I'm so glad to see you're switching things up. Who cares whether you're doing LR/RL right or not! What you're doing is very similar to what I did and it worked for me. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised how much more you'll learn with this mix.
When the FSI course was developed, it was intended to be used in class with native speaker instructors and outside class as homework. Those students were heavily immersed in Spanish for the duration of the course on a daily basis for a lot of the day. That component is the missing element from the FSI download that you have to supply yourself. ¡Suerte! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Wow, I see what a wonderful resource opensubtitles.org can be. All those movie subtitles of movies and TV I like. The Spanish in subtitles tends to be pretty simple, and it will make a nice supplement to the books I'm reading.
Let's see, google news in Spanish for current events and common language about what people are talking about, opensubtitles for conversational Spanish, and novels for more complex language. I find the novels the hardest, and, in most ways, the most interesting, so far. I'm going to do whatever I want with this material and switch around to keep it interesting, but I think I'm going to spend some time plugging along through a novel each day. Even a few minutes a day will add up to a lot as time goes on... I've got to try to get my inspiration back up to do more of FSI. I still have a lot of parts of my Spanish that I bet will never become automatic unless I practice them a bunch. Native speaker materials are fun, and I really wonder what Gabo is going to do with his character next :) steve 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well; it's getting to be time to get back into FSI/Plati.
I think I'm going to do a lightning fast review of the first 14 lessons again before I move ahead; I should be able to get through a couple of lessons a day this weekend. I'm not going to push of any sort of perfection. I'll do the first 14 lessons, and then more ahead. I have a bad tendency to push for perfection; I'm going to try to avoid that. I'll hit it tomorrow during lunch hour. 1 person has voted this message useful |
