» Tina_Coruth - Good advice!
Hi Anne,I like the way you have broken down the self assessment into categories and ratings. As you said, it is so easy to forget progress made when stuck at a particular level for a while. This makes it easier to see where the strengths and weakness are and to see what progress has been made. Thank you for the good advice and tips!!

In response to message posted by Tina_Coruth:Thanks Tina - always great to hear from you. I do my own self-assessment quite regularly still because I find it can help push me up a notch if I just focus on one small thing I find difficult. Not sure how Irish works though I have tried and failed to talk Gaelic several times. I find it so difficult, as did my mother who spoke it well but always claimed to be making too many mistakes!

In response to message posted by anniediw:Hi Anne,
Irish is very hard for me. It is so different from what I am used to. In high school, I took French and in college, I took Spanish. I never mastered them, but I remember some(It was very, very long ago!). Similiar rules of grammar and construction certainly helped. With Irish, part of my difficulty is to keep in mind that these rules do not apply! LOL I admire your mother for being able to master Gaelic!
I have to agree with Jazzbo. Written Portugese reminds me of Spanish. I was very surprised to learn how different the pronunciation is!!! I'm glad there is a very nice Portugese editor here at Suite101 to help us out!

In response to message posted by jazzbo:Dear Jazzbo, really looking forward to finding out how your nightclasses are going. I had the same problem but the other way round. My Spanish has lots of "Portuguesed" endings. One very kind Spanish profesor suggested I should do all my studying in Galicia because the language there, gallego, is a mixture of Portuguese and Spanish. Have fun. I'm sure you will.
