Ich habe hin und wieder Blutdruckprobleme. Normaleweise bringt mich Sport immer ins Gleichgewicht. Leider liegt noch Eis und Matsch auf dem Weg aber einen Spaziergang reicht. Es hilft wirklich, einen Gang runterzuschalten! Du findest deinen Rhythmus sicher bald.
Glückwünsch, 900! d(-_^) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

FRIDAY, 01 FEBRUARY 2012
Thanks to all for your kind words! I'm finally back to studying, and I hope this time I'm back for good. I worked through unit 17 in Colloquial Russian and unit 6 in Lehrbuch der schottisch-gälischen Sprache. I haven't done the exercises yet, but I think I'll do them over the weekend. Unit 17 is full with new vocabulary concerning health, medicine, and healthcare, so I'll have to chew on this massive input of new words. The grammar is rather easy, as the main point of the unit is the superlative of adjectives and adverbs. I already knew the superlative with самый, but I didn't know that one can also use the ending -ейший/-айший. Adverbs don't have a superlative, instead you have to use a construction with comparative + всех. Of course, some adjectives have irregular superlatives, but I still have to learn them. I also made a recording of myself reading out lesson 16 from Colloquial Russian. Please feel free to comment on my pronunciation: Lesson 16 on SoundCloud. Concerning Gaelic, I repeated a few units and then concentrated on unit 6. I listened to the dialogue and read it through. There is some unknown vocabulary, but not much. The grammar is quite easy, as it deals with the future tense of "bi", expressing possession with "aig", and the prepositional pronouns of "air". The thing that irritates me most about Gaelic is the different way of phrasing thoughts. Although the Celtic languages belong to the Indo-European family, they seem to be quite unique as far as grammar and syntax are concerned. I even did some Icelandic, as I reread some chapters from Hrafnkels Saga. I think I'll get back to it, as I started translating it but never really finished. Maybe I'll just read it with the help of the glossary instead of really translating every sentence, because that would be a bit time-consuming. I'm glad to see that my Icelandic can be actually be used, because I never really worked that hard on it. However, my plan to increase my active skills stands. As soon as I have the time, I will do some excercises in Langenscheidts Praktisches Lehrbuch Isländisch and probably post them here. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

But doesn't it make them attractive? Instead of saying I'm sad to say "Sadness is on me" and so on? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes, of course. It's very interesting, but it needs some time getting used to. At this point, it just doesn't feel natural yet to think this way. I still have to internalize those concepts and ways of expression. Let alone the fact that there is something like the "relative future" of the verb...
