Colloquial Dutch 1 up to page 161
Assimil Dutch with Ease lessons 18/19/20 active wave
Michel Thomas Foundation Dutch CD 4 complete (second run through)
When you feel like you're making lots of progress and no progress at the same time :/
Hoping I can learn enough to pass the A2 exam at the very least. T-2 months and counting.

Colloquial Dutch 1 up to page 170 - thinking I might need to do some revision of past chapters to reinforce learning
Didn't do much else as it's been a very tiring and taxing week (for multiple reasons) and my brain needed some R&R.
If I can keep up my planned pace of 10 lessons per day, I should finish the book in just over a week (obviously a big if). After I've finished will probably spend some time consolidating instead of starting another course.

Colloquial Dutch up to page 180
Assimil Dutch with Ease lessons 22 and 23 (passive)
Michel Thomas Foundation Dutch CD 5 completed (second run through)
I keep seesawing between "this exam will be OK" and "what the hell am I thinking?"
I'm curious as to why so many professional language exams have passmarks of 50% or thereabouts?

Re: Dutch and Swedish log
Just gone back to work so not had as much time as I would have liked for studying recently:
Finished MT Foundation Dutch (2nd run through)
Started watching lots of A2/B1 level Dutch videos while walking on the treadmill, doing my best to avoid sneaking a look at the subtitles, generally feel like my listening comprehension is improving

Michel Thomas Advanced Course (first run through) - CD2 complete
Did some Assimil revision and I've watched a huge amount of Youtube videos from channels aimed at Dutch learners over the last few weeks.
