    Remembering Vocabulary One of the hardest parts of learning a language is remembering all of the words...especially when you don't use them everyday. I have two techniques to help me. One is to use the program ANKI. (ankisrs.net). It uses advanced computer algorithms to know when you should review words to help you remember better. And the other is a little notebook with phrases and words I find useful or want to remember, grouped by theme or conversation. It's only useful at first. Because when you know a language well, it's harder to fit all of the words into one notebook. What about you? What do you do to remember vocabulary?

    Hi Pelin, I just saw this. Do you mean to say? I bought it for a higher price (it's expensive). Or do you mean something else?

    Favorite TV series I'm curious what English-learners like from American TV. What is your favorite TV series? Which one is the hardest to understand?

    Here in Paris it is cloudy. No rain yet. But not great weather. :(

     

    I know what it feels like when the sun comes out finally :)

    On the phone you say, "please hold". That's very polite. If you say "hold on" or "hang on" on the phone, that would be very casual...you're probably good friends with that person (or maybe just rude).

    Starting Off With Turkish Turkish friends -- hello! Selam! I recently had a wonderful trip to Istanbul. I'm back in Paris now, where I live, but I'm thinking about moving there. Does anyone have recommendations for good Turkish music, movies, books, etc...but for a beginner?
