Yeah, sometimes I'll completely forget some vocab, and I'll tend to go over those words more when I review the lesson in the future. Usually, though, this happens more when I haven't been as diligent in doing my weekly review (as in my edit above).

I've actually thought about using the "one group for each day" idea on a larger basis, e.g. within my French folder, having a "Sunday" folder and a "Monday" folder and so on, and in each folder putting a bunch of things that I go back to review once a week. Seems like it would be a nice way to organize things, anyway.

I always remember something awesome to add right after I hit "post reply." It's all great food for thought. Thanks!

Here's a blast from the not-too-distant past. This is what I wrote about Dutch when signing up for the Super
Challenge back in April 2012:
Today I checked out some sample exam materials from the Nederlands als Tweede Taal (NT2), which is and official Netherlands Dutch proficiency exam. They have two levels, which are supposed to equate to B1 and B2. I didn't take the time to do the whole thing, but I did a portion of the listening and reading tests for the B2 exam to get a feel for them. I got perfect scores on each, boom goes the dynamite. Unsurprisingly, I still have essentially zero active skills at the moment. I wonder if I would meet A1 at least. But this very encouraging result will certainly encourage me to find time to work on active skills--I have the Assimil Dutch course sitting at home as we speak, btw. Now if only I could find the time... Edited by geoffw on 11 January 2013 at 8:04pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Or you could download the audio. I could find that link somewhere for you, if you wish, that's how I got it. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

SUPER CHALLENGE UPDATE - Added Italian audio entries 17-21, French audio entry 30, French book
entry 16 and Dutch Audio entries 25-26 Basically just a whole bunch of random listening to report this time. After trying to put Dutch aside back in November or so, I've been bitten by the bug again and started listening to and reading random things all over the place, and I just downloaded the Dutch translation of Tolkien's Fellowship of the Ring from bol.com. I've successfully read the first book of the Harry Potter series in EN/DE/NL/FR (working on IT), and now it looks like I may soon do the same (minus IT for now) with LoTR (EN/DE done, FR over halfway, and NL just starting). As if that's not enough, I'm also 50+ pages into The Hobbit--in Yiddish. Tolkien seems to be a good step up for me from HP in terms of difficulty, while still being a bit easier than George R. R. Martin (which I've at least spent a good while with in each of DE/NL/FR so far--I've done a few pages in IT, but actually never read the books in EN, though I saw the first season of the HBO series). I see that my numbers for Italian audio are shooting through the roof already with these football matches. While I still think Italian is easily my worst TL right now by a long shot (as should be expected so far), I'm pretty pleased with the degree to which the commentary is starting to make sense. It seems to come easiest when I stop paying attention, for some reason, and then I discover that I've been understanding it accidentally. When I try to start concentrating, though, it often slips back into obscurity. I wonder if there's some sort of left-brain/right-brain magic at work there. BOOKS (Italian): 0. ... FILMS, ETC.
