What is the best way to go through these lessons?

Question

I am wandering what the best way to go through these lessons is to help insure that I will retain what I am learning. So, if anyone could share with me how they are learning these lessons the easiest on here, that would be great. Also, has anyone become a fluent Spanish speaker from these? I need help on learning. PLEASE

This site is great for translation and dictionary, and I like the learning videos for the grammar lessons, so I just go in order. I watch the lessons as many times as needed, then do the flashcards several times until I know them, and then do all the recognize, recall, etc. until I get a high score. I sometimes look at the Spanish Language Reference in this site (scroll down to the bottom of the page on SpanishDict) to get extra grammar help. I have a binder to write down notes and vocabulary that I am apt to forget, and I review them frequently until they're very familiar. However, it would be awesome if they made more practice grammar exercises based on the learning videos, because the only grammar practice I found was in the Reference section. I also have another textbook for further learning. Anytime you are unsure about a certain verb conjugation, you can look up the word in the dictionary and scroll all the way down.

I guess it all takes time and much practice, but good luck!

You could watch all the lessons and type them in a document. That way you can learn and remember them.

Also you can go through the flashcards for each lesson a couple of times and go through the recognising, listening and review until you have learnt the words.

You can also get full explainations on some of the lessons in the reference section.

You could also use the dictionary, translations and the conjugation if you need to.

A few months ago, Paralee posted information on the best way to make use of the videos. I have not been able to locate that post. Hopefully, I will find it or someone else will soon.

Basically, it was suggested that you take about one week to go through each lesson. They are not to be rushed. I can not remember the exact sequence, but I believe it was suggested that you should watch the video through once. As you watch it for a second or third time, I would take notes quickly as you watch the video. Later, rewrite your notes neatly in your own words (in a way that makes sense to you). One day can be spent on the flashcards and games, etc. Basically, spread the learning out over several days, until you are comfortable to move on to the next lesson.

I am also including a link which discusses what you can expect to accomplish with these videos.click here
