The Multiple Language Experiment - Summer 2014

A while back I wrote about picking up some of my old languages.  I have given this some thought and have decided to do a little language project as I finally have the time to do so. I spend a total of 80 minutes on a train each working day, so why not spend the time efficiently.

3 languages. 5 days a week. 5 weeks for each language. 15 weeks.



The languages are Slovak, Polish and Russian. And this is how I'm going to do it:


  • Day 1: Read from a book or other text
  • Day 2: Read an article on current affairs
  • Day 3: Translate the article into English
  • Day 4: Translate a poem into English
  • Day 5: Write a short story
I will be starting with Slovak because it is the weakest of the three languages. The goal is to be able to produce something in the language, a written text.  We will see how it goes.
