Learning French day 49, update

Strategie #1. 

Using the pdf of the book "Learn French with Paul Noble" and resuming it into 10 grammar lessons. 

Tactics:

- Recording each lesson into a 2 or 3 minutes episodes of podcast (as a way of maintaining the motivation).

- Writing main lessons on papers and sticking it to the wall in the leaving room (to see it constantly and help my unconscious maintain it in mind always).

- Re-writing the lessons in the description of the episode when posting it in the podcast.

- Listening to my own podcast episodes while looking at the notes on the wall. It usually took around 22 minutes to listen to the 10 episodes. 

Duration: The last lesson was completed on the Day 20.

AMOUNT of hours of study: 18 hours of effective studying.

How often: Four times a week on average.

Strategy #2. 

Using Duolingo.

Description: It seems very useful even though I haven't been back. I did it for a total of 8 days and using two hours of wfective studying. Main reason for stopping: using Duolingo in a different device from my phone.

Strategy #3.

Learning vocabulary by reading "French short stories for beginners".

Tactics:

- Reading each story in French and English which takes 20 minutes on average.

- Recording each story as a new podcast episode (to maintain motivation). 

- Writing vocabulary on paper and sticking it to the wall in the leaving room. 

Results so far: between the day 29 and day 45, there have been recorded 5 stories. And the vocabulary has been written in paper for the first 2 stories.

Hours of study: 7 hours of effective study.

Strategy #4. 

Talking in French with a native French speaker. 

Description: it's just starting since Day 44 during one hour. 

OVERALL, there is now enough knowledge to try to understand and communicate in simple conversations. Good progress although there is still a lot more to improve.
