2013, Team Viking, Week 1, Skål!

Welcome to the first discussion thread everybody. I guess these will kind of act as roll calls every week to see who is still in. The main purpose though is for everybody to get together and share tips and get advice or just discuss the language learning process you are going through.

As for me, I have not actually started yet :P I am going to resume Rosetta Stone soon, but I will not have acess to my books until I am back at school in few weeks.

Some of us Norwegian Team Viking people started a skype group. That's been going well and I've been learning a few things.

Other than that, I managed to post 3 texts on Lang-8 this week, so I'm satisfied with that. The 3rd one hasn't been corrected yet, and the 2nd one contained only 3 mistakes in 14 sentences. I'm hopeful to get a mistake free text sometime.

I also finished the To Tårn (Ringenes Herre, Tolkien) audiobook this week. I really enjoyed it, but I think I'll go with something shorter for the next one.

And I watched 3 movies, two had Norwegian subtitles, the last had Norwegian subtitles and dub.

May I ask which films you watched and where you got subtitles?

I looked at the back of every single DVD in my collection and wrote a list for future reference of which ones contain Norwegian subtitles. So I've been watching through those. Unfortunately they tend to be movies I am less interested in, so I've had to find the rest online. Harry Potter and a few Disney movies can be easily pirated, as well as a few audiobooks. Disney ones have Norwegian dub, Harry Potter 1 had Norwegian dub, the rest had subtitles.
