Hola, Hello!

Well, I’m still busy with everything, but I am studying Spanish a bit now. I don’t study Hebrew much anymore, but I plan to pick it back up. I’d like to be fluent in Spanish, French, Portuguese and Hebrew. And of course continue to be fluent in English. LOL! Plus, if I can master other languages, that would be great too. I’m pretty good in the ‘Internet/Web Design/Web Developer’ language like HTML and can make decent websites. That’s something I’m also studying. I’d like to master HTML, CSS, Paint Shop, Photo Shop and things like that. And become a great web designer/developer.

Well, that is all for now. Will post more soon, hopefully. Bye4Now.

Still Busy. Yes, Still!

I’m still busy, but I hope to write here more. Soon, soon hopefully! I also plan on studying different languages again. I’ve been watching some Spanish language TV and just picking up words here and there. And I want to get back to studying Hebrew too. Hopefully soon!

Hebrew/Ivrit Update March 2009

Well, I’ve been so busy this month with new jobs that I haven’t had much time to study Hebrew. I just got to study some a few days ago. It was fun! I did miss it. I hadn’t studied in about 2 or 3 weeks. I really need to make time for it. I love the language and would love to be fluent as soon as possible. So, I really need to make it a priority!! Well, that’s all for now! Shalom!

Hebrew-Ivrit Update February 2009

Well, just a quick update. I still mostly study LearnHebrewPod.com. I have been slacking a bit lately, because I’m working on my other website a lot and I have new jobs that I am studying for (their guidelines and rules).

But I can say some phrases in Hebrew:
Ani Lomeded Ivrit (I study Hebrew)
Ani Ohevet Glida (I love Ice Cream)

Okay, so it’s not great, but it’s a start. That Hebrew spelling is transliteration, not the real Hebrew alphabet (which I did learn a couple months ago).

I haven’t been studying with Transparent Language lately, but I plan to start with that again soon.

Well, that’s all for now, until next month…

Hebrew-Ivrit Update January 2009

Well, I have been studying Hebrew pretty much every day still.

But now I study mostly from the LearnHebrewPod.com podcasts and less from the Transparent Language Hebrew computer CD Roms.

I find that I like to listen to English/Hebrew conversations more and learn that way. Plus, LearnHebrewPod.com has transcripts of all of their conversations, so I can read and listen to everything.

Some language podcasts only have the audio and no print materials to go with it, so I really love that LearnHebrewPod.com has the printed materials and transcripts of all of their podcasts.

I still will study with Transparent Language, I just plan to use
LearnHebrewPod.com more often. I’d also like to buy the Rosetta Stone program in Hebrew and study with that too. As well and Pimsleur Hebrew CD, because I hear that’s a really great language course.

I think one of the most important things to learning a language and becoming as fluent as possible, is studying the language various ways and with various resources. But I guess that’s true with learning most anything.

So anyway, that’s my Hebrew update for January. I plan to do these monthly. So my February Hebrew update will be sometime late next month!

Shalom!

Just dropping by my blog to say Hello! Shalom! I’m still studying Hebrew and can now say a few short sentences! I only study 20 or so minutes a day, but now that I have a Zune player to store my files on I plan to study much more now. At least that’s the plan!

Shalom!

My Hebrew Lessons Continue

Wow, I haven’t written in a while! Well, I’m still studying Hebrew. I learned the Aleph-Bet and I can now read Hebrew fairly well. But I still don’t know what most of the words mean. LOL! However, I do know several Hebrew words now; I guess about a few hundred. So that’s good.

I still plan to start back up with French and Spanish. I’m not sure when though. Well, that is all for now. I plan to write more soon!

Now I’m Learning Hebrew

Ok, I’ve put Spanish and French on hold to learn Hebrew. I’ve been at it for about two weeks or so now. I can remember some words and phrases. It’s fun. I watch Big Brother Israel to help me with Hebrew. It has a 24 hour Live Feed of the Big Brother Housemates and they all speak Hebrew, so that helps.

I mostly study with the Learn Now! 101 Languages of the World from Transparent Language. And I also have a Hebrew / English phrasebook by Lonely Planet. Plus other resources. I’m going to get the Learn Hebrew Now! 10 from Transparent Language as soon as I can.

I might start up with Spanish while still doing Hebrew, but I’m not sure. I’m also tempted to learn Finnish, because I got the Big Brother Finland Live Feeds on a whim and it would be nice to know what they are saying. LOL! I study it a tiny bit, but ultimately I don’t think I’m going to go for Finnish right now. Maybe someday.

I’ve Started Learning Spanish Again

There are so many ways to learn different languages. One good way is watching DVDs of my favorite movies and choosing Spanish or French as the audio and/or subtitles.

Yesterday I watched part of Transformers and set the subtitles to Spanish and just read from there as I listened to the movie. And I learned a few words just from that. So, I’m going to keep that up and also learn from language software like Transparent Language: Learn NOW! 

I’ve started Spanish already, but I’ll be starting French soon as well.

Learning French and Spanish

I really need to start studying French and Spanish again. Last year I started studying both languages about 30 minutes each per day and I was really learning a lot. I can still remember a lot of the words and phrases I learned from last year.

I love culture and languages, and want to learn about many of them. So I really need to stop being so darn lazy and get with it.

Since I seem to have an easy time retaining some languages, once I’ve learned them – especially French - I should take that advantage and put it to good use.
