The past few days have been up and down to say the least. Between sleep and real life issues, my progress in Spanish simply wasn't really going too far; hell even on Duolingo, I had failed to progress in any topic I unlocked.
However, it sometimes just takes just one really good day to keep moving. Today I managed to get through my outstanding LWT texts, and run through the ~200 words I had added through its database, knowing about half of what I added. While my retention for vocabulary still requires some work, that's not bad.
Furthermore, I've managed more progress on Duolingo, and find I have a greater mastery of Spanish grammar, even managing to conjugate several times correctly without having to think about it. This led up to almost two hours of written Spanish conversations with Sarah.
Now I note, I'm not magically fluent, and I was running to SpanishDict and Google Translate to look up individual vocabulary fairly constantly, but I never managled myself so badly that I was always understandable. I truly feel there is a light at the end of the tunnel here on learning Spanish ...
I suppose you'll get to judge soon, which brings me to my next topic ...
As week one comes to a close, I remember that I promised a YouTube video for today, but due to various circumstances, I'm going to push it back one day as it may be a more interesting treat for you showing me having an actual conversation.
