update 10/24/13

This week I have been using a combination of flash cards and Rosetta Stone, which I very much like. I feel like I have made more progress this week than in any of the weeks prior. So from this point on that is the formula I will use.
I should also note that I have spent about an hour at home this week on Rosetta Stone. Oh and last week, I never got to talk to Libby but tomorrow I will.

The network at my school has been blocking the lessons that I download for Rosetta Stone, as a result I have turned to flash cards. I have done thirty minutes of Rosetta at home, but I have to say that I really like the flash cards. Even if I get the chance to start doing Rosetta Stone again, I think I will continue to use the flash cards. Tomorrow I will have my first meeting with Libby, so I will see how that goes. I still think my learning is coming along slowly, but I think the flash cards will help.

Yesterday I finished Unit 1 lesson 4 which was the last lesson in Unit 1. I did about an hour at home to get me to that point. I feel like I am making decent progress, but I need to speed up. I said the same thing last week, but I have had a busy week. No more playing around.

This week I finished Unit 1 Lesson 3. I spent about an hour outside of class working on it and finally got it done Thursday in class. So, I think I might have to step up the pace to reach my goal by the end of the year. That is, be able to hold a conversation in German. I will try to complete a lesson every two days instead of four.
