It definitely seems like I need some more structure to my studying, so I will try to set up weekly goals, starting this week. Every week, vocabulary, reading, writing and listening should be included. I don’t really know how to include speaking. Just reading a text I’m reading out loud won’t help much, cause I won’t be sure of the pronunciation (unless I’m going to look up every single word in the dictionary… why don’t the online dictionaries mark accents? Why why why?).
Vocabulary: The words from “Два слова о японском: nitto-onna’s ame-unication”, a list of which I will post later. Training through Pauker.
Reading: A new novella from Десять новелли.
Listening: Listening to that new novella, but also at least 3 hours of passive radio listening.
Writing: Blog posts, and a task – Aleksey’s choice of subject!
Grammar: Looking over the correction of my essay on Pride
So we’ll see how that works out… I should be doing some shadowing as well (that’s for the pronunciation part), but I’ll include that in the listening of the new novella. This I hope to accomplish before the week-end, in order to put up new goals for next weekend. Which is however, my birthday weekend, so I guess we may have a nice cozy dinner or something like that!
