English Practices

As a native Turkish speaker, I started to read Paul Auster's the New York trilogy. I'm using a voice recorder while I was reading. From sentence to sentence I am recording my voice to my voice recorder to compare it with the native speakers audio. By doing so, I hope I can correct my pronunciation mistakes.

German Practices

And also I am learning and refreshing my memory in German language. When I was in high school I learned German, because we had a German lessons. After 19 years I start the again to my German practices.

Using Anki flashcard application with sentence decks and vocabulary decks. At the same time I am practicing on LingQ German. And I bought dealing with books in German language ( German and Turkish ). I started my practices 79 days ago and now I can easily understand intermediate level voice records and the texts. I am not checking any of Grammar rules in German. Just trying to understand translating full sentence and using echo shadowing technique.

In Anki application I am using four different colors in my flashcards. Feminine articles are pink, masculine articles are blue, non-gender articles are green, plural forms are yellow. I'm adding photos if available. And using in text to speech features of Anki.

Russian

A 2014 I was living in Russia. I stayed there one and half year. I have already B1 level Russian. To keep it fresh sometimes I watch YouTube videos such as уральские пельмени, Comedy Club. And using echo shadowing method. When I was watching I am also recording the interesting parts to my voice recorder.
