My language partner used to meet up every week. We used to set an agenda before every meeting of ours. This agenda was aimed towards inching me closer towards the goals that I had described in my learning plan. We started off with something very simple which was names of numbers, days and months. We then moved on to advanced concepts such as sentence structure. Sometimes, the weekly agendas were decided by language partner based on how I was performing. We used to cover areas that I found difficult more throughly are more often.
I used in sit in on Skype conversations of my language partner to track how I was doing. At the begging of the semester, I did not understand any of the conversations. However, as I gained more knowledge, the conversations started to become clear. Given that I had made much progress, I also practiced speaking the language but I would put my language partner to tears every single time.
