Wayne's 2018 Log

Postby wayne5000 » Sun May 20, 2018 3:31 pm

Starting my first log on here to document my progress in the Super Challenge in Spanish, and log any other language studying and activities.

Languages I'm studying and/or interested in:
Spanish
Spanish will be my main focus, but I'll also be studying and dabbling in these other languages,

French
Tagalog
Hebrew
Mandarin
Japanese

I tend to start things and get frustrated after awhile if I don't see quick progress ;) so I'm hoping that keeping a log about what I'm doing will keep me focused. :)

Right now I'm planning on updating weekly, but that may change, I'll see how it goes.

Anyway, I'm not much of a writer, as you can see, :D So I'll end this before I ramble on anymore, lol.
Thanks for reading!
Bye for now,
Wayne

Welcome to the forum. :D You're not the only one that can be frustrated with slow progress: I think that's why this community is helpful.

Thank you for the welcome :)
So true :) I've learned so much from reading this forum. Getting lots of ideas and tip to set up a good study routine, rather than the haphazard way I'm currently doing, :D

Updating my log
06/10/18
Watched various shows and movies from different Spanish channels ,mostly Univision,Unimás,CineLatino and Sony Espanol.
(This was with closed captioning on, and mostly in the background)
Put 9 series from rtve alacarta in my favoritos list, and watched the first episode of España, entre El cielo y la tierra -Las islas de la Luna. Nice slow understandable narration, and with the CC I think this will be a good resource for me.

Watched Destinos episode 1
Reading-still working on what I want to use for resources, I know there's a huge list of resources on this forum, I plan on studying that for ideas, and also for ideas on podcasts.

Also have downloaded some of the first audio files from FSI basic Spanish , and the workbooks and plan on going through that.

Started Duolingo
Added and studied vocabulary with Anki
Goals
Continue Duolingo
Find reading and podcast resources
Watch next episode of España, entre el cielo y la tierra
Continue Destinos
Add and review cards to Anki

I'll try to update my log with more details of my studying and the resources I'm using, still trying to formulate a more structured plan, but for now this is how I'm proceeding :D

Bye for now,
Wayne
