yes! smashed vocab 12-14!

just did flash card tests of the latest vocab words flash cards 12, 13 and 14 and smashed them.  i missed like one answer (right now).  guess that means i have to start some new flash cards.  i also need to review 1-11 so i don't lose it.  this is very exciting!  having a vocab of 70 russian words is a very nice start.

70 vocab words!

So I have now created e-flash cards for 70 vocab words!  I pretty much have the alphabet down and I've memorized probably at least 40 different words.  Unfortunately I haven't made much progress on grammar and I haven't really begun to do much speaking, listening, writing or reading in Russian.  Maybe I need a children's grammar book.  I dunno.  I am making steady progress on the flash cards though.  They are great and convenient!  I like to spend the odd 2-5 minutes here and there but it would be nice to devote a whole day to memorizing vocab.  I mean it would be boring as fuck, but the long term pay off would be huge.

PROGRESS UPDATE

so i just created vocab flash cards 10 & 11.  I don't perfectly know everything on the alphabet cards and 1-9 but i will continue to review them this week and so far i am probably around 80%.  I guess I need to expand my practice beyond flash cards.  Tapes, studying grammar... some day hopefully skype conversations!
