I'm not sure of the first time I heard of memrise, but I found it linked off a website posted in the add1challenge group, and I finally have found a SRS that I can actually tolerate. I've been running through the Spanish intro course, and already managed to add "me gustaría" and a few other handy bits to my vocabulary. I'll definiately be using this as I continue.
On the duolingo front, I managed to hit a brick-wall, and got stuck on the Determinators lesson; struggling with "esto", "eso", "ese", and "este", which are similar enough that they seem interchangable. I know they're not, but it still drives me a bit crazy.
In other news, I drafted up a script for my next YouTube video but I've yet to actually film it; I *really* dislike posting videos to YouTube I find, but as its part of the challenge, I'll probably manage it tomorrow or Friday. I had another couple of good conversations, so all and all, this was generally a win-win.
Furthermore, I *really* need to figure out the best way to study past/future tense conjucations. I know I've complained about that before (I think), but my original plan of reaching the Duo lessons on it take too long, and this is my biggest blocker. I hate to study some grammar website, but I'm not sure what best to do.
Finally, I need to get more Spanish media into my life, and not just reading; my audio comprehension for Spanish is poor to say the least, and often require people to write things. Its good to know I still have 8/9ths of this challenge left though.
