A language learners’ forum

After abandoning my studies very shortly after my new years resolutions, and dropping my last attempt working mainly through Linguaphone, I feel the urge to start again!

After splurging on some of the teaching materials discounts today, as if throwing money at it would solve my lack of motivation, I am restarting my attempts to learn Spanish. This time focusing on trying to use the language more, hence I envisage listening to podcasts, iTalki conversations, reading simplified Spanish material. I need to update some of my progress "bars" below, since I may not focus on these materials.

If you want to look at my prior attempts at tackling Spanish these were my prior logs:

Spanish B1 Level by May 2016 [Spanish TAC 2016]

Spanish.....Again!

Hopefully my motivation holds up better this time!

Is this the version of Linguaphone Spanish you used?

The seller is not very responsive, so I wondered if this was the version you had. I cannot tell if it should be a 30 or 50-Lesson version. I saw from another of your posts you were up to at least Lesson 21 of 50, so if this was what your books looked like, I was thinking it could confirm this was a 50 lesson course. If not, perhaps it is 30.

By the way, I know you stopped using it, but I am curious, did you get much further than Lesson 21? I am using other courses for Spanish, but find Linguaphone courses a particularly interesting historical curiosity.
