helper Arabic Took an italki session today. I really enjoyed the session, it felt great to stretch that conversational muscle. We talked for about an hour about my travels, the tutor correcting me occasionaly. I really liked how she corrected me, instead of interrupting me whenever I made an egregious error, she must have been taking notes. Then, in a lull or after a thought was finished, she'd turn around and ask me questions about how to say something. Either it would be sentence I had said, and she'd ask "is this sentence correct, if not, where's the error?" Or she would give an example of something I said and provide more suitable words (سبت مصر" بدل هن "جرجت مصر", مثلا"). Then I did about 30 min of Anki adding+reviews. 1hr italki skype session 30min Anki adding+reviews Spanish Procrastinating :| 26 & 27 -10-2013 Ya rabbi! I barely studied at all over the weekend. I did a few Anki reviews, that's it. :| 30 min Anki (albanian+arabic) Edited by Ramblurr on 28 October 2013 at 11:42am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thank you! It's mysterious how life works out, each one of these languages has always just fallen in my lap given whatever circumstances I happen to find myself in out in the world. To be honest, I'm not sure what my long term goals are for the languages in my list. I may never meet another Quechua speaker again, or come back to Albania once I leave here. But for now I know, I want to maintain - nay, improve-them, as I find them all irresitebly fascinating in their own way.
Hola Vos! Muchas gracias por la bienvenida y por expresar interés en mis estudios. Si, Quechua es una lengua hermosa y extraordinaria. Desde el momento en que oír la Quechua en Ecuador, sabía que iba a tener que aprender en poco de este lengua y su gente. Yo encontré este podcast tambien cuando estaba estudiando Quechua en Peru. Verdad, es de bien calidad y tal vez sea el mayor fuente de audio Quechua en el internet. Los partes cuando hablan las señoras y señores Quechua son las mas util, porque hay tambien estudiantes que hablan con algúnas errores. He empezado un proyecto para poner mas recursos de Quechua en el internet, pero unfortunamente la vida me ha distraído (??). Lo poco que ya puse esta aqui http://quechua.binaryelysium.com. Pero tengo muchas horas mas de audio original, cuentas y entrevistas que grabé cuando estaba en los Andes. Ojalá que encuentre el tiempo para completarlo. 1 person has voted this message useful |
