Thanks smallwhite, I really appreciate your reply. I understand you can't say from lack of experience with courses how it compares vs reading. I'll endeavour to improve my SRS (I found I was just lingering on cards far too long while studying them, and probably entering too much detail while entering them). Now while studying the cards I just answer, read one example sentence if I have multiple and move on (instead of trying to go through numerous example sentences word for word). I really wanted to incorporate spelling into my SRS system but my program is having major issues with the option unless I create a whole new deck which I actually decided in the end I don't want to do. I've mentioned it to the developper and he's hopefully going to work to resolve it. In the meantime I gave Anki a trial run last night and my first impression is I don't like it. So I'm back using my app Flashcards Deluxe which I actually find much more efficient than Anki- it's much quicker to enter cards- i'm only slow due to too much detail, but I haven't used Anki enough yet. Your speedier methods are in the back of my mind while I use my SRS deck smallwhite, and first take this morning I"m getting through cards MUCH quicker and I think I"m better off for it. Cheers again, here's to efficiency ;) (at least with SRS, perhaps not my courses) Thanks for dropping by and good luck with your language learning!

... I think i'm going to do exactly what I said I wasn't going to do and focus solely on
courses for a while (as well as SRS)... That's where my motivation currently is, it's probably stupid I know, but i'm going to do it :) Stay tuned for more idiotic developments and complete changes of study plans in the next few minutes ;) (ie completely ignore this post) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

A horse is a horse of course of course,
you see horses are even made of courses, for realz, science will soon discover that everything, a dog, a cat a plover, Danny Glover- are all composed of nothing but courses, Language courses of courses even sauces, condiments and flying saucers When it boils down to it, fundamentally, essentially are all courses Depending on the perspective tho, you just don't know Under an electron microscope whether it'll be A new kind of language program via audio CD or mp3, AAC? A textbook, online membership, streaming required or old school DVD I'll never leave my courses not even if any of them want divorces We had a ceremony and declared none will ever attempt to seek alimony For where would I get the cash to purchase more and add to my cupboard stash I want to complete them all and reach C2 Should take just about a decade, maybe a bit over two But don't dare talk to me in French for crying out loud I'm too busy doing courses in my office, i'm far too proud I"m sorry who are you to say my methods stink When I can recite slowly all these versions and associations of the word 'perturbation'... It's a disturbance meaning disruption to people or a service, upheavel, trouble, inconvenience, or mayhem, have you heard this? It's also a disturbance of the weather, interference with telecommuncations or radio Damn it I'm so good I really should be wearing a permanent halo Oh no, what a mess! You haven't got that word in your SRS! auréole, nimbe, clarification: a halo of a saint no no I'll beat this it won't get on top of me, remember there's also the halo used in astronomy those are both literal, don't forget the figurative, shit! Let's drop all this and just read for a bit... How many pages to catch the next person I'm better than this challenge let's enter the 6 week one It's more suited to me and I've got it easily won But if I study too much it's not my fault The leaderboard forced me to do it i'll show them, i'll bring it all to a halt ahhh and now i'm zen Balancing, perfectly liberated, like a chook in the wild out of it's pen But, but, who can learn more words more efficient than I, how? it should be me! Critizise them first, kindly ask for help, but make sure you use French radio and TV Why don't you come up with a better way to use your deck of cards and you need to exercise you're doing too much sitting get off your ass Studying studying and studying while ignoring the world It will give you credibility with the numbers you've demonstrated If you make sure you mention how many cards you've created Then get some advice on moving abroad but be sure not to take it Consider the options on moving to France then explain that there's no chance Peter Mollenburg have you lost your brain? have you forgot? You've got a pile of courses over there and you need to get through the lot! Monsieur le premier ministre je vous prie de voir que tu have sincrely utterly and complètement lost the plot! 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Thanks Jeffers :) I won't be adding any courses to current workload. These are the current courses i'm using : Assimil NFWE (lesson 102- very slow going, on hold for around a week) FIA lesson 14 (on hold for about a month or more- will pick up where left off once the less comprehensive courses in this list are out of the way) Rocket French Premium Plus (finished all CDs except bonus vocab CDs currently working on) Rocket French Platinum (still solidly working through it) Bien-dire Prononciation (very short and easy course but a lot of different vocab I want to add to my SRS which will take some time) TY Get Started in French (slowly working through, slow as adding words to SRS and too many other courses at same time) So no need to add any courses to replace Fluenz French 3 1 person has voted this message useful |
