Sometimes, every once in awhile, you just need to sleep on a problem to make it go away. Such as my mental block with object pronouns. For the past several days, I've been stuck with object pronouns on both memrise (I'd memorize the sentence, but not actually understand it), and on Duolingo.
Today, I'm proud to report I got through it! I'm still a bit shaky, but at some point, it truly clicked how object pronouns go before what they're describing (i.e. te veré; I will see you), and was able to get through the Object Pronoun lessons on Duoling without too much difficulty. Now the only major thing left to open in this section is Verbs: Past, which I feel I will have a good understanding of due to practicing on memrise, and focusing on these with my language partners and tutors.
In addition, I managed a full hour of lang-ex today; normally, I'm struggling to do 30-30, but I managed to get through it. Scheduling my language partners has helped, though its still really shakey, and my disrupted sleep patterns aren't helping any. While I've made excellent progress thus far, I still feel rather short of where I *want* to be.
This combined with tomorrow being yet another travel day (thus unlikely to have any conversations in Spanish), does put a bit of damper on today. Ah well, its always a myth that you will have the perfect study environment.
