Erifnogard Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Where are you guys seeing this percentage? I don't see that percentage since I am beta course. Jay Ah, that explains it. I think the Swedish course is still Beta as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonator Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Where are you guys seeing this percentage? I don't see that percentage since I am beta course. Jay Ah, that explains it. I think the Swedish course is still Beta as well. My brother John was constantly going on about his fluency score, and I had no idea what he was talking about, until he mentioned that I was in a beta course (and I think Swedish is also). so, I don't really get hung up on it. I have no one to talk to until I go over and chat with my cousins. I'll worry about fluency when I find out how much English they use..LOL. I'm more concentrated on finishing the modules at this stage. Edited January 21, 2016 by Jasonator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvervane Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Indeed, I'm not overly concerned about the fluency score. But, DING! I'm level 10 now. I tend to review a lot. I do one lesson then review tje rest. I might change as I get further along, but at the moment I prefer to review. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I have kept everything full most of the time. I think the fluency percentage is a basic attempt at how much you have completed of the program. I think that might be similar to how communication works in general (the whole roughly: 100 words will give 50% communication ability, 2000 words will give 90-95% communication). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erifnogard Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Had my first instance of using the Swedish word instead of English this morning in a post. Didn't even notice till I happened to look back at the thread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonator Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Had my first instance of using the Swedish word instead of English this morning in a post. Didn't even notice till I happened to look back at the thread. Its only the first my friend ! Soon you will be saying things like "Snakker han flytende Svensk" ? Does he speak fluent swedish.. and you won't even notice you said it. When you answer a question "Ja" instead of yes... yeap, your almost there. Its all laughable, and in time you sort it all out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erifnogard Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Ok, timed practice is growing on me a little. I still do untimed for most of my practice but I like to tack a timed or two on the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffStray Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I had my first situation where someone made a statement at work, and I shot it back without thinking in Italian. It wasn't anything complicated, but it was reflex instead of effort, so that probably means something. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonator Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Congrats JeffStray. I bet that felt terrific ! I started doubling the amount of lessons I do as of yesterday. I started the FINAL large Segment (six lessons in this segment). The remaining segments are 4, 3, or 2 lessens in each). I am in the home stretch on the language tree. Deo Gratias ! Takk til Gud ! baruk atah El-, , or any way you want to say it...lol I should finish in the next fifteen days. Oh, this segment that is large, deals with BUSINESS !! Like investments, debts, loans, percents, returns, corporate boards, standing in line, and how about a sentence that reads "He is marrying her only to get a hold on her fortune".. Two down today, four more to go. Edited January 28, 2016 by Jasonator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talae Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 75 day streak! Even if a lot of that is just one practice lesson, and no new lesson, I am proud of that stat! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonator Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) 75 day streak! Even if a lot of that is just one practice lesson, and no new lesson, I am proud of that stat! Fantastic Tallae ! That's a great stat.. whoohoo. ! You are nailing this thing well. After a streak like that, you get fixated on keeping it alive, and it makes each lesson easier in one sense. Keep going, and soon the language tree will be accomplished ! I'm rooting for all of you guys to get a second language behind you. Mentally it is great for you, but secondly it is career enhancing.. you are bi-lingual. That means you are worth DOUBLE than what anyone else can do. (May sound silly, but believe me it isn't). I am now within 15 day's of my Norwegian tree completion. Gosh, I am a bit tired (since I am doubling the amount I do each day); But I want it to end in success. I have been doing this over 300 days.. (had a break in my streak). Edited January 30, 2016 by Jasonator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonator Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 On to the Norwegian tree count down ! It looks like I will give myself a valentines day certificate of completion that day ! Hard to imagine I have been doing this so long. I think I will assess learning another language before I start another ! I somehow feel chained to my coffee table with its seven yellow legal pads marked "Norwegian ONLY". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonator Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Jay Does the Snoopy Dance ! I've been doubling up going through the section on Business. (Finance, etc... is NOT my area). This morning I completed the sixth and final lesson on Finance. I then added up what is left.. I have 20 lessons until the tree is completed ! Believe me, If I can muddle my way through a language, you folks should have no problem. I am SO looking forward to being able to stop writing everything down in ten days; if I can pull it off. I must admit that now as I count down, it is exciting and a great sense of accomplishment is kicking in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
