Although it was only 7 weeks, I'm calling it a wrap. How did I do?
Goal: Finish FSI dialogues and illustrations for 47-55. Grade: C. I got through the material, but haven't memorized it. Goal: Daily mediation book. Grade: C. Basically did this every day, but didn't make any extra effort to memorize vocabulary, nor did I read it twice a day or anything like that. Goal: Follow 10 minute news program each day: Grade: B. Listened to a news program most days. Giving myself a B because I notice an improvement in my comprehension of news programs. Goal: Vocabulearn extemporaneous sentences. Grade: Incomplete. Gave up after one day. Goal: Audiobooks. Grade: C. Went about 1/4 of the way through Ángeles y Demonios. Comprehension improving. Not bad. Also went through my old standby audiobooks, which I can follow pretty well. Extra credit: Slang courses Grade: C. Good exposure to Street Spanish 1-3, Streetwise Spanish dialogues, and learnSpanishlikecrazy bonuses. No real focused study per se, and they need that. Extra credit: Prado's Spanish Grammar Grade: C. Picked this up on a whim. Have gone through 1/2 of the book so far. Overall: Grade: B. Stuck with almost every component of the 8 week plan. Made noticeable progress in all of the studied material. Finished one week early. Edited by luke on 30 October 2006 at 8:19pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Great job! One question, though. How did you get an overall B grade if most of your induividual grades were C? ;-)

That's the beauty of rating yourself. Actually, the extra credit, reading the long novel - which is good for concentration - and not aborting part way through the mission made me feel okay about giving myself a B. I tend to be tough on myself, but don't want to set a bad example for others, so as Sgt. Hulka advised "Psycho" in Stripes, I thought I should, "Lighten up, Francis".

I hear you! I'm sure that it happens to all of us. P.S. It was a joke, by the way. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Yeah, I saw the ;-) emoticon. For some reason I've noticed lately that I respond to jokes as if they are serious. I guess there's a bit of the truth in any good joke.

Luke, Just curious, have you considered upgrading your profile to basic fluency? You sound way past the intermediate stage to me. John 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I will consider upgrading my profile after I complete the next leg of my journey, which includes reviewing the entire FSI Basic Spanish course.
