It's surprising how much logging you have to do when you have to remember what track number you're on on 3 different programs. As you can see, I'm using Pimsleur as my main program, with a couple of other supplementary materials, but I don't have enough free time to use all four resources every day so the others are a bit sporadic.

ATM, I don't have any plans beyond the end of these courses, but I may enrol at the Goethe Institut if they get a course at a time that suits me (it's very cheap here). I also have the luxury of a flatmate who speaks intermediate level German and lived there for a year, but she's currently on holiday for a month, so I'll have to wait on that front. I'm also just about ready to tackle my first book: Nora, Zurich an A1 level graded reader complete with audio.

I'd say I'm reasonably fluent with shorter sentences, but I think I should probably start doing a bit more work outside of the courses on talking about myself, because there's a lot of basic stuff I don't know how to say. I'm also pretty keen on getting some speaking opportunities in. I might try and poach one of the Goethe Institut students as a conversation partner.
