Language / Pimsleur v Rosetta stone [27]

I have worked myself halfway through level one of Rosetta Stone.
Although timeconsuming and sometimes boring, it has given me quite some knowledge.Grammar is almost zero at the level where I am at now, but vocabulary starts to grow.

What I missed the most though was the conversation part. Repeating some words, as Rosetta offers it, is not really my thing.

But there Pimsleur comes into the game. I have done one lesson, and woooow... I love it. because I could not really speak yet, after one half of level 1 of Rosetta. Pimsleur really forces you into building sentences, which is what you need to hold a conversation, after all.

I think, mixing a couple of systems works the best.

I am considering purchasing the "301 verbs "book. Any one had good results with that book?

Language / Is rosetta stone any good for learning Polish? [51]

Rosetta Stone course... any one with experience?

Hi,

I am actually learning Polish with Rosetta Stone.
I found it very interesting and I make good progress.
That is in my passive knowledge.

Am I impatient as where speaking is concerned or is their system aimed at getting your passive knowledge on a top level before getting you to speak?

Any input would be appreciated.

Gaston,

I need some encouragement on it. Right now I have the impression i can understand what the text and images say, but that seems about all.

After completing the whole course, would you have some tips? Will my speech improve (I do repeat all teh sentences and am pretty good at pronounciation.

Oh well, what the heck.. I just need a push in the back from someone...
When i listen to my friend speaking Polish it seems I only understand kurva...lol

thnx

Oh so true Lir. Bull's eye.

One of my former lovers, who happened to be 12 years younger , and in perfect health , died of a heart attack at age 32.....
I had to learn the hard way that life never holds any guarantees.. and love does'nt come with a "not happy money back" receipt.

carpe diem... I strongly believe that many people "plan" to live their life to the fullest extend, but remain in the "planning stage" all their lives.

If I live my life and love with S, in honesty, caring and with love...and he does it in return, it is a gift that I and him will forever cherish. It will make us a better person in life...

And even if I go long before he does, which I previously was shown in life to be far from certain, we both will have shared a true love and a caring, forfilling relation .

I can see S is growing , becoming wiser, riper, more stable... and in return he makes me smile when I ***** in rushhour, telling me : "honey, relax, it is only a traffic jam"... "and I want you to stay alive"...if that isn't a proof of love.

"yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift...."

o... well.. I happen to be the older one , and right now my boyfriend tells me I am wearing him out ( he is 22). But then, I have always been very active in snowboarding and windsurfing ....

And my father, at 85, still looks 15 years younger and is very active ....
Let' see... untill the day comes I will enjoy what I can do ....

And then there still will be the tenderness on my side ...

AnnieRose,

Correct and indeed, that is another prejudice that needs to be kicked out of this world.

I know that being older and thus presumably more experienced can be beneficiary to the younger partner on many levels.
One of them is sex of course.
An older partner doesn't want to (and mostly can't..lol) impress his/her younger lover with endurance or looks , but the techniques and experience can give him or her extreme pleasure. Yes, at my age we do know where both female and male g-spots are to be found and we use that knowledge.

I myself never knew about these things when I was young.

So, before anyone disapproves try to take a look at it from another angle and it may widen your horizon.

I am more settled, not in pursuit of a carreer anymore, not looking to conquer the world and able to see things more in perspective. I consider myself well balanced, trustable and self-confident

My lover is young and full of dreams and ideas, eager to learn and being able to go for it.Being in an warm, stable relation it enables him to use my experience and his energy and enthusiasm to the fullest extend.

And thus , this relationship is clearly a win/win situation... should you want to look at it this way.

We just happened to fall in love with each other as two human beings... and as long as we both are happy with it, I don't care about looks and prejudices. Don't we all want to and have the right to be happy?

My misiu... kocham cię

My Polish boyfriend and I are 31 years apart.
Believe me. it works out great.
Relations are about two energies and two entities that are attracted.
And we are also contemplating marriage, as that is legal here in Belgium.

And yes, I have to fight against predjudices.... but so what, I am used to that, being gay.

The main thing is : we are having fun and the sex is great.... and tomorrow is a mistery..

Unless you have known people in a relation of our kind, or you have been part of it, it is indeed hard to imagine that it can work out. But it does. He finds stability, and I find him stimulating in changing.

I am learning Polish and he is learning Dutch.

My misiu, ik zie je graag ...
