You gave a lot of information and I like that. I found the course fun and helpful. I liked having the vocabulary list each week and the translation exercises. There is a great deal to think about. Once I had the correct translations I typed up the sentence together with the Spanish and would go through them carefully.
Examples are helpful in understanding the rules.
Then I would have questions. I don't know how I could learn faster. I might give this some more thought. I have learned a lot. With your help and the aid of the tape, I have been able to retain a lot of the lessons.
