Learning Language

I broke down and got a router. Yes freedom is a wonderful thing.
I enjoy working with the language software, although I must admit I haven't spent every day working with it. I usually go for several hours about every third day. My other classes seem so overwhelming to keep up with that there is little brain power left over. I especially enjoy putting my many flash cards up, gives me a chance to review, categorize words, and working on spelling. I have not gotten into the voice recording features yet. My fear of speaking....
The Wimba experience was interesting. Hard to follow, I will watch it again. It is easy to get distracted working at home.
I have been thinking about my speech and look forward to putting effort into it after the break.
I enjoy the under lying humor of the Deer (Dragon) Hunter. Despite a lot of repeating of sentences and vocabulary, very little of it actually sticks. Seems to stick when I can find relevance to use the words or phrase in daily life. I do believe my ear is improving.

    I knew it was only a matter of time till you got that router :) I actually think its great you use it with some infrequency :) I was hooked when I first got one but cut way way back :) I am happy the Deer Hunter humor also made its way through :) It was an interesting cast and their personalities were really reflected in that presentation :)
