slowly, steadily....

I've been pressing on with my Spanish studies and am still working on LSLC.

I hit a wall a few months back and just couldn't seem to make new info stick in my brain. It happens, and by my age I've cultivated something of a relaxed attitude about it. heh

After a certain amount of grinding, I tried changing gears and focusing on a different approach to the material, but hit some dead ends.

So lately I've been back to a routine quite similar to what was working out for me before, and I'm finding it less of a grind. Maybe I was just becoming bored with the routine and needed a break, because the same material that had me stuck seemed reasonable enough when I returned to it.

At this point, I'm working on lessons on the Present Perfect Tense in LSLC during the commute. I still find a good bit of material overlap between Pimsleur and LSLC, but that's a *good* thing.

If I had to recommend just one Spanish self-study product of this type currently, I'd lean toward LSLC. For the money, it's quite good.
