Mareike, thanks for the audio material link! That will be very useful.
I have bought a couple of mickey mouse comic books, unfortunately I *still* cannot follow them. Will try in another 3-4 months. Patrick: It's just that I already have learning material and readers at hand, why not use them? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I just don't think the learning methods you are using are the most effective to learn German. I think it's great at the start if you want to get an in depth sense of grammar, but at a certain point its more efficient to bite the bullet and use native materials. But that's just my opinion... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am actually focusing on vokab now, grammar is just an add on in the material I am using. Anyhoo, I will complete Assimil and then reassess.

This week time logged on German: 7.5h
Assimil: 47-54 Active: 1-5 Assimil has ramped up the complexity. The Grammatical complexity is all right, but the "natural usage" complexity has gone up. Eg "Ja, dann wird's ja höchste Zeit." "über wen denn sonst?" I need to start reading the readers. I also think I spend quite a bit of time procrastinating not studying. Gotta cut that out. The ItchyFeet guy has been writing some blog posts on language learning - some of you might be interested. https://blogs.transparent.com/language-news/author/mrempen/ I'll also leave this here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VR-lA Gj_dlQ I recognise that there are some legitimate points which would lead to something like the above eg www.nytimes.com/2014/09/17/opinion/jochen-bittner-whats-behi nd-germanys-new-anti-semitism.html I just dont like that many innocent bystanders are catching some undeserved hate based purely on their appearance.

The week before last: 2hr 45 min.
Last week: 45 mins. Assimil: 55-58 Active: 6-9 Lesson 57 was tough, the hardest one so far!!!!!. Lesson 58: I didn't get the humor in this (it was supposed to be funny with some Witze). It's not that I have become lazy, it's that the past two weeks my work has required intensive mental effort (so much so that I have difficulty going to bed even though I am super tired because my brain is still racing). Last week was especially bad. I expect to be busy this week too. New constructs and words: jeder seiner (drei Sohne): genitive sogar: even nun: now/then; sometimes introduces a sentence as "well,..."; sometimes expresses irritation: Kommst du nun oder nicht? da: A whole lotta different uses which I dont know.

How much radio are you listening to each week and how much time are you spending on watching tv shows/films?
