I’m interested in how people in the readlang community are using readlang. I’m sure there are plenty of people way beyond me, but I’m going to “brag” a little, if only because it motives me to have someone to share my effort with (hope that is okay and taken in the spirit intended).
So, today I used Blitz with a timer. Actually I did three 15 minute timed segments, so I could stretch in between. I just reviewed 575 words and phrases in 45 minutes giving me an average review time of just under 4.7 seconds per correct match. ;-).
That’s especially motivating for me because after yesterday, when I took probably 7 hours to review only 500 words, without timing, I was feeling a little bit worn out, and I thinking of slacking off going forward (because I need to get back to reading and socializing…in Spanish, not just Blitzing).
But now I now that I should be able to keep my 500 word review target per day and do it all in less than an hour, even allowing for some new phrases, if I make a game of it, and accept more “mistakes”, by racing my timer (and I need to get better at accepting my mistakes if I am going to go forward with speaking)! So, I thought I would share that as an idea:
Time yourself! And it might not be a bad feature to include in Blitz mode, either! ;->
I’d honestly like to hear YOUR story. Everyone is a winner, with ReadLang and a little perseverance! ;->
