So now we’ve got the German, Russian and Japanese discs of Pimsleur.. All are quite good.
Russian seems to bee the easiest to pronounce. Go figure. For some reason I almost say gazpacho every time I’m supposed to say Mrs. (gezpajra?).. And if my mind starts to wander while doing a lesson, I might say the word they’re asking for in the wrong language. So I gotta stay focused.
Japanese has too many words that sound the same. But it’s still fun to learn. I’ve only done one lesson of that so far and I can only remember watashi, eigoga, iie, hai and sumimasen. It’ll all come back to me when I’ll do the next lesson. I hope. ^-^
Pimsleur, languages, Russian, German, Japanese
Luliriisi 
Erm.. I dunno what I was thinking when I started the third language. ^-^;;
I mean, I’ve studied German in school for 3 years so the Pimsleur isn’t teaching me *that* much new stuff, it’s mainly to work on my pronounciation.
Japanese was borrowed from the library for a friend and I decided to see what it was like..
Russian? Just felt like it. XD
And nope, I don’t live in a country where they’re spoken natively. While I was in Brussels, I rarely encountered German and in Finland only a handful of students were Russian.. so I’m just doing this for the hell of it.
I don’t *need* to know these languages.. I just want to learn ’em.
Good luck with your Chinese! (It’s on my list of languages to learn.. after Arabic)…
