TAC 2016 - france-eesti (English, Portuguese, Hungarian, Estonian)
Posted: 2016-04-10, 21:16
Hi there !
Looks like we're on a fashion here so might as well jump in and join the group !
So here's about my obsession on learning languages :
[flag=]en[/flag] English
Started something like 23 years ago ( omg makes me feel so old!). Loved it a lot.
Now I still write and read a lot in English and try to practice it orally each time I can (and not only by watching Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives and Love Actually in English)
My aim is just to carry on.
[flag=]pt[/flag] Portuguese
Learned it for 1 year in University in France and Portugal.
I still practice it by reading and writing too (a few Paulo Coelho books are here with me, happy to see me even if it's for the 3rd or 4th time).
My aim is just to carry on.
[flag=]et[/flag] Estonian
Now this one... is a heartbreaking.
I tried very hard. Really, I'm not kidding, I tried super hard. But I dunno what happened. I loved it very much but it didn't happen.
And I am the most tenacious human being ever. (or so my mother thinks)(and my workmates). So what happened?
But I said just a short "hüvasti" (good bye) to Eesti Keel. We'll see each other very soon, hopefully
(and though it is "not recommend", I WILL go to Eesti )
[flag=]hu[/flag] Hungarian
Now, this one is good and healthy. Learning on 50 languages, with 2 Skype language exchange partners, on various internet websites and above all, making my own themes and deciding "today, I'm learning this" and "today I'm learning that" and immediately practicing them. Levike also kindly plays with me, which is very useful as he is very patient Hungarians are delightfully patient with learners (well with me actually) and I do not regret having picked up Magyar.
And let's not forget I have this kind of condition :
Thus, the switch is still on the upper position for [flag=]en[/flag], [flag=]pt[/flag], [flag=]et[/flag] and [flag=]hu[/flag]
