    Posted: 14 June 2008 at 1:31pm
I have noticed, as a weekend studier, that I tend to forget things that I have learned semi-actively during the week. So on the weekends, to really log as much progress as possible so I try to go through the French Phonology as fast as possible.

For the beginning French Phonology lessons, I find myself being rather bored, so I am going through them in one shot. (Doesn't seem like a lot of new information is being given...) What I am wondering, is how fast are people going through the phonology lessons on average? Do people limit themselves to one a day for the easy ones? (On Pimlseur, I am averaging 4 to 5 go arounds depending on the difficulty of material and language, and my level of distraction...)

Thanks for your thoughts!

Just a personal observation...in most cases, I think a little bit of studying and review every day is better that a lengthy session once a week.
 
I'm trying to work through the French phonology session myself, and I find that one tape a day works for me.  They are pretty light on the content (just short dialogues), so that schedule is working for me.  At least so far.

If I am not dead tired after work, I try to do a tape at night. I do work on Pimsleur through out the week, so I am at least working on something related.

Just out of curiosity, has it been posted how quickly the FSI students complete a Programmed Introduction course? For example, is this a 2 week course?
