Day 48
27 minutes of Arabic TV 75 minutes of FLR 7 minutes of Anki Total cards in Anki deck: 337 Hours Studied Today: 1.82 Total Hours: 46.76 I am back on track with my FLR weekly timeline. I got through all of my second chapter for the week, so I can devote today and tomorrow to the third chapter of the week. I am really enjoying the repetitive audio and also applying the same concept to my vocabulary (I am only adding one chapter worth of vocabulary a week). I think this is resulting in a stronger knowledge of the words because I do not have hundreds of words competing for new space in my brain all at once. @Magictom123 so far I like FLR, the pace is good for me. I always struggled in classes because they tend to move to slow for me, whereas this covers quite a bit in a good amount of time for me. This soon into it I cannot really tell you how much I am retaining, but I feel as though things really cement in during the writing I do at the end of the week and through the listening throughout the week. I have not seen the Croatian gentleman, but I have watched a bunch of Moses' videos. I must admit that I do not strictly adhere to the plan, namely in that I do not do the keywords which are his first step. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Day 49
7.50 minutes of FLR 8.80 minutes of Anki Total cards in Anki deck: 337 Hours Studied Today: 0.27 Total Hours: 47.03 Weekly Average: 1.11 Total Average: 0.96 Today was a recovery day for me. What I mean by this is that since I work overnights, the first day that I do not have to work I generally use to sleep, a lot. I also take advantage of these days to spend some time with my girlfriend, since we do not do much during the week due to our contrasting work schedules. Still, some time is better than no time. Tomorrow I plan to get through the final chapter of the week for my FLR. I am also pleased to see that my weekly average this week was over an hour a day. My goal for the next week is to get my weekly average over 1.25 hours. Edited by JPike1028 on 25 February 2011 at 12:56pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Day 50
40 minutes of Arabic TV 5.20 minutes of Anki Total cards in Anki deck: 337 Hours Studied Today: 0.75 Total Hours: 47.78 Did more than yesterday, but still did not get as much done as I would have liked. Luckily, I go back to work tomorrow night so I can get my last chapter for the week done tomorrow and then do my writing exercise. I also finally found an Al-Jazeera feed that does not skip today, so that was happy. Edited by JPike1028 on 25 February 2011 at 12:56pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Day 51
2.60 minutes of Anki 20.50 minutes of FLR Total cards in Anki deck: 337 Hours Studied Today: 0.39 Total Hours: 48.17 Had a group of rowdy Canadian youth hockey players at the hotel last night, so I didn't get a whole lot of work done. I still need to finish my final chapter from last week and then start this week's work tonight. Edited by JPike1028 on 25 February 2011 at 12:57pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Day 52
54 minutes of FLR 11.30 minutes of Anki Total cards in Anki deck: 337 Hours Studied Today: 1.09 Total Hours: 49.26 I finished my final chapter from last week today, finally. I need to go to sleep at this point, since I had to stay an extra hour at work and I haven't slept in about 20 hours. Upon waking, I am going to input my new chapter's vocabulary and phrases into Anki. Then my other goals included getting at least a half hour of listening, a half hour of Arabic TV and get through the first chapter of the week. If I can actually do all this, it should amount to about two hours of study or more. I want to adjust my studying so that I do the listening, watching and Anki work at home so that I only have to do the book work at work. I think that this will result in a better use of my time and I will be less likely to fall asleep watching Al-Jazeera. I would really like to be able to fully understand their coverage of all the current events and happenings in the Middle East currently.

23 minutes of Arabic TV 71.20 minutes of FLR 7 minutes of Anki Total cards in Anki deck: 374 Hours Studied Today: 1.69 Total Hours: 53.95 I am picking out more and more during Al-Jazeera and am enjoying the progress I have been making as of late.

Day 55
30 minutes of Arabic Tv 67.40 minutes of FLR 4.80 minutes of Anki Total cards in Anki deck: 374 Hours Studied Today: 1.70 Total Hours: 55.65 I am finally back in the "green"! By this I mean back over one hour a day on average. I have noticed that per every three chapters there is always one that is forever and a day long. My plan is to try to finish the second chapter and make good headway on the third chapter for the week tomorrow. My semi-long term goal is to get my average studied time up to one and a half hours since I am over the 1:1 ratio. I feel as though I am learning a lot now, I just do not know how much of it is going to stick. I unfortunately do not have a lot of opportunities to practice Arabic with actual native speakers. The two people I know who are from Egypt tend to be surprised when I talk to them but will not speak back to me in Arabic. 1 person has voted this message useful |
