Hi Sylvia,

You definitely need to write the things you learn down. And then more importantly, you need to condition their recall so you are always able to recall them. That’s the part most people miss.

Regards

Michael

Good advice to watch TV. Friends of ours moved to Brittany ten years ago and they learned so much from watching the French version of ‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’ where the contestant is asked a question and then has four options (which are on the screen) to choose the right answer. They also bought an illustrated dictionary, published by Penguin. This wasn’t much help for grammar but ace for giving you every word you could need in different contexts, even obscure plumbing terms and car engine parts.
It’s also vital to have the little notebook and write words down. I agree – you forget them otherwise.
I’ve tried watching the Spanish-speaking channels on US television but I’m exhausted and frustrated after 5 minutes. I’ll follow your advice though and wait for the commercials.
Hasta pronto!
Sylvia
