No problem. Reviewing what we set up to do can be a learning experience.
I still have a few things to wrap up, but I think so. EDIT (less than one hour later): I just joined TAC with Arabic and Sanskrit. Edited by Luso on 13 December 2014 at 10:33pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Way to go, Expug! :D You don't happen to have a European passport or a European
university inscription lying around somewhere, do you? Because the online Chinese courses at Dalarna University (Swedish university, but courses taught in English completely via the internet) take only four semesters to lead to C1 Mandarin - I just completed Mandarin IV and as last assignment we did a mock HSK 5 test and it seems that everyone passed. The pace was intense, though only meeting one time two hours per week. I was lucky that a lot was review for me. But if you sign up for one of the courses, I'm sure you could improve your Chinese beyond your wildest dreams in 2015. Unfortunately they are quite expensive normally; only Europeans get in for free. My next language shall be Hebrew. I'm not sure I'll join a TAC Team again, probably not. Maybe a tandem. We'll see. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

No, not really =D Are these courses entirely online? Now that you mention it, I have access to a good native teacher who owns a school, and I considered taking some classes. Maybe I should really give it a try.

Yes, completely online. 2 hours a week per course, but plenty plenty of homework.
Quality of teachers and intensity varies widely, generally you can take 10 years of classes at a language school and not reach C1. Edited by Sprachprofi on 17 December 2014 at 10:51pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thank you Serpent, but they mean EU or EEA (Norway, Lichtenstein...) So, we're on the same boat (or out of it, actually :D)

As I had suggested for the end-of-year challenge, I just recorded a presentation in
Chinese as a lasting record of my current level. The topic is "Distinguishing languages and dialects" - I originally prepared this presentation for my beginning Chinese linguistics class at Dalarna University. Every student had to do some presentations and I found that an excellent tool for practicing active language skills. http://youtu.be/l8qH532Zgk8 1 person has voted this message useful |
