Thank you so much for thoroughly giving links for all of your resources.
That post is one I foresee myself returning to a lot.

I am really interested in hunting down the Business French (I have yet to try any Assimil courses)
I am around a B2 and have been looking for a course or workbook that would be appropriate.

Also I am interested in taking a look at the FSI phonoloy as I'm definitely lacking a systematic understanding of pronunciation/spelling.

I feel like this needs to get stickied somehow!

Any interest in being captain of the French team?

Hey Luke,

Congrats on a really thorough year. In the 2nd French team you've been one of a handful
of us who has been very consistent all year round. You're also the one i'd say who's
closest in study mannerisms to mine. I'm not sure that's such a good thing, but I feel an
affinity with your approach as like you I like to use a lot of courses. I hope 2015 is
just as good for you. I'm sure you're noticing how far you've come. Good work!

PM

Thanks Peter, I enjoy reading about your progress as welll. I still remember your twenty minute or so
experience talking with an older French couple. I may not be clear on the details, but the feeling of
accomplishment was impossible to miss. Also, you've sat and passed a CEFR test, which is really awesome.

I also notice similarities in our approaches. We are the tortoises in this race of hares. Well, at least I am.

That's dealer's choice. You get to decide. It means read the book out loud and say it like you really mean it,
or are telling a story.

I've been thinking these "micro-challenges" could be lined up. E.G. watch cartoons for a day or an hour, then
if you feel like switching, just note where you left off. Besides reducing boredom, this also allows for rotation
in approach. Say I include transcribing NFWE in the list. Cycling through several activities,
watching/listening, reading/speaking, listening/transcribing, over time, seems like it would sink deeper into the
memory banks than a single marathon run at one thing. It also allows more flexibility to "change things up".
