Completed the rest of lesson 5 and all of lesson 6 of Portuguese in 3 months. Went over the imperfect tense, the imperative and pronouns. Did 5 exercises composed of translating sentence to and from Portuguese to English, each exercise consisting of 12-16 sentences which gave me a good amount of practice. Also did chapters 5 and 6 of TY Portuguese [which really isn't too helpful without the accompaning cds]. Found a nice song in Portuguese from a singer from Lisbon and it was good to hear the European accent opposed to the Brazilian. Translated the song into English.
I feel that a lot of what is holding me back from having a higher level of Portuguese is my lack of experience and exposure with the language. So I've raided my dvd collection and have singled out those which have Portuguese subtitles and so now I'm off to watch happy Gilmore
