Got to keep going.

@NerdyDad now it's on

Dammit, I gotta play catch-up.

I'm done for the day.

Holy crap.... I'm so far behind from 1 day of not keeping up. Looks like I need to play catch up this weekend. My wife is even beating me now.

For those of you who are getting to higher percentages and spending time in the app, do you actually feel like you're gaining real proficiency?

Yeah, tons. Partially because I'm making sure to do it every day, no exceptions. And I'm planning to do it continuously like this for the few weeks until I'm in Italy. Then I'll be practicing with real people every day for three months.

Yes, but having taken 4 years of Spanish in HS, there are areas that I need to review that have not come up yet. And the site/app uses some different word for some things than I was taught, so that keeps tripping me up. But it is good practice, and it is improving my typing speed as well (because I'm just trying to blow through the level I/II stuff).

App in Castilian. Most US schools teach Mexican.

When I was in Spain I was mistaken for a Mexican because of my accent and Mexican lexicon.
