In my experience, before I bought a Kindle Paperwhite, most L2->L1 dictionaries won't work on the high end Kindles (Fire HD, etc) or on Android...
Tough weekend for language learning. Friday I got sick and stayed that way all weekend. I also went out of town to visit my mom for her birthday. But...
@Big_Dog Great post, it seems we are of the same opinion on reading. I also gave lingQ a try. Like you, I don't want to read on the computer. Being...
For this German experiment I'm not opposed to 1 or 2 courses but I want to avoid course after course after course. To me, they aren't interesting...
Yesterday: A bit of a lazy day. On the morning commute I did Pimsluer lesson 11. I found it a bit difficult. Work was difficult yesterday and my...
Pimsleur: repeated lesson 9 and did lesson 10, twice during the commute. Yes, it was a terrible commute today (to and from work). On the plus side,...
Monday...re-did lesson 8 and did lesson 9 of Pimsleur + some Memrise in the evening. Memrise taught me "Gibt es Bier?" last night. Quite possibly the...
Yeah, I've tried the official directions, the way EMK suggests, the Luca Method. Generally, I do a new lesson in the evening for 20-30 minutes. The...
Yes and several over on HTLAL. I really disliked the Assimil Spanish with Ease. So much so that I used several other courses and never looked at the...
Did Pimsleur lesson 8 today. Mostly good. I will probably repeat it on the drive to work in the morning and do lesson 9 in the afternoon. As boring...
Today.... Did lesson 7 of Pimsleur and feel comfortable with it. Did lesson 5 of Assimil. A few things are a little iffy with it and I will...
I have to admit I also bought his book. I read through it on a trip a couple of months ago. I found nothing of substance in it. At best I see Benny's...
Thanks :) Yes, that is exactly what I've been doing last night/today. Trying to drill those into my head. I think they are just about...
Still plugging away at this but hadn't updated the log in a couple of days. I'm up to lesson 7 of Pimsluer. So far, so good with those. For whatever...
Update for today.. Pimsleur lessons 4 and 5, both went well. Chapter 5 of DWN + worksheets. New vocab/phrases from DWN added to Anki.
I have several MT courses. I think the student that bugs me the most was the woman in the French Foundation course. There were times, driving down...
@Peregrinus Do you have any experience with Assimil German with Ease? Good, bad, indifferent? How does it compare to DWN?
Finished lesson 4 of Pimsleur on the drive home tonight. I will re-listen to it in the morning. Did lesson 4 of DWN and the worksheets. Ex is a bit...
@Peregrinus Glad to hear you like the DW material. I'm hoping that I will too and will be able to use a lot of it. @Big_Dog Thanks! And thanks for...
Guten Abend! This log is to follow my progress with learning German. I'm starting from scratch and my goal is to make it to B2. I'm still debating...
