However, I'm going to have to slow down with it a bit because I find I can't learn and remember everything in one day and then move on to the next day and recall everything. So, I'm going to keep practicing one area until I feel I've really learned it before moving on to the next video. For 16 days I've kept up with it on a daily basis but I still don't feel like I have the Greetings Section really down pat and want to spend more time going over it and then spend more time on the Survival Expressions after that. For me, anyway, it should work out a lot better to just do two or three videos worth a week instead of five. We live in a an area of southern Colorado that has a large Hispanic population and I am able to practice my Spanish every time I go anywhere! My honorary daughter in law is from Honduras and we will be eating out with them tomorrow. She has been such a help to me in learning Spanish. She spoke no English when she married our honorary son (he met her on his mission to Honduras). She now speaks English perfectly but I still don't speak Spanish! I so want to be able to speak to her family when they come to visit. Following along with the Learn Spanish Challenge is very fun and educational!

I am keeping up. Having many different ways to repeat sure makes it easier to study. Thanks. A wish: A method, especially with the flash cards, that allows one to drop from the stack of words (phrases) those that have been learned. This way one can concentrate on learning those that one hasn't learned yet. It seems to me that this would allow for a more efficient use of study time. Hurrah! I am keeping up.

I have done much of Visual Link Spanish (VLS) at least once before, so I know. Thanks for your support.
