Motiváció

It appears that I have hit a wall. While I do my Memrise practicing a few times a day, I haven't really learned anything new. My library Colloquial Hungarian book sits in my bag and is due back tomorrow. I know it's there, I see it throughout the day but just don't take it out.

Nine weeks from today I will arrive in Budapest again. This should be motivation enough I just haven't pushed like I was. I ordered my own copy of Colloquial Hungarian and it is supposed to arrive today. I am hoping that will jump start me.

At lunch I am going to review these sites. Olly Richards: I Will Teach You a LanguageKevin Morehouse: Language Hero and Alex Rawlings: Rawlangs (who just happens to be in Budapest now). After this I am sure I will pick up some Motiváció.

Sziasztok!

On Pinterest

I've been using Pinterest for a few years now, actually since the days of having to be invited. I've been pinning things like cabins, gardening ideas, helpful hints and travel destinations. It wasn't until this morning when Kevin Morehouse from Language Hero tweeted about Lindsay Does Languages using Pinterest for her language learning did the light go on for me.

learn this - Hungarian is my newest board. I've put a few pins in there already and I have a feeling it will fill up faster than my other boards. As Lindsay mentions, as you pin something Pinterest will suggest other items. So far it has brought up other Hungarian pins, which I have pinned to my this is - Hungarian board, but from those pins I am hoping to stumble across other language related pins.

So, off to learn and pin.

Sziasztok!
