My 6 Tongues

Currently I use English everyday, it's my preferred language for reading, watching videos and so on. Anyway,  I try to improve my English just using it as much as I can. I have conversations with teachers twice a week in order to reduce my accent. I have also started some routines to keep learning French and German. My goal is to consolidate my B2 (French) and my B1 (German) before summer. French is a lot easier for me, I find that written French is very similar to Catalan. German is more challenging even though my English helps me sometimes while studying it. I think you have to follow some kind of system that covers the language as a whole (grammar, basic sentences and a good deal of vocabulary), for this purpose I like Assimil even though I have tried other methods. I try to keep in contact with the languages on a daily basis. This is my current routine.                               ...

Today I have read a fairly long text in German. I have used Google Translate to get some expressions translated into English (I also use it with French>English). This Google tool allows you to add the translated expressions (or words) to a phrasebook in order to study them later. To do this, simply touch the star image (smartphone or computer): On a computer, the phrasebook also lets you sort the saved words/expressions by language - a very useful feature if you are learning more than one language: Let me know if this tool is useful for you!

I've been studying German with " Assimil German " (B2) and now I want to continue with " Assimil Perfectionnement Allemand " (C1). The second one is in French, my French is more advanced than my German and I think using the French version of the book is an "extra bonus" to improve two languages at the same time. Even though, before beginning with " Assimil Perfectionnement Allemand " I want to improve my fluency in German. I've put aside my loved Assimil for a while, first I want to be focused only in the speaking part of the German language. For this goal I've selected " Language Hacking German ", the vocabulary and expressions in this book are beginner-oriented but it gives you smart strategies to improve your fluency. The book comes with audio resources you can use downloading the editor's  app ( Teach Yourself ). After " Language Hacking German " I will carry on with my loved Assimil. F...
