Thanks for the recommendations! I really hope I can start a reader sooner than expected!
Right now, learning Russian still causes me a lot of burnout, but it's something I have to overcome, I nearly did this with German and I can do it with Russian too! I think the most annoying stage is when you already know basic grammar and vocabulary but you have to look everything up in the dictionary, and yet you are so eager about reading! I'm sure I will overcome this by the end of 2013, with the help of my team mates! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I think 2013 is only going to start for me regarding Russian after I've finished my
first Assimil Russian. Currently lessons are a bit annoying, long (especially the notes in Italian) and dealing with situations I don't plan on dealing with anytime soon (like going to the theater or talking about the weather). As for setting monthly goals in terms of completion of tasks, I don't think that would work out for me. I'd rather set annual goals in terms of level achieved. I study on workdays whenever is possible, that is, when I'm going to work, I rarely skip a lesson. On the other hand, on weekends, days off I can't find the way to study calmly when i'm surrounded by my parents, siblings, in-laws, girlfriend etc. Any time I manage to study on weekends or on holidays (like right now) should be seen as extra time. I think that if we count all the days I'm effectively working in 2013, there will be enough days for me to reach my goals. Besides that, I'm also doing anki almost on a daily basis, even more on weekends, and that won't let me forget things. So, tomorrow i'm leaving for holidays (like I wrote at my Norwegian log) and I won't be able to study from my textbooks for at least 15 days. Maybe by January 20th I'll be able to study at my parent's home if that doesn't mean being away from them for too long (My usual study schedule takes me at least 4 hours to be accomplished, also because I need a mental break from one language to another). Then when I get back to work on February 1st I'm sure I'll be able to fulfill any tasks. Regarding textbook completion, I just do one lesson each day during workdays, and based on that we can have an idea that I might be able to finish one more Assimil book and end the year at about half way through the third one. During the year, I'll know if I have to try extra sources. I really like Living Language but I want to get rid of Assimil first. I want to have enough vocabulary so that, when I try Living Language's grammar explanations, I can focus mostly on grammar. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Today I could finally study Assimil's lesson 57, after 18 days of no Russian. I must say
I'm completely lost, especially when it comes to verbs of motion. You have to deal with both specifiness and aspect. I really need to start over, but I plan to finish the remaining 13 lessons before I do so. Anyway, glad I could resume it. Maybe tomorrow I can continue, if things go on as planned. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Nice to have you back on the forum!
You mentioned elsewhere that you intend to go through other Assimil books. When you say you intend to start over, do you mean you’ll give the 70-lesson Assimil another chance or that you want to start Russian over with another edition? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I want to start Russian with another edition. As I have three different editions, I think
it's much more fun (or less annoyance =D ) than reviewing a whole book. I really need basic grammar drilling, though, and I bet you feel the same, from what I could read from your log. 1 person has voted this message useful |
