Re: Portuguese learning plan - what level will I be?
I've finished Assimil, Muito Prazer, and Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar ( I've read through it, but I find myself constantly rereading. )

Re: Portuguese learning plan - what level will I be?
I'm confused about your question. You list Portuguese in your profile as B1, how did you determine that level?

The OP asked that back in March. Looks like a success story I'd also like to know where the B1 estimate comes from (not questioning it, just curious)

I haven't taken an official test as I see that as a waste of time. Self assessed, but I've looked through a word frequency dictionary and I'm good for the first 2500 words, I have a journeyman's command of the subjunctive and the more complicated grammatical features, and I can read native level material.

Congrats - I'd say you are rather successful for the period of time studied. Enjoy your use of Portuguese!
