Now that it is so close, if I don't make it to round 2, I'm kinda like...I would have liked to have kept the "maybe I'll win!" attitude for a little longer.

On one hand I want to know if I made it through the first round, on the other... let me live in my fantasy longer! I think the craziest part is that this is ONLY round one! Not even final decisions. That's going to be a mess eek AnnMarie and thepictureisstill 2
lizie.johnson Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Just wanted to let everyone know that my FPA just reached out to tell us that Fulbright results will be emailed to us tomorrow directly from the Embark/Fulbright program. So I guess I can stop obsessively checking my email for the day? describeblue, sat0ri, theanine and 2 others 5

Now that I know it is tomorrow, I'm planning on leaving mine at home while I go to work.

UWI17 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Hey All! For those of you that have applied to countries that have less commonly taught languages (for example I applied to the Slovak Republic but hope to learn Romani as well) what are your plans for language acquisition? I have been doing a bit of work online but its nothing compared to learning in a person to person environment.

I have been doing a bit of work online but its nothing compared to learning in a person to person environment. I am applying to the Czech Republic, haven't really started aside from a couple basic vocabulary apps to get a feel for pronunciation mostly. If I make it through this first round, I'm planning to purchase more detailed resources to self-study and go for what's free online. If I am selected in like March-June, then I'll likely invest in private tutoring. That's my plan anyway. I have no delusions of being fluent by the time I would go, but if I can at least have a good grasp on some basics, I'd feel good I think. Horb 1

Dostoprimechatel'nosti Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Best of luck from another current Fulbright! I have been in your shoes twice before, so I will be thinking about all of you today! 11 hours ago, UWI17 said: Hey All! For those of you that have applied to countries that have less commonly taught languages (for example I applied to the Slovak Republic but hope to learn Romani as well) what are your plans for language acquisition? I have been doing a bit of work online but its nothing compared to learning in a person to person environment. I wanted to respond to this comment because I was learning Romanian to prepare for my Fulbright grant to Moldova, which is not commonly taught and the summer programs that were available in the U.S. were super expensive. I ended up traveling to Romania for a summer language study program and it was incredibly inexpensive and a very valuable experience. I realize that this is not a viable option for everyone, so I think using online tools and private tutors are great resources until you are in country. You could also try to find language partners to give you lessons online on sites like mylanguageexchange.com. That being said, taking the time to focus on language study during the first month or two of your Fulbright is completely possible even though it may seem too time consuming when you are planning how you will best utilize your grant months. By the way, I think that your goal to learn Romani is absolutely wonderful and I am sure that it will result in some amazing experiences!
Photogeographic Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 Gah. I most likely not going to be around to post on here when the announcements come out today. I just want to say you all are the best and this forum has always made my Fulbright experience so much more enjoyable. <3 Good luck! Horb, AnnMarie, lizie.johnson and 1 other 4

I really like the boots/shoes in your profile picture.
