Another week of studying Spanish has passed. Intuitively it feels I have made progress this past week. I think that’s all thanks to Coffee Break Spanish. It’s so exciting that I’m almost done with the first two seasons of this podcast, which is 80 episodes. Can’t wait to start other intermediate level podcasts after that. Originally there was a Show Time Spanish podcast after the initial Coffee Break Spanish series, but over time they have rebranded first 40 episodes as season 1, the second 40 episodes as season 2, and the Show Time Spanish is now season 3 of Coffee Break Spanish.
This week I noticed that I’m very comfortable with speaking simple phrases. Even if somebody doesn’t speak Spanish, but the topic comes up, I still say few sentences in Spanish. I think that’s a great start – then later when coming across Spanish speakers I will be more likely to default in speaking Spanish and continue the conversation in Spanish.
This week all focus was on Coffee Break Spanish as I was so close to the end of first 2 seasons; but I still kept Duolingo streak and a bit of memrise every day.
Here are the numbers. Total time spent studying: 426 minutes or 7h:6m or on average 1h:1m per day. Here is the breakdown:
– I have been able to keep up the Duolingo streak.
– I studied more than half an hour each day.
– I’m so close to being done with the original Coffee Break Spanish course (80 episodes).
Lowlights of the week:
– Still haven’t written anything in Spanish.
Till tomorrow!
