	talk to someone: not today. I had to cancel my Tagalog lesson due to spotty Wi-Fi. listen to something: 55 minutes of very intensive listening today! I transcribed a 4 minute cartoon. It was a lot of work. My husband went over it with me when I was done, and I was pretty close for the most part. Most of the words that I got stuck on were verbs that I haven't seen yet. reading: read several stories in my book bin write something: worked with -um- verbs today (see previous post. But don't read it unless you're studying Tagalog - because it's really, really boring) vocabulary: anki and memrise other: Pimsleur lesson 15. FINISHED! Overall, I'm happy with the experience. If I had the next 15 lessons, I'd do them. TOTAL TIME FOR TODAY: 134 minutes Edited by Stelle on 27 August 2014 at 11:36pm 1 person has voted this message useful

	Today, like yesterday, I mostly did course work. I promised myself that I'd finished lesson 9 of Elementary Tagalog before the end of the month, so I have to focus on it right now. I do find that my stamina is much higher when I mix course work with other stuff, like book bin reading, songs, or cartoons. When I do mainly course work and anki, I tend to put in only an hour. When I use a wider variety of resources, it's much easier to put in an hour and a half or even two. listen to something: dictation exercise from Elementary Tagalog lesson 9 reading: reviewed old texts from Elementary Tagalog write something: worked on exercises in Elementary Tagalog workbook vocabulary: anki and memrise TOTAL TIME FOR YESTERDAY: 58 minutes Edited by Stelle on 31 August 2014 at 2:13am 1 person has voted this message useful

	My goals for August were: - finish lessons 7 and 8 in Teach Yourself - DONE - finish lessons 8 and 9 in Elementary Tagalog - DONE - learn to sing a Tagalog song - DONE (Bumitaw - Let It Go) - find a children's show - DONE (lots of short cartoons on YouTube) My goals for September are: - finish lessons 9 and 10 in Teach Yourself - finish lessons 10 and 11 in Elementary Tagalog - learn to sing two new Tagalog songs - transcribe two more short Tagalog cartoons - translate four more Napoleon easy readers Not a big day for Tagalog today. But we did watch several episodes of the Walking Dead season four! Naglalakad ang mga patay! I've also been listening passively to a lot of Tagalog music over the past few days. listen to something: transcribing last listening exercise from Elementary Tagalog lesson 9 write something: hand-writing all listening exercises from Elementary Tagalog lesson 9 vocabulary: anki and memrise TOTAL TIME FOR TODAY: 42 minutes 1 person has voted this message useful

	I'm getting tired of these procedural updates. Just a few weeks left for the six-week challenge, and then I can do more general updates - the kind that I much prefer both writing and reading I didn't do any Tagalog at all yesterday - not a minute! I paid for it today, though, with double the anki and memrise words to review. Aside from vocabulary study with anki and memrise, all that I did today was a 30 minute conversational class on Skype. total time for today: 69 minutes Edited by Stelle on 03 September 2014 at 2:15am 1 person has voted this message useful

	Fact: living with a native speaker can be frustrating! When I ask my husband how to say something simple, he rattles off a long sentence using structures that I've never seen. Then he tells me it's easy when I ask if there's a simpler way to say it. Argh! Today I worked a bit on both my courses: Elementary Tagalog lesson 10 - entered new vocab into anki deck, did reading comprehension activity, quickly read through grammar explanations for this lesson (the Tagalog equivalent of prepositions) Teach Yourself Filipino unit 9 - first dialogue: listened several times, alternating reading in Tagalog and in English, and then copied the dialogue into my notebook I also... - watched two short cartoons on YouTube - read Prinsipe Malungkot (bilingual picture book) - wrote a paragraph describing my work - ran through my anki and memrise decks total time for today: 90 minutes 1 person has voted this message useful
