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.

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?

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
