I haven't updated his log in quite some time.My first post in quite some time. i've just bought a home and
been working on it quite a bit. FSI- I've gone through unit 25, but felt I needed to review these again. I'll be starting my second round of study on Unit 22 this week. Reading- I finished a 500 page book and understood the main points of the book. I believe the minor details escaped me many times. I would say I had around 70%- 75%% comprehension. Other Listening- Bible - Reina Valera 1960- listening from Galatians through 2 Thessalonians, listening to each book quite a few times. I'm now going back to reading the chapters and my comprehension has improved greatly. I enjoy doing this and comprehension is around 65% - 75% I've come a very long way since beginning my Spanish studies in earnest once again 6 months ago. I had set my goal to be at the B2 level by December, but I believe that a middle B1 level is much more realistic. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I have continued on with FSI, finishing up Units 22 and 23. I have moved on to Unit 24
and feel that I am just now becoming very comfortable with the way I study the units. I listen to the unit 1-2 times and then work to read over the entire lesson, saying the answers out loud. I mark the parts that I don't understand and come back later reviewing them again. I find that after I read over and get the written portion down, the links are drawn together in my mind. I hope to finish Unit 24 this week and hope to be done with Unit 30 (book two) by the end of June. With my schedule, this is the most practical thing. I was able to share during the Spanish church service this past Saturday. I shared on joy citing (Romans 14:17; Galatians 5:22-23 and John 15) and how joy is not produced from ourselves and it can't come from our circumstances. True joy is only produced by the life of Christ within a born again man or woman. This is something supernatural and not something that we can learn or try to work up within ourselves. This is why some people have no joy, they don't have Christ. Others are truly born again, but their life is empty through disobedience to the revealed word of God (John 15). True joy comes from turning from our own ways and putting our faith in Christ alone. Once we have Holy Spirit within us (after being born again) God himself is able to keep His commandments through us. This keeps us in constant fellowship with Christ and gives the believer joy. A friend of mine from Panama pulled me aside after the service was over and really encouraged me that I did well, without pausing and saying "um, em." He gave me a few grammar points which I really appreciated. I'm not sure if anyone reads my log, but if you do, be sure to leave a comment. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Lesson 26 complete - I'll be reviewing a few of those reflexive verbs. Onward to lesson
27. I also went to a Spanish Bible Study covering the 1st chapter of Romans. The study itself was great and I also understood about 80-85% which was great. My listening is definitely improving. Thank you kmoenini. It's been interesting to see you learning by listening/reading. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

DELE B1
Although my logbook says that I am shooting for a B2 by December of this month, I will be instead aiming for the B1 this upcoming November. If anyone knows how to update the title, please let me know how. There is a testing station 1 hour from my home, which is fantastic for me. I hope to be done with FSI lesson 45 at least a month before the exam and then look for pen pals to write with each week as well as some language exchange partners to speak with. Looking forward to the challenge and so thankful I don't have to drive and get a hotel to take the exam. 1 person has voted this message useful |
