This is a very interesting log. I am really intriqued by LR, and will be using it at some stage.
If you enjoy LR I am sure you will love Spanish with ease.I'm really impressed at how many hours youve clocked up so quickly, and will be following along to see how you progress. Best of luck! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It is time for me to set another goal. This time, it will be for a longer period.
I want to do 120 hours of Spanish in the next 60 days (roughly 2 months). That comes down to 2 hours a day. I will do this mainly with Assimil Spanish with ease and with reading Spanish. As I explained earlier, I will use Assimil to fill the gaps in my Spanish that I noticed during my LR experiment. I will read a lot of Spanish in order to really improve my reading. During my LR experiment, I didn't read a single word in Spanish, only Spanish audio and Dutch reading. So during the next 60 days, I will try to improve my reading skills by reading Spanish. I do have a question about this. I will do this again with Harry Potter. I already have the first Spanish book and just ordered HP2-4, so that should be enough Spanish reading for the next 60 days. I am wondering however, whether it is better to just read, or read alongside the Spanish audiolibro to also further improve my listening and catch two birds with one stone. Well, today is day 1. Took yesterday off, thought I deserved that;) Assimil hasn't arrived yet, nor have my new Spanish books. So I will start today with reading HP1 (again..:P). Bye bye! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I'd definitely recommend listening to the audiobook at the same time. Amongst other things, it'll help you connnect the original text with what you've already learned through listening-reading, and further reinforce native intonation and pronunciation, encouraging you on through the text with a natural flowing rhythm. ¡Buena suerte!

Muchas gracias!
Just did my first hour of pure reading, and I must say, it is really fun to finally read what you have listened to for 50 hours. A lot of ' aahhh, so that is how it is spelled' and 'so thats what I heard!'. I did, however, need 1 hour to listen to capítulo uno, that took only 31 minutes on the audiobook, so I definitely read slower than the audiolibro. Will go through the second hour while listening along to see the difference! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Día 1/60
1,0 hora reading Harry Potter y la Piedra filosofal 1,5 LR L2-L2 Harry Potter y la Piedra filosofal Total1: 2,5 horas Total2: 52,5 horas I am taking Teango's advice and will read my Spanish books while listening to the Spanish audio. Works really well and helps me further in differentiating between words I hear. It is great to finally see how everything is written now, I really like this! It is also much less concentration heavy than reading Dutch alongside listening to Spanish, as I don't have to really connect what I read to what I hear. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Día 2/60
2,0 horas LR L2-L2 Harry Potter y la Piedra filosofal Total1: 4,5 horas Total2: 54,5 horas Still reading Spanish at the moment. I called the store where I ordered my Assimil to ask why it is taking so long. They seem to be having some problems with all their orders. So I will probably have to wait a little longer. In the mean time, I will just continue to read and listen to more Spanish. Beginning to notice now that the reading doesn't intimidate me anymore. That is good:) 1 person has voted this message useful | |
