I decided to work out my total so far under TAC. I've classed the study as either active or passive. Active study is where you are thinking, reading or responding, and includes studying Assimil and doing exercises, Michel Thomas, L-R, and the grammar drills. Passive study is passive listening, such as Learn in your Car, revising Assimil at lunch, or watching programs such as French in Action. I may introduce a third category to cover watching films, and speaking the language.
French
Active Study - 1925 minutes = 32 hours.
Passive Study - 795 minutes = 13.25 hours
Total: 45.25 hours
Spanish
Active Study - 225 minutes = 3.75 hours
Passive Study - 40 minutes
Total: 4.25 hours
Russian
Active Study - 0 minutes
Passive Study - 0 minutes
Total: 0 hours
Hungarian
Active Study - 0 minutes
Passive Study - 0 minutes
Total: 0 hours
Overall Total: 49.5 hours

Weekend Summary
16/05/08-18/05/08
- Managed to do very little the entire weekend again, as my social commitments take precedence.
Penguin Parallel Text Short Stories French - English 2 (~1 hour)
- Decided to purchase this for French, as I liked the Spanish equivalent. It seems that the French is a lot easier, and less literary, than the Spanish parallel text.

- Didn't spend as long as planned on MT. I started watching Professor Arguelles reviews of language products on YouTube, and couldn't stop.
Le Petit Prince (L-R) - Chapters 5-8 (30 minutes)
