At the material gathering front, I've been charged taxes for the DVDs for the 5th, 6th and 7th seasons of Futurama in German. The taxes are about the same as the actual price, which means I pay twice for them. At the current rate of over 4 reais for 1 euro, that means I paid around 8x the price in euros for those 3 dvds. I definitely need to find another way of having access to German media. On the good news, the Introductory Hebrew course with 90 lessons by Routledge is finally available, and that makes me wanderlust a bit more. I wonder how many "opaque" languages one can learn. At which point it becomes unbearable to learn all the vocabulary of a new language and thus experienced polyglots resort to only polishing up sister languages of those they already know? Maybe it's a topic I should open. I started Norwegian, Georgian, Russian, Mandarin and Estonian as transparent languages and although I am eager for more, be it Greek (which I believe won't be that hard in terms of vocabulary), Turkish, Hebrew, Arabic or Indonesian, I keep wondering if my brain really can take another language in my daily routine.
Still at the resources front, I bought the third e-book from a trilogy from a different bookstore, lit.ge . So far I had bought the two from saba.com.ge . Reason of change: I couldn't make saba's app work on iOs and had to open it on the website, so I could only read it while studying at the computer (or at the tablet through the website, not through the app, so only while I was online). Then I bought the phone with Android and managed to install saba's app and download the book, so now I can read it offline too. But I decided it was time to try lit.ge and open it on the tablet while offline, because the phone screen is too small, especially for Georgian. Well then...it turns out lit.ge's books can ONLY be opened at applications, they don't have an online library. So, since I can't install their Windows app here, that means I can't open it at the computer and so instead of a comfortable parallel reading at a large screen with a large font I will have to keep flipping my head up and down to the computer from the tablet or instead open the Portuguese translation on the phone and look left to rigth from a large to a small screen, both of which are uncomfortable. It turns out you have to consider all the variables while buying e-books!
More on Georgian: I read my first page intensively without a translation, and it went well! It was just the acknowledgments page, but it is rather long with over 10 paragraphs. I'm looking up about the same number of words in Georgian as I am with the basic texts at the Estonian textbook, some 3 per paragraph, still doable. But now back to "perpendicular reading".
My mind is finally adjusting to the Chinese audiobook. Now I'm following audio and text real-time, no pause to figure out what I'm reading, which is quite an improvement. This means I'm starting to associate meaning and sound which is an important step towards matching listening skills to reading skills. It's a text I can easily read but I couldn't follow while listening, even though I could decypher/transcribe the sounds. I believe I'm in the mood for Chinese: earlier I read 5 pages of the novel from Dan Brown instead of the usual 4, I could focus almost all the time and learn new vocabulary and I didn't even notice I was reading a bit more, as I wanted to finish a chapter.
Hit the jackpot for Georgian films. I don't think I will need to worry about finding a film I like next time. I can just watch the film I want to like in Georgian.
Ca$h (2008) is another film starring Jean Dujardin; I recommend it (in French, not voiced-over Georgian, though I understand the background French better than I usually do with the English one. I wonder if Serpent would watch a voice-over film and count it for both languages in the Super Challenge
Chatted in Russian a bit. Impressed with two phenomena: Google Translate is becoming more and more accurate for translations into Russian and b) My preevious idea of what to write is matching that translation more often as well, and when it doesn't, I'm more and more capable of evaluating which one is wrong and where, that is to say, the language starts to come more automatically, even adjectival declension. The conversation was fun because we discussed language learning strategies. It sounded like I was writing at the fora, though in Russian.
Needless to repeat but I will, the best moment of the day was reading in Estonian. Increasing the vocabulary coverage through leaps and bounds.
But in any case, I'll try to keep the noise level down so other people can study in peace.
