That's definitely the key... enjoy what you are doing. If you get lucky and enjoy using the good courses you will progress really fast. I just get satisfaction out of progress and it makes the Spanish journey really enjoyable.

The one thing I would add is that it gets much better. I grew tired of the courses (sadly, I have never finished FSI-the greatest course of all IMO). However, as you start to move away from the courses and are able to work more with native materials the level of enjoyment is much MUCH higher. Having said all that, I did not lose steam with Assimil until late in the active phase. If I were starting another language I think I would incorporate Assimil into it if it were available and FSI as well. Keep at it and I enjoy the log. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Internet problems last weekend and into this week kept me from updating my log!
Kind of a mini mile stone last week, I finished pimselur II. Everything is still going strong, I feel like I am getting better and better with the past tense. Its funny that I am just now "learning about the past tense" but I have been using it for a long time now in the pimselur tapes and never even knew it. My weekly italki lessons have been going great. I wish I had more time to take a lesson or two during the week, I really enjoy the lessons. I am starting to get more and more homework, which I really like. My reading has been doing well also, I am reading from Assimil everyday and also I have been reading my Geo Florida book which is a always a nice change of pace. However I do think I am losing a bit of steam working out of grammar workbook, only one lesson completed last week. I really need to keep doing one lesson a day and keeping it a habit. With the internet out last weekend it kind of put a hinder on my Star Wars watching. But I will continue this week. I only have 3 more episodes to finish season 1. I did find something pretty interesting on Spotify (a music app), when you listen to a song you can hit lyrics and it will give a full list of the lyrics and highlight the words that are being sand. I thought this was very neat. Also, I think I may listen to the MT foundations tapes again during car rides, more of passive listening. Always after my pimselur tape though. Progress Pimseleur 3- Tape 2 Gramatica De Uso - Lesson 25 Star Wars Clone Wars- 3 more EPs till the end of season 1 Assimil Lesson 29 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Whatever you choose, the important thing is to stick with it. There are lots of opportunities to train your ear to
a variety of different Spanish speakers--Miami is 'the oasis'. Enjoy--and keep us posted. (I am going to resume watching Destinos. Been ages and I quit but this time I will stick with it...) :0) 1 person has voted this message useful |
