Acquiring Russian The Natural Way

  According to Speakly I've learned another 100 words (or lemmas) between the 7th of March to the 19th of March. That's 7.69 lemmas per day. As I wrote before I seem to be 'learning' (recognising, not producing) words faster.  I won't go into further detail today. You can read previous posts where I discuss whether this pace will be sustained and what it really means. Short answer: While it should get easier to learn vocabulary over time, the speed at which I do so will most likely ebb and flow. Milestone: 1300 words in Speakly Milestone: 1200 words in Speakly .  Do you use Speakly? What do you think of it?

  According to Speakly I've learned another 119 words (or lemmas) between January the 19th and March the 6th. Over 47 days that comes to 2.53 new words per day. As predicted in my last Speakly post I seem to be learning words faster  Milestone: 1200 words in Speakly . I don't know if that is something that will sustain, some of the words I already knew before, but I wonder if it gets easier to learn vocabulary the more words you already know. There are 2681 words left to learn in Speakly. At 2.53 words per day it will take = 1,059.68 days to finish 1,059.68 / 365 = 2.9 years. From the previous post: If I were to continue at the current rate it would take almost 6 years to learn all 4000 words in the Speakly app. 2,800 / 1.34 = 2,089 days 2,089 / 365 = 5.72 years I think I will progress faster than that though. I've found that int the past couple of weeks I'm able to use the app for longer periods of time compared to when I first started. Sometimes I can be using Speakly...

January and February were very busy for me due to having to move house. So I was only able to do the absolute minimum amount of studying, essentially only able to use the Speakly app for a couple of minutes day. It will be interesting to see how this 'break' will affect my speaking ability when I try that again.
