edelweis Posted January 27, 2017 at 06:01 PM Author Report Posted January 27, 2017 at 06:01 PM 2018年10月 starting one term of university B1.2 Chinese classes (2hrs per week) and one year of beginner Japanese classes (1.5 hrs per week). 2018年12月 Japanese teacher crams as much info as possible into her 1.5h slot. I will need to review more seriously. Don't go to a university in China, young students are too young. (Actually, some of those youngsters are pretty impressive.) I can actually communicate in Chinese. Want to get used to listening to native speed speech => listening to Chinese media daily => Subscribed (again) to Chinese TV channels. => Automatized update of USB key contents for the player in my bedroom: 1 imandarinpod podcast, 1 imandarinpod "T" podcast, 1 nhk Japanese lesson for Chinese speakers, 1 episode of 新闻天天谈, 1 episode of 广播剧. Might want to get used to more diverse accents => youtube? Might want to learn more vocabulary and especially 书面语. Need a new phone and a decent data plan! Todo for 2019 (and/or later... no hurry) : review Chinese characters: transcribe easy chinesepod or imandarinpod podcasts, + use anki and/or pleco. compare stroke order of kanji and hanzi. write (letters, reports, etc) on L8. practice speaking with a prompt + recording myself + transcribing and asking for feedback on L8. read intensively (might re-read the online version of 圈子圈套 with the goal of learning every (new) word in it) read extensively (articles, comics, webnovels, novels, etc) keep up with the listening and put new words in pleco flashcards. ? take part in a Chinese speaking workshop at the local uni? ? take part in a Chinese class closer to home? January 2019 - 15' per day + extensive listening 01/01 ok (hz/ch, +tv) 02/01 ok (hz/ch, +tv/podcast) to 25/01 ok (hz/ch, +tv/podcast) (26/01 podcasts only) (27/01 nothing) 28/01 ok (hz/ch, +tv/podcast) to 31/01 ok (hz/ch, +tv/podcast) February 2019 - 15' per day + extensive listening 05/02 ok 07/02 to 09/02 ok 2 Quote
