Mary's Language Log

[MaryP]

Hello All,

This is my first attempt at a language log..hope I'm doing this right.

I dabble in several languages, but at the moment my emphases lie in Spanish and Italian.

My current study strategy for Italian is study 30 minutes with Pimsleur Gold Italian, completing a unit and then augmenting with Routledge Intensive or Innovative Language to make sure I get 30 minutes.

I also have an Italian tutor for an hour once a week. Our first meeting was last week.

For Spanish, I listen, watch, speak, write, or read on my own and also go to a conversation group.

I have a solid 30 minutes or more of Italian study everyday, since 13 January, inclusive.

I haven't been tracking my Spanish lately. My DLPT in Spanish is 4/3. My Italian in 2012 was a 3/2, but right now it is about a 1/1. My goal is to reach the 3/2 level in April 2019. My tutor says he's confident that I will.

Welcome, Mary!!

I want to sign up for Generic x1, I'll be studying Italian (I already have a tutor) and Spanish (Castilian, and other forms), and I'll probably include a smattering of French, Arabic, Catalan, and the language of the Andalusian Jewish diaspora in North Africa.

What an interesting collection of languages! By language of the Andalusian Jewish diaspora in North Africa, do you mean Haketia/Ladino Occidental? I look forward to reading more about your language learning!

This is your log. No right or wrong way!

And good to see another person in here who takes/took DLPTs! Welcome!

Mary, how's your Italian going? I'm signing up for the Italian DLPT today. Wonder if it is a 5 or one of the old versions.
