You have good days, you have bad days.
I'm pretty sure I've said this before on this blog, but as of late, its more true than anything. I find myself actually understanding Spanish, or at least, less confused when doing reading or practicing with a language partner on Skype. Yesterday, you could say I was on cloud 9, and I even had an excellent conversation with my teacher mostly in Spanish as we went through a script that will form my next video update (my Spanish isn't good enough to do a freeform update as of yet :-)).
I managed both 30 minutes with a language partner, and an hour in 1:1 tutoring, and I really feel I can get behind this. My pronunciation of words in Spanish is far better than it was just a few days ago, and I'm getting to the point that I can sometimes understand words from context (though this is very hit or miss to say the least).
All and all, I keep soldiering on.
In other news, I might be returning to the United States this weekend due to personal issues I have to resolve. It shouldn't affect my challenge (though I might miss a day due to the flights and general travel fatigue), but its just something to keep in mind.
I also started experimenting with Memrise to replace anki for my vocabulary and learning needs, but its too soon to really form much of an opinion on it.
