:D


I did not like much A2/B1. It is really hard at the beginning and it does not not have the same emphasis on day-to-day language as A0/A1. Currently I am finishing the A2/B1 listening dialogues. Not so happy about it, I began moving into Serials: Czas Honorus and Ranczo. I got these through Empik.com.


I think I'm looking for vocab beyond day-to-day at this point, so I'll give the second book a shot. Thanks for mentioning that site-- is shipping to the US very expensive from there?

I worked through the backlog of reps, so now I'm back to adding sentences from the Univ. of Pittsburgh course. I'm at ~2800 cards thus far.

I have no idea. I have films sent to my in-laws in Poland. I pick them up when I visit. However, sometimes I buy ebooks by downloads -using paypal.

A good source of non standard vocabulary is Tygodnik Angora. I just discovered it. Voca is probably B2-C1. Easy read.

Just finished (very belatedly) lesson 7 of the same University of Pittsburgh textbook. I received Krok po kroku in the mail, but I haven't started it yet.

Reading-wise, I started another Harry Potter book, since the difficulty of my other resources was resulting in my avoiding reading altogether... So, easier it is!

I bought "Lingea: rozmównik polsko-angielski." I found it to be a wonderful source for colloquial sentences. It is for people English study people ale ma 1,400 haseł głównych i 15,000 przykładowych zdań. Pa pa.

Got to 3000 Anki sentences! Quite the milestone. I was hoping to finish Lesson 8 this week, but I don't think that'll happen unless I add cards during the weekend, which I don't typically do.

I want to finish Harry Potter 3 by the end of July, so I'm going to aim at 5% of the book (it's on Kindle) each day.
