I've been learning Spanish for over 4 years and I'm going through FSI basic now:) I
started it when I discovered it (about 6 months ago,) and I'm on Unit 41 now. I could have gone through it quicker, but I've spent time away from it here and there. The thing is, maybe that's one way to do it, as I've never found it a hard slog, nor have I needed to use the text or repeat lessons to get at least 90% accuracy in my responses. It hasn't been so easy that it's boring, either. I just go through the audio once, and while it hasn't been terribly difficult, it definitely has been tremendously helpful in improving the fluidity and automaticity of my speech. I did recently start doing a simultaneous review of the earlier audios starting from Vol. 2, just in case. Right now I'm on Unit 29 for review, as well as 41 for the first time. The review lessons so far have really seemed easy, not only in terms of vocabulary and grammar, but in terms of being able to orally keep up with them. I'd say I'm going through them with at least 98% accuracy, which I think shows that the 1st wave did accomplish something, even though I'm past the point where I imagine many would say I shouldn't be using a course. Probably I could have benefited from it even more earlier on, but I didn't know about it. Anyway, this has been my long-winded way of telling the OP that he can always go back to FSI in a year (or even 2 or 3) and still get something out of it. 1 person has voted this message useful |
