As of now my Russian level is very basic. I have currently gone through the listed
items in 2 months of study.
- Alphabet and basic phrases
- Pimsleur through lesson twenty five of level one. ( I have stopped with Pimsleur and
switched to Assimil. )
- Assimil 1951 through lesson fifteen.
////////////////////////////////////////////
My goal over the next 107 days is..
-Complete Assimil
I will first listen to the audio file several times until I can follow along with the
words . Then copy them into a note book, after which I will follow along until I
understand most of it. The last thing I will do is make flash cards using some of the
sentences and also make some new sentences using the new words I learned with the help
of a native.
- Have a minimum of 270 hours of study
( by studying three hours a day six to seven days a week)
- 50+ hours of Skype conversations.
- Reach B1 level
I think with enough work and some help from a Russian friend of mine I will be able to
achieve this.
I will keep studying after this, but a lot of my free time will be gone after the 107
day period. So I want to achieve as much as I can in this time first before setting a
new goal.
Any tips are appreciated as this is my first foreign language learning experience.

This looks like an extremely promising start, and welcome to the team! Why do you have to stop after 107 days?

Thank you. I wont have to stop studying, but I wont have the chance to study as much.
After the 107 days are up I will be working much more.

Welcome to Team Sputnik! Interesting post, and you've really covered some material there
in a relatively short
time! It's great seeing you quantifying your goals like that, as it gives good measure of
your plans. I might try doing that too.
Will follow your log with interest!
