I've realized that I really need to work on more verb tenses. If I were to sit down I
could conjugate a lot of tenses, but when speaking I have trouble conjugating on the fly.
This will be my focus after I finish Pimsleur because currently I am only able to study
when I workout which is why I use Pimsleur. I will probably review some MT courses as he
does a great job with the conjugations.

Well, I broke my streak of awesomeness. Anyways even when I can't make time for a
long period of study I still manage to get some in.

Yesterday wasn't good for studying since I flew into East Michigan for a day of golf,
but I still talked on skype in Spanish for about 30 minutes.

Today I got back on track with

The weekend is a fickle beast. This is for the whole weekend. I should be back to my
usual schedule on Monday and finishing Pimsleur on Friday.

My goal of finishing on Friday just got a lot harder due to me not doing as many as I
wanted to. We shall see if I can pull it out it will be tough. I am definitely ready
to be done with Pimsleur. I like Pimsleur, but in moderation. It was definitely not
made to do what I am doing with it.

Long time since I have updated, but anyway I finished the third Pimsleur. It was a
long battle, but in the I think it helped me, but not as much as other methods I am
guessing. I really need to start working with words so I can see them. I hope to do
some exercises out of of the books I got from the library. The name escapes me at the
moment, but I'll update that later.

After Pimsleur my Spanish learning has been scattered. I don't have a set plan and well
I think that is fine as long as I do learn new things everyday. Lately I have been to
the Micheal Thomas advanced review courses. I really like these courses they make me
think quick and help me with verb conjugations of other tenses. I started doing
exercises out of Complete Spanish Grammar today and it reminds me of my high school
Spanish days, but it is introducing me to a lot of vocab, so I will continue to use it.

As for my plan for the month of August I am not sure yet. I really want to get started
on the language that I will be applying for with the Boren Scholarship whether that is
Portuguese, Turkish, or something else I haven't decided. Either way my Spanish will be
amped up this coming month with my goal of being able to conversations that I want to in
Spanish.

Well, I have finally found an actual goal to work towards. I want to take the Spanish
CLEP test at the end of August in order to get some college credit for it. I am not sure
I will be able to get 12 credits for it, but I will try. I feel 6 credits is all ready
within my grasp and by the end of August I will get that easily.

As for my Spanish training today I did 40 min of Advanced Review with Micheal Thomas.
