German diary

Сообщение Вэддард »

Hello everyone!

Here I want to share with you a notes about learning German. Actually, I practiced matrix method when was learning English: 6 month worked with dialogs, then read about 9000 pages and was listening podcasts and lectures. So, what can I say, may be my grammar not so good but it is not matter in this stage and I think (hope) it will came later. Really what I enjoy now it is feeling the language, thinking in English. And it is sad when I try to explain someone this method of learning languages, share with them my thoughts they simply don't understand me and ask question like "Are your brain okey after listening 3 hours every day one short dialog?" or "How is it possible to read 100 pages per day on foreign language? Are you kidding?" So, like poet said: "Today I have found you and those who laughed and scorned me yesterday are sorry that they were not looking as I did".

You can ask me: "Why are you writing in English?". I'll answer, my dear friends (comrade if you wish) that main reason why I decided to write in English it is because I want improve my writing skill and I hope some experienced students will help me correcting my grammar mistakes.

So, lets begin journey on our ship "Matrix method" toward land which called "Deutsch".

Hello!

I can understand your writing, and it proves that you can really feel the language! Congratulations :) From my experience, though, ignoring grammar completely is not the best strategy, at least for self-directed learners like us... I'd recommend you to start reading some English grammar (like one chapter a day, before going to sleep), that would make things faster.
and ask question like "Are your brain okey after listening 3 hours every day one short dialog?"
:D
Most people don't need any foreign language. That's why they ask all these questions instead of being curious about any techniques that could be helpful, should they really need them...
and I hope some experienced students will help me correcting my grammar mistakes.
The desire to improve (your grammar or anything) should come from within ;) First, show us that you're trying hard to write correctly, and then we'll see...

P.S. Are you really improving your English and learning German at the same time? Do you have a learning strategy already, maybe a schedule? Please share.

Thanks for your advices! Yeah, I'll try to improve English and learn German at the same time. And, I think, I have some strategy: during "matrix period" I'll read books
in English and sometimes would learn grammar. Of course if that would not be a hindrance for learning German. After 7-8 month when I'll finish matrix I'll spend more time
for reading in German, because 3 hours per day not enough for reading 100 pages (not for me). Briefly,this is my plan in short term).
Actualy, I begun my sailing toward desired land 1 month ago and now I'm listning third dialog.

I've underlined mistakes and added right (in my opinion) words in a bold font.
I've made these notes not because of good knowledge of the grammar but sooner because I feel the language this way.
You can do better - instead of reading my pitiful notes you can use this service of italki.com and receive corrections from native speakers.

Better make it one chapter a week or one chpater a month. Sounds more realistic.
