Day Three of Pimsleur...

Alright, as the title says, this is day three of me on Pimsleur French. I was really excited at first, but I've kind of been discouraged. I don't know what about today is causing this, but I just all of a sudden don't feel like keeping up with it. So I stopped the lesson halfway through and I'm going to restart it tomorrow.

Here are the strengths and weaknesses of this system so far:

Strengths:

• It's incredibly easy. You repeat what they say and pay attention when they're speaking English.
• It's at a very slow, comfortable pace.

Weaknesses:

• It's incredibly easy. At times it seems almost mindless. I don't really get why it takes so much out of you, but sometimes I'll repeat the same section three or four times and get nothing out of it.
• It's at a very slow, unexciting pace.

I do really like it still, I think I just need the rest of the day off.

Just so you know, here's what the lessons have entailed so far: I can now say hello, goodbye, ask someone if they speak English, and identify myself as American, as well as a bunch of little other things like the word for "a little", and other little things like that.

Supposedly, the 90 lessons, 30 minutes a day, get you speaking fluently in three months. We'll see how well that goes haha.

So, ta-ta for now!
