rainwaterspark By a stroke of luck I found a copy of the Assimil German book that someone had uploaded online. According to Amazon, one guy was fully conversational by the time he finished the Assimil, and that story makes me curious enough to want to try it myself. Besides, the lessons are very bite-sized (supposed to take up only 20 minutes a day). The downside for me, of course, is that I don't have any of the audio material, and I could only find the French-German Assimil, but I think my French is good enough.
(Side note: I also managed to find a bunch of Colloquial and Teach Yourself language books on Scribd as well. Talk about the wonder of internet...)
I've been talking a lot more online recently, on forums and on all the blogs I own, because (I think) I haven't found anyone yet on campus with the same interests as me, so my desire to talk about what I like, which is normally quenched by talking to my family when I'm at home, keeps smoldering inside me instead, and I have to get it out somehow. I'm trying to be a little more organized, though, so college-related stuff should go on Rain Symphony, writing should go to my other LJ, and languages/video games/whatever else comes into my head will go here. Hopefully.
