  Hello,

 I have a question how to proceed proparly to get the best out of this course.
Assume, I'am doing now unit 1 and this unit has as you all know 6 tape-parts. Should I do all in row starting from tape 1.1 till 1.6. and repeat this procedure everyday until I understand the lesson completely. Or should I repeat tape 1.1 till I understand it and then go over to tape 1.2. and do they same procedure as I did in tape 1.1.
What are your comments and recommendations?

Instead of repeating entire tapes or lessons, it may work better to repeat individual drills or a small group of drills until throughly mastered.
You may repeat a tape for review if you wish.
 
The dialogues should be repeated until they come out as naturally as your normal english speech. In other words, there should be NO UNNATURAL HESITATIONS while reciting it. At the very least, memorize the dialogues well, as they are the basis of this course on which everything else builds.

I don't think memorizing dialogues is important- what's important is being able to use the new expressions present in dialogues in a practical way.
 
That is being able to understand the grammar behind this and build new vocabulary. FSI is not the course which will give you complete fluency- you'l need to supplement it with something else like FIA or Pimsleur.
 
Having come from Pimsleur to FSI made it real easy to get the conversational part balanced out in FSI. Pimsleur makes you talk. FSI makes you discover the foundations through a little bit of everything in a slightly boring way)
