I thought I might motivate myself by making one of these. My aim is to achieve basic Spanish proficiency before I start the course at university (I will be learning Spanish ab initio, but perhaps with some knowledge of my own the course will be easier and I will be able to impress them a little.)
I have been learning for about a week already, working through the teach yourself Spanish course and a seperate grammar book. Today hasn't been the best for learning Spanish..I've been focusing more on German. I have done one of the Spanish puzzles available here but nothing else. Will make up for it tomorrow :)

Out of interest, which uni are you going to and what course are you doing? I'm about to go into my second year of uni, doing French & Spanish (I also did Spanish ab-initio) :)

oh, and welcome to the site!

Today I have worked on Teach Yourself Spanish Unit 05, Listening exercises, for about 1 hour.
Tried out Coffee Break Spanish Podcast Course, Lesson 1. Already knew it all but it was fun going over old stuff. :)
Spend about 1 hour trying out the exercises on Live Mocha, pretty fun, reminded me of Rosetta Stone in that it showed you just pictures and no English. Still have not successfully chatted online in Spanish to anyone yet (very slow chat connection on that site.) Anyone know any good Spanish chat rooms?
That's about it for today, still need to keep up German.
