Update
Have slacked off a bit, but still making sure to try to get at least a Pimsleur lesson in. I am up to Unit 7 of Pimsluer (so I've listened to 5 Units since the last update). I have not moved on with Michel Thomas. I have to make sure to get back to that.
I've also started reading Der Kleine Prinz (The Little Prince). I also have the English version so I use it like a dual-language book. I compare the grammar of the sentences, word usage, etc. What I do is read the same several pages over and over again. That way not only do I see words used in context, I also get the repetition. So far I've done this twice with the first 8 pages. I'll do it 2 or 3 more times, and then any words I am still having trouble with, I'll start using a vocab program to drill them.
It takes about an hour to get through those 8 pages since I am reading it out loud, but also I am studying and repeating the sentences. I usually read each sentence at least twice, and work out what it means in English. Unless I just instantly understand the sentence and move on, which happened a bit more often the second time I read it.
