20 hours

Strengthened to here. As you can see I still have a bit more strengthening to do if I just want to strengthen everything before moving on. I have a feeling I won't finish the tree before 34 hours is up.

Placement Test for 7/9/2017

I got the sames scores as last time. On both tests? That doesn't seem right. I guess I haven't made a lot of progress in the last 7 hours. Frustrating!

17 hours, halfway point!!!

Today, I did three new modules before I strengthened. I didn't get everything strengthened, but I felt like I wasn't progressing with the way I was doing things before.

I'll take a placement test some time tonight or tomorrow and we'll compare my level now with my level back at 10 hours! 

11 hours, 10 minutes - 6/20/2017

I spent most of the last 40 minutes strengthening everything. But I did almost finish the unit for phrasal future tense. I was hoping to finish it, but on the bright side, I only have two parts left before it's done.

Plus 30 minutes

Today, I felt reluctant to get on Duolingo at all, so I decided to start with 30 minutes. I also decided to work my way from the "top down". I strengthened the harder lessons and worked my way backward towards the easier lessons. This made me feel less frustrated by the time I got to the end of the time limit. 

I didn't finish strengthening, though. But as you may know if you've been following this blog, I took a break yesterday.

Placement Test Results - 6/18/2017

According to LingQ's placement test, I am at an intermediate 1 level. Their test is mainly vocabulary based, although it does have a reading segment at the end.

I think Transparent's placement tests are pretty well done, and they give you a lot of information, so I took that one next. I was actually surprised at how well I did. 59/159 points doesn't sound like a lot, but that's quite a bit of progress.

According to Transparent, I'm still a beginner.

There is more work to be done!
