“Too hard, too slow” I thought so I’ve been avoiding Transcribe till today. It certainly is much harder but so satisfying when your first attempt pings green and is accepted! Will definitely slow down a bit and do this more often.
Wow well done Floria7! I can’t imagine being advanced enough to do this
Never say never Station2Station, you’d be surprised how much you know. Main thing is to enjoy the challenge, oh and read a lot. The latter is a huge part of my personal learning, can’t recommend it enough. “Read and Think Italian” (by McGraw Hill) is an excellent inexpensive book + Cd.
Have you read any of Olly Richards short stories? they are excellent. Grab a few
Get jumbo index cards to keep score of the answers at the end of each chapter when you quiz.
Hi Scott. Haven’t read any Olly yet but will certainly keep him in mind after I’ve finished my current books. Mille grazie for the recommendation.
Hey Scott, I’m reading “La creatura” the second short story in Olly Richards Short Stories In Italian volume 1. His stories are good, and quite funny
Thanks for prompting me to try this mode - you are right that it is slow and harder but at the same time very satisfying when you get it. I think it should get 4x points though!
Ehilà @paris2020, that would indeed be nice. If I have a stack of reviews pop up, I resort to Easy mode for a few and then go back to Hard. I love using Radio too (now running perfectly), anything to improve my listening.
