Your schedule doesn't sound slow or boring to me at all. Don't let comments like that knock your confidence. Serpent's links are all worth a look though (although I personally find GLOSS to be very boring indeed, and maybe better suited to the intermediate stages, depending on your learning style)especially destinos, and you will probably have to vary things at some point.
I think you will be able to absorb a lot of Spanish doing what you are doing. I myself used Assimil and FSI at the same time (as well as doing lots of other things in Spanish at the same time). Kind of like the ying and yang of language learning really, I really don't think I would have progressed much at all without these two. Iguanomon made a very good point about News in Slow Spanish. However, I found that sources like that were great as a bridge to understanding native audio. Just be careful not to use it as a crutch for too long, and to also listen to at least 10 minutes of native speed audio each day as per the thread "listening from the beginning" perhaps using the excellent links to audio with transcripts that iguanomon linked to. btw, which drills are you skipping? Just the response drills, or all of them. Edited by dbag on 26 January 2014 at 3:14am 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

dbag, Thanks for the positive feedback. I find the content of NISS very interesting, but I'll now make a point of also
listening to everything at normal speed... and add in some of the other recommended regular speed content (like the Amnesty International Spain podcast). I find the Platequemos drills very boring, but I also know the drills are helping by laying out the patterns of Spanish very clearly. 1 person has voted this message useful |
