Hello everyone,

The progress this week was average. Here are the specifics;

Currently, I have flashcards for 700 terms (more or less) and I have already selected 50 terms for next week. I have selected my terms for the next several weeks.

Using the flashcards, I had a good week besides today, but today was not a disaster, it just wasn't quite as good as I normally do. 

I have decided to alter my routine as follow; Instead of doing new terms 6 days per week, I am doing them 5 days. I am going to set Monday and Thursday aside for reviewing the terms in the stack of words that I know. I want to try this change to see if it helps me retain words that I have learned.

Speaking and listening was on par for what I normally do. I completed 5 new podcasts, plus I have done lots of reviewing of lessons I have done in the past.

Please feel free to leave comments if you have any strategies for learning how to speak the language.
