It is also very cool seeing someone learning my native language. If you need any help, feel free to ask me for help!
Great log, by the way!

Yay! PROGRESS!
I just had a 15 minute oral conversation (not text chat) with a Brazilian and only twice did I ask "Como se diz em inglês, por favor" and thrice I said "Fala mais devagar, por favor."
Whee, I've just gained some confidence! :D I'm on my way to talking like a native Brazilian!

NEW PLAN. Because the other one was incredibly ineffective:
Reading/Writing
1. Read an article in Portuguese and highlight words you don't know. These words will be your next vocabulary
2. Study vocabulary list by using Flashcards
3. Write a sentence with each vocabulary word
4. Write in lang-8 journal using that vocabulary and the vocab you already know
Take note of corrections
5.Study verb tables/grammar
Listening/Speaking
6. Listen to podcasts/watch movies in Portuguese
7. Play around with new Portuguese software
8. Do a lesson in Livemocha
9. Talk to Brazilian friends
Let's see how this plan works.
