I going to have to withdraw. I said that I would participate if there were at least ten people doing the same language. However, it seems that everyone is going with whatever language interests them (which is good, of course). There are some interesting languages on that list, so I'll be sure to read your logs. Good luck everyone!

I do agree it would be better if there was more people learning each language, so that we could help each other out.

I find the challenge of Sprachprofi very interesting and I was tempted to join in, but after several days of deliberation I have decided not to participate in the game.
I started out learning Russian March 5. from scratch and yesterday - after almost exactly 6 weeks - I had a minor epiphany moment when I suddenly realized that I was reading some text on another linguistical homepage in the Russian original instead of using the English translation. I still don't master the language, and I still can't read a newspaper or novel nor speak the language, but things are definitely going in the right direction. Alas, I haven't followed half hour rule (2 hours a day is more realistic), and my study program has been deliberately lopsided the first month and a half precisely because I knew that my time frame is longer than 6 weeks, and that the extreme focus on word acquisition now has to be balanced by other elements. Furthermore my feeling about starting new languages is that it is in the beginning that you have to do the hard time-consuming work, later you can relax. With half an hour daily for 6 weeks I might be able to activite a passive language such as Swedish or Norwegian, but I would not get a useable language if I chose something more exotic if I didn't from the beginning invest the time that the task deserved. So good luck to the participants, but I'm not in he game. 1 person has voted this message useful |
