I decided to start a log because I need self-motivation. My English skills are poor but now because of work I need improve my French skills so forgive me if I make a lot of English mistakes. But I love corrections,correct me please :)
I studied french during a month in a language school in Barcelona,Spain. Course was intensive,one level per month so I did A1 level. During this course I did several intercambios one to one,read some books for beginners with audio. After the course I lived in Sud of France with my french family. I was there two months,more or less. I improved my French skills but not enough because village was so small and I couldn't talk with anyone except my family and some shop assitant.
Now I'm back to Bcn, I don't know which is my level. Maybe a2-b1? I did pons methode but I think isn't enough so I bought some books.
Grammaire progressive du francais (niveau débutant, I0m finishing it)
Grammaire progressive du francais niveau intermèdiaire
Phonetique progressive du francais (I haven't recived yet from amazon fr)
And a friend let me assimil methode in pdf avec les audios.
My goal is pass the b2 exam in the end of September
from tomorrow:
I'll study 4 hours every day. 2 of grammar and 2 reading + listening. Now I'm reading le tour du monde en 80 jours with audio.
I'll do every week 2 essays.
I'll see one a film in francais every week.
and I'll try to do lot of intercabios as I can.
What do you think? Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance :)

Sounds like you have a great study schedule set up! And Le Petit Prince would be a great
second novel. You may want to breifly look over passé simple for the listen-reading if
you haven't already. No need to learn how to conjugate it, just to recognize it in
novels.
If you have any other free time you may want to add watching some DVDs (if you have any)
with the French language track. For now it can just be "fun" time to see how much you can
understand so no need to study in depth. That or some podcasts.
