So I came back to see my Hesig reviews were at 461 unreviewed kanji, which was horrifying at first, but is now finally back down to normal. Still pushing along with new stuff though, and have reached 1370 total. I was hoping to hit 2042 by the time summer ends, but at the rate I'm going that's simply not happening.
Listening to the JapanesePod Intermediate lessons still availible for free (all three of them...) and was pleasantly suprised that they weren't very hard. There's actually some beginner lessons vastly harder, which leads me to believe the labeling is kind of haphazard. On a side note, does anyone know of a place to download the remaining Intermediate lessons for free? There has to be some sort of achived podcast site out there with them. On Spanish, I think I have sucessfully learned 100 vocab words that I have pulled from my readings (can go Spanish to English and English to Spanish). But I suppose the real test comes when they come up in context. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Nice learning log. Good to see the progress that you're making.
Have you tried listening to Spanish audiobooks? My local library has a few Spanish audiobooks available, including La isla del tesoro. I've copied the CDs, but I haven't actually listened to it yet. I guess I'm going to have to -- sounds like it has some interesting vocab! ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

It's nice to see my progress is being followed.
But to answer your question, no, I have not tried listening to any audio books. I plan to at some point, but my listening is not up to par with my reading yet, and I'm a little bit gunshy about it. All in good time I suppose. Not much Heisig today, only up to 1377, and only a few Jpod lessons. A rather unproductive day really. I need to pick up the pace a little bit. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Heisig 1472. Genki ch. 5 done. I feel as if it's looking less and less likely that I will reach my goals by mid-August like I hoped for. In retrospect, it seems like a good thing that I didn't enter the TAC. I would have looked silly. Or maybe it would have inspired me more. I don't really know. What I do know is I've largely forgotten about my JLPT 4 vocab goal. I really have to get back to that.
Another chapter from my Spanish book done, but otherwise not much going on there either. Hope everyone else is feeling more industrius than I am. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Really having problems now, but I think I have a valid excuse. After having to get some unexpected dental work done, I've been a bit to out of it to do anything productive in English, let alone in anything else. But I'm back.
Heisig 1500, which feels like a good mile stone. Still another 600 to go though, which seems like a lot. Having the kanji all numbered is both a blessing and a curse. And of course more JPod. More of La Isla del Tesoro too. I felt bad initially as I had to look up ten words on a single page (and this is supposed to be an "easy" book) but after I did look them up, I found out I had missed "skiff" "quartermaster" and other words I don't feel too bad about not knowing off the top of my head. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
