Main goal: Be familiar with 3 past tenses (perfecto, indefinido, imperfecto) and be able to use them
Activities
1. At the end of the day or the next day (it depends on how late I work). I’ll write two sentences about the previous day.
2. Once a week, have a 30 minute conversation with a teacher or friend in Spanish.
3. I’ll work on each tense – perfecto (April), indefinido (May), imperfecto (June)
Apart from these, I’ll continue the classes I have – I have an unlimited package that allows me to have as many classes as I want Monday – Friday. I attend at least 3 and up to 12 depending on how busy my schedule is. The classes are small so I get lots of practice speaking and being corrected by my teacher.

My comprehension is pretty good but my grammar is atrocious. So by June 30, I will have reviewed and practiced the past tenses (preterito imperfecto, preterito indefinido and preterito perfecto – pluscuamperfecto I’ll deal with on a later date).

I got to A2 level – my reading and listening skills are better than my speaking and writing, but I’m pretty happy. I’ve had a couple of language exchange conversations and I attend classes a few times a week. I’m reading (and listening) to one of my favorite classic books in Spanish and it’s becoming easier to follow the story. I’m excited to continue my journey.

Ooh yeah I didn’t think of that. Thanks Tamara!

La Princesita (A Little Princess). I’m listening to it whenever I can, too. It’s great coz I remember the story so well that now I’m just enjoying it in another language.
