SuperMemo: 4354 ‘cards’

• Stats: 903 Nouns, 193 Verbs.
• This is what takes most of my time but can be done anytime so allows me an extra hour or two of studying time each day that would normally be lost. Currently about 250 pop up each morning for review.

Practical Grammar: Chapter 8, completed

• All the vocabulary and exercises are entered into SuperMemo to help over-learn the material.

Platiquemos: Chapter 4.22

• Progress has been slower here than I had hoped. I find it hard to find time to listen to the material, and I am not able to answer the prompts in the pause provided without lots of practice. My ‘audible’ comprehension is not as good as my ‘visual’ comprehension.

LIYC Spanish: Lesson 17 entered into SuperMemo

• I have been listening to the first CD as time permits in the car. All vocabulary from the first 17 lessons are now in SuperMemo.

Easy Spanish Reader: Chapter 1

• Have not touched this book since last time.

Madrigal Magic Key: Lesson 3, completed

• Rules and translation exercises are entered into SuperMemo as I study the lessons.

My evaluation: Slow

• Progress has been slower than what I desired. I was hoping to get through one Platiquemos lesson per week but I have not been able to work through the audio often enough to get it cemented in my old brain.
• I am also surprised how much time it takes to get through the SuperMemo flash cards. It is a good learning method it is not just vocabulary since I also have all the grammar points and translation drills in there too - so it is a lot of work
