Update:
I felt it necessary to change my log name to reflect my new 'membership' on Team Oranje. French: French is slow going at the moment. I'm only managing one hour a day most days of coursework (+ extra audio commuting)... frustrating as i'm trying to finish Hugo French in 3 Months once and for all. I'm nearly there (i'm in the last reading exercise). Despite having used this course before the reading exercises are almost like i've not come across them before. Once completed this will mean i've done all the exercises, added all words to my flashcard deck that weren't previously in there, can translate all exercises and conversations in both directions and have entered all grammar points into my flashcards too. I will be glad to see the end of it, partic. since the final reading exercises are slowing me down majorly, but nearly there! I'm attempting to reduce the number of resources i'm using as progress has slowed and is likely to continue that way in the coming months and I need to still move fwd (thus less resources i'm not spread so thinly). Next stop finish of FSI Mastering French level 1 (after Hugo3m). I am managing btw to watch the French news around every 2nd morning while munching on breakfast. Dutch: In 26 days i've entered over a thousand flashcards (and feel I know all these words after a revisit and some memory tests), have made my way half way through Dutch VocabuLearn Level 1 and am in Week 7 of Hugo Dutch in 3 Months. I have completed all this work before in Dutch, years ago now, so I should be covering ground at this speed. I'm also entering all previously unentered words into my Dutch flashcard deck. I'm guessing my progress will slow a bit. It's nice to be back learning Dutch, but unfortunate I don't feel i'm like progressing well in French at the moment, but i'm certain that provided i can soldier on through the coming months that B2 will be attainable in November if i can continue to progress through materials and add some more diverse resources again.

Hi Peter. Congratulations on passing your B1 this month! That is a great accomplishment. I only imagine how nice that must feel. :) I hope to get mine later this year. We will see.
I noticed that you are doing FSI Mastering French. Is that the same as FSI Basic? I downloaded all the audio and PDF files from here and printed out the first 12 levels. So far the audio is okay. I'm half way through the first unit. I really like FSI, and I know its good for me since I tend to need to grind things into my head to really learn them.

Thanks for the congrats Ron :) I would say you are certainly going to pass the B1 French exam so long as you stay on track. So keep up the good work! Thanks heaps for that link too. That's incredibly useful. I had read about the FSI free online courses and tried a couple of links that didn't work for me. So with your link I have discovered with a few random checks that my book entitled 'Mastering French Level 1' is the same as the online material. Level 1 contains units one to six, so I assume my Level 2 book has units seven to twelve (I'm not at home so I can't check as I haven't used my 'Level 2' yet, but that would seem logical). I had no idea there was a 'Volume 2' (units 13-24), so you've just doubled my FSI French resources, woohoo! drats, that's a LOT more study material to get through ;) oh and myself, I'm currently in unit 5 Le climat 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hey PM, congrats on passing your B1, congrats on finishing Hugo, and congrats on finding the FSI volume 2. I'm currently working on FSI unit 7 when I go for walks (it's a long unit, with 11 tapes). I think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, especially since it's free! I have the full Hugo set (3 months + advanced), but between finishing Assimil NFWE and working on FSI, I don't really have the time for it. Maybe once I've finished Assimil..... (dreamy smile forms on my visage).
Have you got Hugo Advanced French? Or is that just one course too many? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Thanks Hekje, not that huge really tho since i'd already done the course, mind you a lot of hit had faded from my mind, but a lot hadn't. Still i'm pleased i now know every single bit of it back to front and inside and out. As for Dutch 1283 flashcards and counting. :) Thanks again Hekje 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Me being the course collector I most certainly do have Hugo Advanced French and will do it some day, but like yourself for now I have other courses to work through. I'm currently in Unit 5 of FSI and need to get back to Assimil NFWE as well since i've hardly touched it for a month. Oh and tnx for the congrats on B1. It's a stepping stone but i'm happy to pass it nonetheless. I'm not that impressed with FSI in terms of entertainment value but it is a very worthwhile course in terms of what you can accomplish with it. Assimil is much more fun in my opinion, as is FIA. Anyway keep up the studying Jeffers, great work! 1 person has voted this message useful |
