I started learning Spanish in November because it seemed practical.
I started learning Irish in December because Spanish seemed too practical. I started learning French in late December because I got mesmerized by the Lingvist application. Many thanks to people on this forum for sharing their ideas and experiences. I've been lurking a few weeks and picked up both Lingvist and L-R from this forum. Spanish: Hours: 167/600 Courses: Duolingo (lvl 21), Assimil (lesson 11) Other: El Chivo (telenovela), a couple easy non-fiction books Irish: Hours: 83/1100 Courses: Duolingo (lvl 15), Buntus Cainte (lesson 21) Other: a little bit of random Irish TV French: Hours: 41/600 Courses: Lingvist (4200+ words) Other: Listening-Reading with Le Comte de Monte Cristo, on chapter 4. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thank you, tristano.
I was busy with work this week, but have a long commute and discovered podcasts so it wasn't a total loss. I'm not adding hours spent listening to podcasts to my totals, however. Too easy to zone out. Spanish Hours: 168/600 Courses: Duolingo (finished), Assimil Spanish w/Ease (lesson 15). Media: Podcasts (Nomadas RNE, really good). I listened to several of these. My comprehension was about 20%. I liked Groenlandia the best so far, but they are all good. Irish Hours: 85/1100 Courses: Duolingo (finished), Buntus Cainte Book 1, lesson 26 Media: I just downloaded some podcasts (recorded talk radio about issues in the west of the country) and listened about 20 minutes. I was relatively satisfied with my progress. I could pick out phrases like "maith go leor" and "freisin go dona anois", etc. This would be thanks to Buntus Cainte. I knew the general topic they discussed, but my overall comprehension was maybe 3%. French: Hours: 43/600 Courses: I finished the Lingvist memorize section (4695 words), and am working on the listening and reading sections. Media: Comte de Monte Cristo, chapitre six.
