I'm pretty pleased with how much I accomplished this week, though it was more like a
spree then annihilation. I still need to step it up a bit. I managed to get my Anki
deck completely caught up (425 words, both directions) and learned an additional 100
words. For Grammar I'm sticking to PMP Spanish Vocabulary & Complete Spanish Grammar.
For reading I struggled through the first four stories in Angel Flores' First Spanish
reader. I can generally figure out the vocabulary as I'm reading but the grammar still
eludes me...half the time I get confused as to who is doing which action. I'm sure with
additional practice it will get easier, but it is frustrating right now. I also went
back to the beginning of FSI and reviewed Unit 1. In total I spend 7hrs 27 min in
study this week, which I'm pretty happy with, but I need to get in 10hrs in order to
meet my goal of 500hrs by the end of the year. So I'll need to step it up this week.

I'm away from my home computer, so I can't give an exact update on this week's accomplishments, but I studied about 5 hrs and learned an additional 100 words this week. It has become apparent that the 10 hrs a week that I originally set as a goal was entirely too optimistic for me, so now I'm shooting for 5-7. I read several more short stories from the Angel Flores reader, which I quite enjoy. I start recording myself reading so that I could listen to myself and see how the accent and tempo sounded. Aside from the fact that I sound like I'm 12, I was actually pretty pleased, but then my previous Spanish teachers had always been complimentary of my pronunciation. All in all a good week!

Me gusta leer que estás progresando mismo que sea más lento que habías esperado. Siempre es difícil tener suficiente tiempo a estudiar y a veces falta la motivación, lo pasa a mí también. Pero tengo certeza que al fin del año hablaremos español perfectamente :-). Buena suerte para ti.

Espero que vuelvas, veo que tu último login ha sido el 26 de enero y así parece que no quieres continuar tu log. Es una pena, también me haces falta en nuestro grupo de TAC.
