Re: [videoblogging] Are you learning another language?
Don't be too hard on yourself. You already speak two or more languages that I know of, and that gives you a huge advantage over adult learners who have never learned another language - learning a new language is hardest for them. That said, you've chosen one of the world's hardest languages, and I've been told that it takes at least 5 years to begin to speak Mandarin properly. But, hey - better to try than not! And think of the sheer mass of people you will then be able to speak to! On 1/17/07, R. Kristiansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey all, I am in the middle of trying to learn another language: Mandarin.

Good luck dude! I've been trying to learn German for a few years now and my recent vlog hobby has dented my time to practice even more. JC www.jchtv.com R.

Re: [videoblogging] Are you learning another language?
Anyway: Are you learning another language? If so, what are your tools? How do you do it? Are there others who are documenting their attempts to learn a new language on a videoblog? I struggle with trying to learn Japanese. I do okay at it, but I don't have any regular conversation partners, so I get virtually no practice. I have kanji flash cards and I try to keep up with JapanesePod101 when I can, but I fall behind. I'd like to take the JLPT-4 next December, but it feels like such a far away goal. JapanesePod101 is interesting in that they created iLove, which is basically a mashup video blog of their viewers trying their conversational Japanese skills out. -- Rhett. http://www.weatherlight.com/freetime

I have to say www.chinesepod.com is one of the best language podcasts I have ever come across... I gotta say, learning Chinese is tough, however it is not impossible. nathan miller www.bicycle-sidewalk.com --- R.
