Eh, if it doesn't sound like fun then don't do it. I think what you are doing now, since you find it enjoyable, will ultimately lead to not only a higher competence in your languages but also a higher satisfaction level as well. Relaxed brains enjoying the learning process learn best.

Soon you will feel like you are falling, the suddenly forget to hit the ground, and then wind up flying.

Just don't forget to keep working on your listening comprehension whenever possible!

Do you listen to any talk radio programs or podcasts from Puerto Rico?

Yes, like Kimojima, I've been remembering at least 70% of my Japanese Goldlists at first pass, instead of 30% - and I put it down to unknowingly knowing (haha!) a lot of passive words. Curiously, I couldn't remember though some words I THOUGHT I knew from my prior university study (13 week course). This is probably because they were learned during cramming for tests and exams!

I guess eventually my retention will drop to 30%.... Kudos to David James (aka Huliganov).
PS I like my Goldlists (including Chinese) so much, I don't want to tear any pages out!:) - but whatever works for you Kimojima, go ahead!:)
