Hello everyone
I'm going to be in Spain for a week sometime in June, and I'd like to be able to have conversations with the natives. I have no particular level in mind, because I've never taken a language test before, but I want to acquire a rudimentary but useful conversational ability. So not just 'My name is...', 'I'm from...', but to be able to haltingly speak about a range of commonplace topics and understand the gist of what Spanish speakers say. I can already read French well enough, but I can't speak or understand it spoken, so for my third language, I want to focus on speaking and oral comprehension. I'm keeping a public log to keep myself on track and on target. I'm going to update this log at the end of every day with what I did during that day. Plan for each day: Learn 50 new words from Memrise, and review. Learn a chapter of Assimil and understand everything Go through half a unit of FSI twice I'm currently doing the Duolingo Spanish track and should be done in the next few days. It's a good introduction. After a week or two I will find someone on Skype to practise with. Cleverpig 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Day 1
Achieved: 1. 50 new words 2. 1 Assimil chapter 3. Around ten units of duolingo Failed to achieve: 1. Half a unit of FSI Assessment No excuses: I didn't do the FSI because I'm naturally lazy. I have an hour commute to uni tomorrow so I'll have time to do a whole unit tomorrow. I've been looking at this reading listening method I've seen crop up on forums and blogs. I might try it in a month or two once I've learnt a reasonable amount of words. Assimil seems promising. Overall, my first day gave me the impression that Spanish is easier than French. Consistent pronunciation; every syllable pronounced. Cleverpig p.s. Does anyone know what the retention rate of these logs is? 1 person has voted this message useful | |
