How long does it take you guys on average to finish an Assimil basic course? I know they all vary in terms of length, but about how long?

There are different ways of approaching Assimil courses. My preferred way takes me through a course once in a span of two or three weeks. After going through it once, I go through it again, but I don't bother with the passive stage. For NFWE, I went through it three times over eight weeks, with around one to two hours of studying each day. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The basic Assimil course directions as best I recall are this:
100 lessons total in 150 days .days 1-50 passive wave lessons 1-50 .days 51-100 passive lessons 51-100 while active wave review of 1-50 .days 101-150 continue active review wave to end (lessons 51-100) P.S. Depending on your familiarity with the target language, you can speed it up or slow it down. For example you could double the time -two days per lesson- and still finish in only 300 days. 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

This is from New French with Ease.
Lesson 1-49 is passive. Lesson 50 starts second wave. At the end of each lesson, you go back to beginning lessons and do the active phase. Listen, read, and then translate from English. A total of 113 chapters. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I've always been a one-a-day man. Is there a set pattern you go through for each lesson for the first run-through? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The first time I go through a lesson, I: 1)Go through the audio twice 2)Go through the text 3)Transcribe the text while reading it aloud (scriptorium) 4)Go through both the text and audio at the same time 5)Do the exercises 6)Plug anything challenging or interesting into Anki 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Have you any of yu use a method assimil with only 70 lesson as in Le russe sans peine ?
If yes, do you think the longer and less lessons are a better way of learning and assimilating the language? 1 person has voted this message useful |
