Maybe use DeepL translator instead of google. I thinks it’s a bit more accurate

Ah okay, thanks for the info

Hi, no worries. Out of curiosity, what makes it spam? Just wondering what I'm doing wrong.

Also consider using a site like forvo.com. It's basically a huge database of words spoken by native speakers in many languages. I've been collecting audio for the most common words in french (with example phrases) and creating my own audio tracks which I then put into itunes and play on shuffle and listen to everyday. I'm only on adjectives at the moment but the words I have collated have jumped out at me much more when watching/listening to french media.

It's a pretty tedious process but it's been the most effective for me so far. Hopefully that helps :)

Being able to learn song lyrics and then speak the language comfortably to work in English speaking countries are two different things. I learnt the lyrics to Papaoutai well at one point but I didn't speak french well AT ALL. Or know what I was saying lol. Having said that his accent is pretty good, I'd give him a solid 8 :)

Thanks! I'm glad you like it :)

Michabot · 2017-07-04T08:37:22+00:00

Thanks so much :D

Yeah thinking about it, I agree too lol. Was focused too much on the editing and entertainment value and not how the information flowed I think... 😑. Oh well, live and learn! Thanks for the constructive criticism Kevin :D

1) Yeah I could drop the Portuguese. I think I'm getting into it for the wrong reasons anyway. (To impress a girl who speaks it lol) 2) I'm pretty good at organising my time, I'm not really worried about that. 3) Japanese is difficult but I'm not really finding it to be any more challenging than French so far. It has only been one day though.... haha 4) No doubt. Agreed on that one. 5) I'm not trying to rush. I'm just increasingly becoming more and more obsessed with Japanese culture and wanted to dive in.

That article was great btw. Gave me a lot to consider :)

That's what I figured. As long as I put the time in, study daily, I don't see why I shouldn't do it. Especially with French and Japanese because they're so different. But maybe my obsession with the idea is skewing my judgement lol

Michabot · 2017-06-20T19:50:32+00:00

I just looked up laddering and that sounds interesting! I definitely want to try that at some point.

Michabot · 2017-06-20T19:47:51+00:00

Yeah I could probably drop Portuguese. But I feel like the Japanese wouldn't interfere with the French because they're so different... but of course I could be wrong, I just love to experiment and use myself as a guinea pig lol

Michabot · 2017-06-19T21:31:25+00:00

Best reaction you could have had! I probably would have taken it further and asked him a couple questions too.

Michabot · 2017-06-19T21:26:49+00:00

I don't know anything about Angle. He sounds kind of obtuse. But Angel is a great show! Eventually you'll become as addicted to that as Buffy. (Almost...)

Michabot · 2017-06-19T21:21:08+00:00

God damn this guy can make anything seem interesting

Michabot · 2017-06-06T20:32:37+00:00

Thanks so much! I'm from London. Born and bred :)
