This week I decided to start learning Russian and Breton again. I’ve learnt bits and pieces of them before but haven’t managed to get back into the habit of studying any language regularly for quite a while. I keep on making plans, and then due to inertia, laziness and procrastination don’t implement them.<\/p>\n
So I will spend each morning listening to online Russian radio (\u0413\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0441 \u0420\u043e\u0441\u0441\u0438\u0438<\/a>) and then going though a lesson, or at least part of a lesson, in my Russian textbook just before lunch – I’m using Oxford Take Off in Russian<\/em><\/a>. I might also use a number of online courses. Once I’ve learnt enough to have a basic conversation, I’ll seek out Russian speakers to practise with.<\/p>\n I plan to spend each afternoon or evening listening to online Breton radio (Radio Breizh) and then going through a lesson or two in Le Breton Sans Peine<\/em><\/a>, and possibly also in Colloquial Breton<\/em><\/a>. Using Le Breton Sans Peine<\/em> gives me the chance to improve my French at the same time. I know a few Breton speakers I could practise with, and would like to visit Brittany once I have a basic conversational knowledge of Breton.<\/p>\n I might write bits and pieces in Russian and Breton on my multilingual blog<\/a> – I’ve already started adding Breton to les mots de la semaine<\/em>, some fo the words and phrases that crop up at the French conversation group I go to – and maybe I’ll make some videos<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This week I decided to start learning Russian and Breton again.
