Another weekend with language

Those scrolling down will find a mess of posts about Uzbek. If you go here, there's an organized post linking them into an Uzbek Mini-Course. This is a course for self-talk - finding things you can talk to yourself about to keep a new language circulating in your brain - not a traditional course. Take it as such. If you enjoy it (provided anyone is actually curious about Uzbek besides this girl who's way beyond me), that's great. If not, you don't have to read the whole thing. It's mainly there as an exercise in organizing my own notes from my latest efforts with the language.

In the mail, I just got PDQ Italian, with the hopes of refreshing and building on my limited skills with the language. I also have the Michel Thomas, but haven't gotten past disc 5 - always something else to work on. A little later, I'll be trying out the PDQ course and should toss up a note or two later. In the mean time, you can read about the best audio learning program available (Pimsleur) at Omniglot or see what Polyglottery has to say about Michel Thomas Italian and German. And the Aspiring Polyglot is posting more after her extended absence, including a link for a YouTube Georgian course!

Well, I have Michel Thomas Advanced German course and there's only one thing I don't like and it is the quality of sound and the way course is being taught. The course has been recorded alive, when Michel Thomas was teaching his students, so you may hear also voices of his students, which I also didn't like that much.
