Looks great! Is this the new edition, completely different?

I'm not familiar with other editions but this was published in 2013, the most recent one. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

French;
Doing a fair bit of translation on Duolingo. Although I finished the tree I didn't do any review really so am at a reasonably low level xp-wise. I admit my goal is to increase my visible level, and if my French improves that is a nice side product! Need to catch up on my MOOCs, been way too lazy lying around watching the cricket today. French/Indonesian: I have never really used Memrise because my mind just wanders for some reason. But I signed up for their February challenge to do 20,000 points a day in one course for 12 days. I'm doing an "Advanced French Phrases" one and two Indonesian vocab ones. Day three and going pretty good, the iPhone app is much better to use than the website IMO so I'm doing them mostly on that. Did Latihan 1 (Lesson 1) in Assimil L'indonesien. I'm taking my time and writing every out in French and Indonesian so I don't think I'll be doing one a day but hopefully a few per week. So far I'm very happy with it. All the French at this basic stage is easy for me but I assume it will get harder. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The Memrise challenge is going well except I think the Advanced French thing was a
mistake since there are a lot very obscure words (I know, I know it says Advanced but obscure even for that). I'm not super motivated to learn that 'le panicaut' are 'thistlelike flower heads' so this deck is a bit of a chore. I'm stubborn enough to want to get my 12 day streak and 'win' the challenge though so I persevere. I'm also doing a "Reading French Newspapers' deck it's much better, challenging and a lot of new stuff for me but much more in the realms of useful. The Indonesian decks are particularly good, this is the kind of brute force kickstart I need after a fairly sleepy first six weeks on Indonesian. Oh, and (I don't think I've mentioned this) I've started Danish on Duolingo. It's sort of an experiment to see how far along I can get only using Duo and no other resources and only the reading - with the listening and speaking exercises turned off. I'm enjoying it so far and restricting it to Duolingo means I'm not tempted to let it bite into time on my 'main' two languages. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've used memrise before. and it definitely can feel like a chore, but every once in a while you will find a
deck that seems like it was made for you. Keep up the good work! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

During the great maintenance apocalypse I sort of got out of my HTLAL daily habit but
I'm picking it up again! Hit Level 25 (the highest) for French on Duolingo. Once you get to translation tier four in Immersion you can really rack up the points quickly (5xp for each word checked, 1xp for each word translated) so it was quite easy to go from about level 17 to level 25. They've added new units to the French course which I had finished so I'm going to go back and do those. I brought my Assimil L'indonesien and workbook to work and I plan to try and do it at lunch times. This week I'm starting a class Tuesdays and Thursdays at Alliance Francaise. After a year of self-study/iTalki classes I'm very interested to see how I go back in a group, and how I compare. Base don the online test they put me in A2.4, the last stage before B1 which seems fair but I'm very curious to see what level every one is at. I'm also thinking about how to change my study habits to accomodate the fact I'm doing this class 4 hours a week - like, I think I'm just going to concentrate on Glossika, Memrise and a bit of Duo daily, and drop a lot of the reading I'm doing in order to just concentrate on the class material. I didn't end up completing the 12 day streak in the Memrise challenge but it doesn't matter since it was what I needed to inspire me to actually use Memrise on a regular basis which is not perfect but useful. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I was rather nervous/curious before my Alliance Francaise class because I had zero
idea how I would compare to the others, having not done any group classes for more than a year. But it turned out to be the perfect level for me. My accent is crap but I thought it compared quite favourably to the others (all but one had done the previous AF course that finished last week), as did my vocab. I was a bit shown up on the grammar because it happened to be relative pronouns which is my NEMESIS, can never keep qui/que/a qui straight. However I think any other grammar points for this level I would have been fine. So that was good. I like the teacher and I was wondering who she reminded me of the whole lesson – and I finally realised it was Norman that guy that does the funny French youtube videos. After that I couldn’t stop hearing Norman when she spoke, maybe they come from the same part of France. Anyway, she was good. In addition to les devoirs, she said she would give us a writing exercise every week which was not obligatory but would be a good exercise. The first one is to write a magazine article thing about friendship – based on the topic in the first unit of the textbook, Alter Ego 2. I think I’ll treat it like my own personal output challenge and really put in some effort since I can’t remember the last time I wrote more than two sentences of French back to back. Since the classes are Tuesday and Thursday though I have a short time before tomorrow night to knock it off. Edited by redflag on 11 March 2015 at 1:40am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Mes devoirs:
C'était Harry Truman qui dit: "Si vous voulait un ami de Washington, achetez-vous un chien." Quelquefois tout le monde se sent le même que le président. La amitié vraie, c'est n'existe pas. Mais en même temps, dans la monde virtuel, nous avons plus d'amis que jamais. Est-ce que l'amitié exactement? Selon la dictionnaire l'amitié est une sentiment d'affection entre deux personnes ou le attachement, sympathie qu'une personne témoigne à une autre Il existe différents degrés de l'amitié. Qu'est-ce qu'un vrai ami? On peut dire c'est un(e) confident(e) qu'on révèle nos chaque pensées. Quelqu'un qui nous faisons confidence absolument. En plus, une amite complicite souvent existe entre frères et soeurs. Les amis virtuel est le un sujet à controverse. Les amis qui nous connaissons seulement sur les réseaux sociaux. Beaucoup des personnes rapportent que ces amis sont très importantes. D'autre part, ils ne sont pas proche quand on les avons besoin. 1 person has voted this message useful |
