This week wasn't the truly productive in terms of language learning. I've watched some youtube videos and a few coursera ones and read a few chapters of 'The Family way' by Tony Parsons plus a bit of this forum. I've also gone through a chapter from the book 'CPE Use of English' by V. Evans which was surprisingly relatively easy for me.

Since last post I've been watching a few youtube channels by girls living in England. Most of them are on beauty stuff, nothing ambitious, but I will continue to watch them as I want to practise listening to British accents. BBC radio is also very helpful for that but I wanted to diversify my listening materials a bit. It also give me some areas of vocab I usually wouldn't get that much from radio or books (neither textbooks nor novels). I think I should watch something about cooking / eating as well. I'm not very familiar with food vocabulary, I know only the basics. For more advanced vocab I've read a few articles on science daily.
A bit of vocab: atrocious abyss chickpea be bunged up ingrained reek preppy disseminate be a breeze creep up grit liniment caveat hallmark stave off latitude prevalent culprit 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It's time to sum up my 2014 progress.
Italian I wanted to go up from A2 to B1+. I was about to focus on Italian but needed to neglect it in fact. It turned out that for a few months I had little time for languages at all and that English needs to be my priority so I think I made no progress and my Italian is still A2. German I wanted to go up from B1+ to B2. A bit of progress when it comes to business German, very little on grammar which is still my weakest point. That's why I can't say I'm at B2 level but B1+. English The biggest progress here however still a lot to do to reach the level I want. I would say I'm at C1 level. Swedish I've learnt a few basic phrases and that's all so I'm still A0. 1 person has voted this message useful |
