Morning
Michel Thomas Spanish Vocabulary Course CD4 (Tracks 9-11) (~15 minutes)
- I'll switch back to Spanish Assimil for my lunch times, as I'll be heading to Majorca in a week. I'll try an increase the amount of Spanish I'm doing for the next 7 days.

- A long study session of both French and Spanish.
French
Michel Thomas Foundation French CD8-3 to CD8-11 (~1 Hours)
Michel Thomas Advanced French CD1-1 to CD1-4 (~30 minutes)
- I might start skipping ahead more than one track, as I'm growing very familiar with the material.
Spanish
Assimil Spanish with Ease Lessons (Reread 20-24 and reviewed exercises) (~30 minutes)
Assimil Spanish with Ease Lessons (Completed lessons 25,26,27) (~1 hour)
- I'd started 25 before, but never did the exercises.
Barrons 1001 Pitfalls in Spanish (~30 minutes)
- I love this book. It concentrates on the most commons mistakes, and some really subtle ones as well.
Penguin Parallel Text Spanish-English Short Stories (~30 minutes)
- Struggling through a rather literary story by Isabelle Allende. The register of this book is much higher than the French equivalent.

Michel Thomas Spanish Vocabulary Course CD4 (Tracks 10-12(?)) (~15 minutes)
- As I have set both CD's to one playlist, I forgot to check which track I finished on.

Lunch
Listened to Assimil Spanish with Ease - (Lessons 8-11 once, 12 - 24 twice). (~40 minutes)
- I realised I somehow duplicated all the Spanish lessons, similar to the French Assimil.

Evening
French
Michel Thomas Foundation French CD8-4 to CD8-6 (~15 minutes)
- Just a very short dabble into the French.
Spanish
McGraw Hill Spanish Grammar - Practice Makes Perfect (Exercises 1.1 - 1.13) )~ (1.5 hours)
- I purchased this at lunch, as I liked using the French grammar drill. I've never done these before, as I've tended to concentrate on audio over written material.
- This grammar book is a lot harder than the French, as a lot of exercises are full sentence translations.
Barrons 1001 Pitfalls in Spanish (~30 minutes)
- Covered some useful tips around the use of the imperfect and the preterite tenses.

Morning
FSI Basic Hungarian Unit1-Tape1 (~15 minutes)
- Decided to switch to Hungarian for the mornings, as I've been covering Spanish at lunch time.
- As I've mentioned before elsewhere, this is one of the best Hungarian courses I've ever come across. I can't believe it's free, and the audio quality seems very good compared to other FSI courses.
