My SRS has certainly sped up. I'm still entering as much detail (very slow) with
plenty of examples, but when I go into review/study mode I am going through the cards at lightening speed compared to what I was. This is simply because I"m not lingering on cards. I attempt the translation and if I get it right the next time the card pops up (new cards are viewed 5 times before becoming active with my settings) I simply translate the word again and ONE of the example sentences I've provided only. Each hour I"m studying 15min of SRS and 45min of course work. During the 3 hours of study today I essentially did 45 min of SRS. I got through 99 cards. That only works out to one card every 27.3 seconds... but... since i'm only doing new cards at the moment (5 reps before each card then becomes 'active'), this actually equates to 2700 seconds divided by (99 cards x 5 reps), which is 2700 divided by 495, which equals 5.45, ie one card per 5.45 seconds. Not bad really. This is how I'll continue from here on. When I get through my backlog of 'new' cards I'll should work my way through the active cards at a good pace. Hopefully it shows in my vocabularly 'access' if you will (ie feel for how activated my vocab is due to more exposure via SRS). As a side note, entering the FC's while doing my remaining 45min of coursework per hour is slow as mentioned due to clarifying and examples etc as well as sometimes entering phonetics, but i'm ok with that at the moment I've decided. Current course working on completion btw is Rocket French Premium Plus. I'm working my way through the final bonus CDs adding new words to my SRS which are themed- medical terms (not overly technical), Christmas, Business terminology, Romance.

Rocket French Premium Plus completed!
Mais je vais le revoir de temps en temps en conduisant ma voiture. In short a really good follow on audio course from the Pimsleur courses as it contains quite a lot of different vocab spoken at a faster pace in general than Pimsleur. The Bonus CDs aren't as good as the main content.

Congrats!
Why don't you resell or give away some of the 43 courses? 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

That's an extremely logical suggestion Serpent... I can't be bothered honestly. I feel like if I tried to sell a lot of them (there's no way I'd sell them all as many of them are still very useful courses) not many would sell, then I'd be left with a 35 or so and only sold a handful for more effort than it's worth. I do think that if I can make my way through half of them, the other half will be a walk in the park. It's like reading 43 books- if I read 20 the other 20 will become much easier and quicker. I have thought about selling the audio based courses like Pimsleur and Michel Thomas as they're completely intact even after finishing them (unlike books that have some wear)... but I just can't be bothered. I've spent so much time collecting them, reading reviews, ripping the CDs, categorizing the files on my hard drive and backing them up (all procrastination of course) that I'll just leave them be now- if in the end i come to my senses and only use a fraction of them, then so be it, I don't want to waste any more time than I have to on them, even if it seems logical like selling them.
