SDLAP 110
Entry #2
Goal for the week:
Soccer vocabulary.
Result:
I did not learn soccer vocabulary, but moved on to other things I cared more about at this time.
I realized the necessity for having a more organized structure for language acquisition. I have started the implementation of a new learning plan: see SDLAP 105 Entry 1.
Language partner will still provide dialogues. The foundation in more rigorous vocabulary and grammar study should make them more fruitful.

Method:
The most important part of this week was how unsatisfied I was with the structural organization of my learning and how irritated I was with my own lingual competence. This week was mostly drilling myself, memorization, and then realizing in my sessions that I needed to switch things up a little bit if I wanted to be as efficient, productive, and competent as possible. Thus, the most important learning experience from this week was the change that it inspired for the next week (see SDLAP 105 Entry 1 for details).
