I just stumbled upon your log. I'm impressed by all your German learning.

Thanks Patrick. Still waiting on the payoff...
How's your own German going? Whereabouts in Germany are you? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

[Not really a proper log entry- more a new list of resources]
As I've managed to buy a couple of DVDs lately from Oxfam with German soundtracks, I went through my collection to see what I have available to me. I found I have: Grease Ghostbusters 1 & 2 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix The Last Samurai Planes, Trains and Automobiles Office Space West Side Story Dr Flynn (TV) Friends (5 episodes) And Run, Lolam Run- of course. Ghostbusters was a very pleasant surprise! R.I.P. Ivan Reitman. So, finding that I'm only just 'sort of' understanding Peppa Pig (Peppa Wutz) without subtitles, this gives me plenty of listening practice :) Edited by yantai_scot on 13 May 2014 at 4:45pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My German is coming along, but still got a way to go. I am about B2 for reading/B1 for speaking at the moment. I'm living in Berlin, which helps. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Excellent! I love Berlin! I went a few years ago. I stayed in Mittel (?) for a week and
had a great time taking everything in. I'm aiming to return in the next few years with my best friend. She's German and well traveled but has never actually been to Berlin. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Week 14
w/e 18/5/14 Total time studying: 7 hours 30 mins Theme of the week(s):achieved more than I thought in the time Work completed Hugo book 1- 2/3rds of chapter 12 of 13 Assimil- lesson 50(first wave) and 1 (second wave) I finished 'Die Schwarze Isel'- Tim und Struppi! Yes, I'm still missing lots of words but I can read more for pleasure with what I do know. Poor Ranko, though... Thoughts Due to family stuff, couldn't fit studying in so well. Only have 1 more study session to finish the first Hugo book. Finally, I've reached the active wave with Assimil. I was a bit anxious about the translation side of things but it went completely fine. Goals for next week Need a quieter week this week so Assimil to lesson 55/5 Hugo Week 13- finish book. Edited by yantai_scot on 21 May 2014 at 2:56pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

2 whole months?! I have returned.
I just wasn't feeling up to doing any book work or listening- was constantly tired and having a fluctuating virus. In the end, it developed into sinus infection. Luckily, antibiotics did the trick. Otherwise, brain has been struggling fitting in exercise and art stuff plus medical appointments etc. Back to the grindstone on Monday! So, where am I? I have been meeting up with folks from my German class once a week for a chapter out of our Living German textbooks. This has definitely been useful to cement the basics. I've signed up for the Improvers' class at my local college. It needs 7 to run. I think so far 5 are definite. 2 definitely aren't. 1 not decided. 1 unknown. So we really need a couple of newcomers to our group to ensure it'll run. We'll only know the week before if it's running- should start 15th September. I've also just signed up to a 'Sherlock' fan group on Facebook that's in German. Might do a couple more. I was on a German language learners' one but it was oddly full of rather political middle East folk...so I left. Goals for this week To upload more 'Comedian Harmonists' mp3s to listen to. To upload more slow German podcasts To watch 30 mins of something in German- tv or dvd. To restart my Assimil course at lesson 50 (first wave) 1 person has voted this message useful |
