	I am now dedicating one hour every Sunday to Listening-Reading native materials. Finished Tape 5 Unit 4 French Basic 1, just did lesson 35 of Using French, Went through all 25 FrenchPod101 intermediate mp3's in a row (now I will listen to one Lesson a day three times a day for the next month). The intermediate series isn't difficult, but it is incredibly rich with with idioms and expressions. I will probably listen to all the sub-Saharan FSI FAST course after the FrenchPod101 lessons. I should really go back to coffee break French as well, just because they do their grammar sections so well. I would like to take the French CLEP in January. Ideally I am aiming for a near perfect score (80). A score of 59 is the equivalent of two years of university study, I'm just using the exam to measure my ability and see if I could place write into a 3rd year French composition/conversation course.

	Update Long overdue but the semester is killing me. MBA program is so time consuming. Anyways, went through all the FrenchPod.com Intermediate lessons and working my way through the upper-intermediate now. Watched the first dozen episodes of FIA. Doing L/R regularly (at least a couple of times a week for 1/2). Joined the Alliance Francaise :) 1 person has voted this message useful

	Well the semester is almost over so I am studying for finals, but started reviewing Using French so I pick up where I left off and wrap it up over winter break. MP3s and FrenchPod have been a blessing to help me keep learning during the study period (in the gym, in line, while driving etc). I plan on taking the DALF C1 exam next year.
